💰 Hypothetical Question... If Amazon dropped a $10,000 royalty check into your bank account this month from your books, what would you do with it? Would you: 📚 Reinvest it into publishing more books? ✈️ Take a dream vacation? 💳 Pay off debt? 🏡 Put it toward a home project? 📈 Invest it for the future? 👨‍👩‍👧 Spend more time with family? One of the things I love about publishing is that every book can become a digital asset that continues working long after you've finished writing it. So tell me... What's the first thing you'd do with a $10,000 royalty check?

I've been getting back into creating more YouTube content lately, and one topic I want to talk more about is why I think every author should seriously consider building a Skool community. One of the biggest advantages is how simple it is. ✅ Collect email addresses from members ✅ Send emails when you publish new posts ✅ Host live calls without needing Zoom ✅ Create free and paid membership options ✅ Build relationships with readers and customers in one place ✅ Get started for as little as $9/month on the Hobby plan For authors, this can become much more than just a community. It can be a place where readers connect with you, ask questions, get behind-the-scenes updates, join book launches, and eventually work with you more closely through courses, coaching, or memberships. Another thing I like is that Skool is actively promoting communities through its discovery platform, which can help new people find your group organically. If you haven't started your own community yet, I think it's worth looking into. START CREATING YOUR OWN COMMUNITY TODAY I'm curious... What other benefits do you think authors can gain from having a Skool community? Drop your thoughts below 👇 I'm collecting ideas for an upcoming YouTube video and would love to hear your perspective.
