Make Money by Turning One Book into a Global Healing Brand
Dr. Bradley Nelson is a holistic physician, USA Today bestselling author, and one of the world’s leading voices in energy healing and root-cause wellness. As founder and CEO of Discover Healing, he created The Emotion Code®, The Body Code™, and The Belief Code®, and has now released The Heart Code, a book focused on dissolving “Heart-Walls” to unlock abundance, healing, and deeper purpose.
On this episode we talk about:
-
How Dr. Nelson went from chiropractor and former computer programmer to bestselling author and global teacher.
-
The journey of self‑publishing The Emotion Code and later landing a six‑figure advance when St. Martin’s republished it.
-
Why he believes in doing “any show, anywhere” and how roughly 1,700 interviews have fueled book sales and brand growth.
-
How he built Discover Healing’s main revenue engine through multi‑level certification in Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code.
-
The launch strategy behind The Heart Code—preorders, bonus gifts, and bulk packages to hit the USA Today list.
Top 3 Takeaways
-
One book can be a business, not just a product. Dr. Nelson used his first book as a foundation for courses, certifications, an app, and live events—eventually certifying 15,000+ practitioners in 108 countries.
-
Self‑publishing vs. traditional isn’t either/or. He started by self‑publishing to move fast and keep margins, then later partnered with a major publisher for reach and credibility once demand was proven.
-
Relentless visibility compounds. Years of consistent podcast, radio, and media appearances have created a global audience that now supports new book launches like The Heart Code.
