We have another book feature from @Gale Bates and she just launched her adorable children's book Guava Bear. This book is about a playful, guava-loving bear living in Hawaii gets an unexpected chance at freedom when his leash breaks. Instead of staying safe, he follows his curiosity into the tropical forest, setting off on a fun, slightly mischievous adventure full of discovery. This book is on sale today for only $12.99 👉 GRAB IT ON AMAZON

It’s time to put yourself out there. Share whatever you’re working on or proud of right now. This community is full of creators, authors, and entrepreneurs, and sometimes the best thing we can do is help each other get a little more visibility. 💡 IDEAS ON WHAT YOU COULD SHARE: • Yourself and what you do • Your Skool community • A book you're writing or recently published • A project you're building • A shoutout to another member • A video, post, or resource • Affiliate links (yes, those are allowed) The goal is simple: help our members get seen. Just one request so this stays valuable for everyone. 👉 1 RULE: If you share something, please also leave a thoughtful or helpful comment on someone else’s post. Support goes both ways, and when we all participate, the whole community benefits. Now let’s see what everyone is building 👇

Today I’m celebrating @Pat Terrell for a HUGE milestone… she just completed the Premium Book Challenge and officially submitted her book for publishing! 🙌 Now she’s in that phase we all know too well… refreshing Amazon every day waiting for it to go LIVE 👀📚 (honestly one of the most exciting parts). Pat shared this in the group and it meant so much: “It was so impactful and well designed. It took me straight to completion!” This is exactly why I built the Book Challenge...to help you go from idea → DONE without getting stuck. And it gets even better… 👇As a Premium member, Pat will be getting a 24-hour pinned Book Spotlight in the community once her book goes live 🎉 If you’ve been sitting on your book idea, this is your sign. 👉 Ready to publish your first book? Level up to Premium and get the exact step-by-step system to make it happen.

If you’ve been stuck on what kind of book to create next, this is your reminder that opportunities are everywhere—you just have to know how to look for them. Here are 3 niches I found this week that have solid demand but relatively low competition: - Kitten Coloring Book for Kids - 533 monthly searches / 33 competition score / <10,000 competitors - Potty Training Sticker Chart - 689 monthly searches / 39 competition score / ~100 competitors - Bedtime Routine System- 602 monthly searches / 37 competition score / <100 competitors This is exactly why I’m always talking about validating before you create. These aren’t random ideas… they’re backed by real data. I used Publisher Rocket to find these, and it’s one of the most valuable tools you can have as a self-publisher. It helps you uncover keywords people are already searching for—so you’re not guessing, you’re positioning. The goal isn’t just to create a book… It’s to create a book that has a chance to actually sell. 👉 Start paying attention to keywords that: - You’re interested in - Align with content you’d enjoy creating - Have demand but manageable competition That’s where the magic happens. Curious… which one of these niches would you explore first? 👇
