Scaling Success and Embracing Digital Opportunities
The Ridge Publishing Group. CEO Annual Report
COEUR D’ALENE, ID (January 10, 2024) – The year 2023 was a period of significant expansion and innovation for The Ridge Publishing Group. We’ve made remarkable strides in several key areas, reinforcing our commitment to transforming the landscape of publishing and education. Our commitment to redefining the industry is evident in several key developments over the past year:
2023 CEO Annual Report: AuthorsDoor Group Expansion:
In 2023, The Ridge Publishing Group took a significant step in expanding the AuthorsDoor Group. This expansion was designed to provide comprehensive guidance in the world of publishing, breaking down complex tasks into manageable segments. Our goal was to offer background knowledge and insights into the essentials of writing, publishing, marketing, and selling books.
The expansion included three progressive series: (1) AuthorsDoor Series: Publisher & Her World, (2) AuthorsDoor Advance Series: Publisher & Her World, and (3) AuthorsDoor MasterClass Series: Publisher & Her World. Each series encompasses a unique approach to teaching, featuring books, courses, and workbooks, tailored to different levels of publishing experience.
The courses, available for free on our YouTube channel, ‘Publisher & Her World,’ covers seven subjects in the AuthorsDoor Series: Secrets that Sell Books, Websites that Sell Books, Blog Sites that Sell Books, Social Media that Sells Books, Multimedia that Sells Books, Metadata that Sells Books, and Publishing that Sells Books. Each subject was explored in-depth in three parts: book, course, and workbook. Similarly, the AuthorsDoor Advance Series delves into five subjects: Writing that Sells Books, Marketing that Sells Books, Advertising that Sells Books, Branding that Sells Books, and Publicity that Sells Books.
This AuthorsDoor Leadership program, set to launch in Q3 2024, aims to bridge the gap between aspiring and experienced publishers, offering advanced insights and strategies for success in the publishing world.
This expansion of the AuthorsDoor Group is a testament to our commitment to empowering authors and publishers with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in today’s dynamic publishing landscape.
New Author Website:
In a strategic move to enhance our online footprint, 2023 saw the development of LAMoeszinger.com, a dedicated author-centric website. This platform is integral to our New Youniversity program, offering a unique blend of educational and interactive content. The site prominently showcases The Manhattan Diaries series, a groundbreaking 21-book narrative published by the Urban Chronicles Publishing House, designed to reveal a new, unseen side of YOU.
Embracing the potent “rapid-release” strategy, The Manhattan Diaries series was divided into four captivating mini-series: (1) Manhattan Allure – Just Like That, (2) Manhattan Vitality – Just Like That, (3) Manhattan Lifestyle – Just Like That, and (4) Manhattan Ambition – Just Like That. Each mini-series consists of books released in close succession, leveraging this technique’s power to maximize visibility and engagement on Amazon.
This rapid-release approach is key to overcoming Amazon’s 30, 60, and 90-day cliffs, ensuring our titles remain prominent in the New Release lists, thereby maintaining reader engagement and driving sales. LAMoeszinger.com is more than just a website; it’s a dynamic platform that seamlessly integrates our innovative marketing strategies with rich content to offer readers an immersive and interactive experience.
Ethan Fox Books Website Reboot for Film
A major highlight of 2023 was the comprehensive re-development of the Ethan Fox Books website, scheduled to launch Q1 2024, aligning it with our strategic pivot towards film. This transformation required us to bring all artistic works in-house, a move that entailed a significant learning curve. Our dedicated efforts throughout the year enabled us to effectively integrate the literary world of Ethan Fox with the visually rich medium of film, enhancing our storytelling capabilities.
This reboot is not merely a cosmetic change but represents a pivotal shift in our approach to content creation, enabling a seamless transition of the Ethan Fox narrative from books to film. The revamped website and blog site EthanFoxBooks.com and KidsStagram.com now serve as a dynamic portals, offering our audience a more engaging and visually immersive experience.

