I started my self-publishing journey at the end of 2022, and in June of 2024 I launched this community with one simple mission: to teach people how to publish their own books. I know that many of us get started because we're looking for another source of income, a way to build our business, or a way to create something that continues working for us long after it's published. But when you're just starting out, spending thousands of dollars to hire a publishing company often isn't realistic. That's why I wanted to create a place where you could learn the entire process yourself. Just because I offer affordable coaching and support doesn't mean I lack publishing experience. Over the past few years, I've published more than 12 books that have collectively generated six figures in royalties—all while working a full-time job. So yes...it is absolutely possible. The biggest hurdle isn't writing ten books. It's finishing your first one. Your first book proves to yourself that you can do it. Once you've gone through the publishing process one time, the next book becomes easier. Then you start improving your writing, your marketing, your systems, and your confidence. Every book teaches you something new. I love seeing that happen inside this community. @Gale Bates is already published multiple books. @Pat Terrell is writing another. @Nick Nebelsky Continues expanding his catalog. They're doing it because they learned the process and kept going, they are now in scaling mode because they see what books can quietly do for them. If your book isn't finished yet, don't quit. Keep working through the course. Ask questions. Lean on the community. Finish that manuscript. Then take the next step. That's exactly what this community is here for. If you're ready for more accountability and support, my Premium membership includes step-by-step guidance, a supportive community, weekly group coaching calls, plus direct DM and Loom access to me whenever you get stuck.

Thanks @Lesley Christine for trusting me to do the shoppable video review of your book The Game of Life and How to Play It. If anyone else currently has a published book and would like a shoppable video... For the month of July 🇺🇸, I'm running this promotion for just 💰$50 (this includes the cost of me ordering your book). The price will be going up after this month, so if you want a spotlight in the community and on Amazon, now's the time to grab your spot. A quick note on what this actually is: A shoppable video is not the same as a customer review. It won't add another review to your book. Instead, it tags a video directly to your book's description page on the desktop experience. It can also earn placements on other pages across Amazon, which means more traffic and more eyes finding their way to your book. 👉 ORDER YOUR BOOK INFLUENCER REVIEW VIDEO HERE

I have some exciting news... Today, I've completely overhauled the classroom experience. After taking a step back, I realized the old setup had become a little too cluttered and confusing, making it harder to find what you actually needed. So I went through everything and reorganized it from the ground up. ✅ Simplified the graphics so they're easier on the eyes ✅ Clearly labeled Premium and VIP content so you know exactly what's available to you ✅ Added a brand-new Book Marketing Vault dedicated to marketing workshops and strategies ✅ Consolidated other training into the Create Your First Book classroom for a more streamlined learning path Don't worry—nothing has been removed. All of the content is still here. It's simply organized in a way that should make it much easier to navigate and get results. I'd love your feedback! Take a look around the updated classroom and let me know: 👉 What's easier to find now? 👉 Is there anything that still feels confusing? 👉 What would make the experience even better for you? Your feedback helps me continue improving the community for everyone.

Lately, I've been putting more effort into making this community feel like a true community again—not just a place to consume content, but a place where people connect, share ideas, and grow together. I'd love to hear your story. What originally brought you into this community? - Did someone refer you? - Did you discover me through YouTube? - Did you find us through the Skool network? - Were you looking for help publishing your first book? - Were you searching for ways to actually sell more books? - Are you a business owner looking to use a book to build authority and create another income stream? Sure, I can see some of the analytics, but numbers don't tell the whole story. I'd rather hear it directly from you. What was the moment, video, post, recommendation, or goal that made you decide to join? Drop a comment below and introduce yourself. I'd love to learn more about what brought you here and what you're hoping to accomplish. 🚀📚

Your Amazon listing is your storefront. Small improvements to your title, subtitle, description, keywords, categories, and cover can have a significant impact on visibility and conversions. The good news? AI can help you identify weaknesses and opportunities that you might overlook on your own. Here are 3 prompts you can use today: ➡️ Prompt #1: Amazon Listing Audit Act as an Amazon KDP publishing expert, Amazon SEO specialist, and book marketing consultant. Analyze my Amazon book listing and provide detailed feedback on my title, subtitle, categories, keywords, cover design, A+ Content (if applicable), and book description. Identify weaknesses that may be limiting visibility or sales and provide specific recommendations to improve discoverability, click-through rate, and conversion rate. Book URL: [Paste URL Here] ➡️ Prompt #2: Description Conversion Optimization Act as a direct-response copywriter specializing in Amazon books. Review my book description and evaluate how well it captures attention, communicates benefits, creates emotional engagement, overcomes objections, and motivates a purchase. Rewrite the description to improve conversion rates while maintaining the original message and audience. ➡️ Prompt #3: Category & Keyword Opportunity Analysis Act as an Amazon KDP category and keyword strategist. Analyze my book and identify the most relevant categories and keyword opportunities. Recommend categories that may have lower competition while still being highly relevant to the book. Explain why each recommendation could improve visibility and ranking potential. Also provide 20 keyword phrases that potential readers may use when searching for books like mine. Book Title:[Paste Title] Book Subtitle:[Paste Subtitle] Book Description:[Paste Description] ⚠️ NOTE - Sometimes the prompts work fine other times, they will need some manual inputs. It appears sometimes AI has difficulty scraping Amazon or amazon has some limits. 💡 Remember: Publishing the book is only step one. Sometimes the difference between a book that sells a few copies per month and one that gains momentum comes down to improving the listing page that readers see before they click "Buy Now."
