Travis Makes Money

Make Money by Turning One Book into a Global Healing Brand


Listen Later

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

    1. 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.​

    2. 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.​

    3. 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.​​

      Notable Quotes

      • “When you self‑publish, you can make money from the very first copy—and you can change the book any time you need to.”​

      • “My policy has been to do any show, anywhere, at any time. That’s how you build a movement.”​​

      • “I didn’t know what it would look like; I just knew this information had to get out into the world.”​
