If the answer is no, you are leaving readers and revenue on the table. And that is exactly what our next live guest workshop is going to fix.

I asked our community which topic they would like to see at our next Author's Brew - and hands down this topic won. Our members wanted to know how they could use their book content to create additional content for YouTube, blogs, and their podcast. Today, @Tina Weaver , @Joanna Kasner , and I discussed ten different ways you can utilize your book content into marketing material, your author book club, and several other creative ways to use your current book content (even if you haven't published your book yet) to promote your book or to create an additional revenue source such as a playbook or course. We also talked about how to use AI as an ideator for your book - but not to write your book. Watch and find out what we discussed, and, if you like what you see, make sure to join our Premium membership on the About page to have access to our weekly Author's Brew coffee chat! 📖 The Author's Brew happens every Thursday at 11 am PST, and we would love to see you there! This is your weekly gathering place to ask your writing and publishing questions and get real answers in real time.
