• Fabio Story
  • Publisher Avon Books estimated his image increased sales by as much as 33% when he appeared on the cover with a woman;
  • 45% when he appeared alone.
  • Each photo session would get Fabio in about 16 cover poses that artists could reuse for multiple covers. He’s on more than 2,000 book covers.
  • The guy most famous for bare-chested covers made very little money from posing for them. He used his popularity to turn himself into an iconic brand.
  • It is easier to turn fame into fortune, than it is to turn fortune into fame. And that is how you make money as an author.
