Case Study: Lemonade Stand
“It was a pleasure to work with Daily House on the writing and publication of my first book, The Lemonade Stand. We went from concept to launch within a very short window. Being a newbie in the publishing world, it was essential for me to have someone guide me through the complicated process. Their suggestions were always spot on and their encouragement kept me going. Thank you, Daily House, for helping me realize my lifelong goal.”
The Client
Michelle Faust wanted to share her story of perseverance with the victims of workplace discrimination. She wrote a powerful essay but wondered how to publish it in a way that would reach the people who desperately needed to hear her message. Michelle realized that she could combine forces with the women in her personal and professional network who had a common history of overcoming seemingly insurmountable tragedies. She reached out to Daily House to compile these stories into an anthology.
The Book
Inspired by the series “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” The Lemonade Stand offers its own twist to the concept by sharing real stories of courage and vulnerability. The contributors are each unique with stories ranging from surviving stage-four cancer to being sentenced to prison for white-collar crime. No matter how harrowing the ordeal, the commonality of the lemonade stories is that health, joy, and success do return and are waiting on the other side of calamity.
The Solution
The Opportunities

Case Study: You Do What?
“Thank you, Daily House, for consistently pushing and helping me on my journey. From branding to social media, I have had to rethink the way I do things and forge a new way of marketing myself. I am blessed to have a team who believes in me and wants to see me succeed. Yes, I’m a hard worker and will do what’s required, but I also realize that reaching #1 in 6 categories on Amazon could not have been possible without my team!“
The Client
Prior to joining the Experiential Marketing industry, Jae Davis was a fashion model and a Division-I basketball player. After college, Jae realized that the typical American dream was not her dream. Her weekend side-hustle as a brand ambassador for companies such as Cadillac and Coca-Cola quickly became her passion and a full-time pursuit. Jae applied the skills she learned at events to move up the ranks from brand ambassador to national tour manager and finally, to bestselling author and experiential marketing consultant. Jae reached out to Daily House to create her author brand and expand her platform.
The Book
Jae’s no-nonsense career guide offers readers step-by-step instructions on how to join the fast-growing but often misunderstood field of experiential marketing. Her book takes readers on a whirlwind tour of her exciting (and sometimes crazy) career path. You Do What? is a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to execute events for some of the top brands.

Jae needed to expand her platform and monetize her first book. Using Daily House’s Bestseller Book Launch method, Jae converted her book launch team into a thriving Facebook group called the EXP Elite. Her 2000+ members look to her for career advice, job opportunities, and training. Daily House transformed Jae’s book into a profitable online course and a popular YouTube channel. Since working with Daily House, Jae has become a top influencer in her field and is sought after by Fortune 500 companies as an experiential marketing tour consultant and staffing expert.

Author of Why Not Now
Looking back, now 20 years gone and 10 books written since we first worked together, I think of you not only as an editor, but also as a teacher and guide. I remember learning “how to be concise” from you way back in the late 1990’s when you edited my early work for Hazelden.

Case Study: Contagious Love
“I highly recommend Daily House! They took the creative mess in my mind and strategically placed it in a cohesive, structured book outline. But the best part is they worked with my ideas and never tried to direct my creativity one way or the other.”

The Solution
Carla was looking through old journal entries from 2017 when she saw that she had created an intention to write a book. When she set the goal, she had felt like something was missing. As a relationship counselor and a dating coach, Carla knew she could offer more to women beyond helping them with breakups or creating online dating profiles. She decided that she was going to get her book done, but she needed help to do it. She created a new due date and hired Corrine to coach her. Together, Corrine and Carla created a schedule and an outline—it was a game-changer. Corrine didn’t let her off the hook. Carla wrote her book in airports, in empty apartments, and across timezones—it was an outlet and a constant for her in turbulent times. Carla met her goal and completed her book in three months.