Key aspects include:

New Releases and Reboots:
The year 2023 was marked by significant new releases and reboots within The Ridge Publishing Group. Again, capitalizing on Amazon’s “rapid release” strategy, we will proudly launch The Living Waters ten book series, debuting with “Passion for Christ: New Beginnings.” This series is a testament to our commitment to exploring deep, meaningful themes through our publications.
Likewise, we will undertake a major reboot and expansion of our business law books. Titles such as “Business Structures and Incorporation,” “Trademark Protection and Prosecution,” and “Business Plans and Investor Presentations” will be completely reworked, updated, re-titled, and re-authored with new ISBNs, LCCNs, and book covers. This initiative was aimed at ensuring that our content remains relevant and impactful in the ever-evolving landscape of business and law.
These efforts are part of our ongoing mission to bring fresh perspectives and innovative content to our readers, staying true to our commitment to quality, relevance, and engagement in all our publications.
Articles and Online Presence:
In 2023, The Ridge Publishing Group significantly enhanced its online presence, particularly through the AuthorsDoor Group website. This transformation is more than a redesign; it represents a strategic shift to becoming a premier source of publishing knowledge and insights. The website will boast hundreds of meticulously crafted articles, each directly associated with a specific book from the AuthorsDoor Leadership program.
This rich collection of articles serves not only as a comprehensive resource for budding and seasoned authors but also as a bridge connecting our readers with our published works. By linking articles to specific books, we’ve created a seamless journey from educational content to our published titles, enhancing reader engagement and providing valuable insights directly tied to our literary offerings.
Amazon’s Rapid Release Program:
In 2023, The Ridge Publishing Group embraced Amazon’s Rapid Release Program for the Q1 2024 launch of (1) The Living Waters series, (2) The Manhattan Diaries series, and (3) The Ethan Fox publications. This strategy will involve releasing a book within its series every 30 days, forevermore. With that said, The Manhattan Diaries 21-book series will be released every two-weeks to test drive an accelerated rapid release strategy. Published in close succession, this approach is designed to maximize a book’s visibility and sales momentum on Amazon.
For the first 30 days after publication, books are listed on Amazon’s New Release lists, gaining enhanced visibility and search ranking. By releasing books in a series in rapid succession, we maintain a consistent presence on these lists, ensuring sustained reader engagement and sales. The Manhattan Diaries series, for example, released in mini-series format, capitalize on this strategy with an additional layer, with each book published two weeks apart, keeping the series constantly in the limelight and engaging readers continuously.
This rapid release approach has proven to be a game-changer in our marketing strategy, demonstrating a powerful method to build momentum for a series and foster a strong, loyal readership. Amazon’s Rapid Release Program is a marketing strategy often used by authors and publishers, especially in the context of series or multiple related books. Here’s how it works:
- Frequent Publishing: Authors release books in quick succession, often spacing them a few weeks to a month apart. This strategy is particularly effective for series.
- Visibility on New Release Lists: On Amazon, new books appear in the New Release lists for their categories for the first 30 days. Releasing books rapidly helps keep the series constantly in these lists, enhancing visibility.
- Sustained Engagement: Rapid release helps maintain reader interest and engagement. As readers finish one book, the next one is already available or coming soon, keeping them invested in the series.
- Algorithm Boost: Amazon’s recommendation algorithm favors books with consistent sales and customer engagement. Rapidly releasing books can maintain a steady flow of sales and reviews, which can lead to better visibility across the platform.
- Building a Fanbase: This method can be effective in quickly building a fanbase, as readers are more likely to invest in a series that they see is actively being continued and completed.
- Overcoming Sales Cliffs: Books typically see a drop in sales after the initial release period. The rapid release strategy can mitigate these sales cliffs, maintaining momentum for the series.
In summary, Amazon’s Rapid Release Program is a strategic approach for authors to keep their work prominently featured on Amazon, maintain reader engagement, and potentially enhance sales and visibility through consistent, sequential releases.
As we step into 2024, The Ridge Publishing Group remains steadfast in its mission to redefine learning and publishing. Our innovative approaches, from expanding educational resources to embracing new digital strategies, reflect our commitment to staying at the forefront of industry trends. We are excited about the future and the opportunities it holds for us to continue making a positive impact in the realms of literature and education.
