Have anyone tried converting their book cover from ebook to paperback, hardback, acx using AI? If so, what tool did you use? And what was the result?

In Neal Mohan’s 2026 CEO letter, YouTube says it is “focused on frictionless commerce” and that viewers will be able to purchase creator‑recommended products without ever leaving the YouTube app. When a creator talks about or recommends a product in a video or Short, YouTube plans to show an in‑app buy option so the entire checkout happens inside YouTube instead of opening a separate store site. YouTube will use AI product tagging and other shopping tools to detect products in videos and attach shoppable links, turning more videos into instant storefronts and giving creators ongoing sales from their back catalog. Fully seamless “never leave the app” buying experience is scheduled to expand broadly through 2026. I think it can be a much bigger deal than TikTok shops, since the YouTube audience is more inclined to buy real books. Your thoughts?

I am running ads on KDP but wanted to explore FB ads. I saw on youtube that facebook Ads can be a cheaper option than KDP and also a way to bring in external traffic which can boost reviews as well. I'd love to hear thoughts from the community on this. Did you try it and how did it work out for you?

With the A10 Algo, what methods have members of this group tried? What was the progress/outcome?
