⏳⏳⏳ I'm going to be pulling this keyword pack down at the end of next week to keep it exclusive, so if you want to grab it now, it would be a great time. Anytime I start a new book idea, I always begin with keyword research. That’s how I validate whether something actually has demand before I spend time creating it. The tool I use is Publisher Rocket.🚀 It’s definitely more of an 💰 investment, but if you plan on doing multiple books, it pays for itself quickly. That said, I know not everyone wants to invest in tools right away, so I decided to make this easier for you. 🔥 I created a pack of 15 PROFITABLE Fantasy Coloring Book Keywords These are: ✔️ Pre-researched ✔️ Opportunity-based ✔️ Ready for you to use ⏳ And I’m only keeping this available for a short time to keep it exclusive. 👉 Grab it now for just $10 If this is your first time creating a coloring book, just know the process can take way longer than expected. Coming up with ideas, trying to get AI to generate images the way you want, fixing designs, it can turn into a pretty frustrating and time-consuming process if you’re doing everything manually. That’s actually why I started testing a tool called Colorin. It simplifies the process a lot and makes it much easier to generate an entire coloring book without going one page at a time. If you’re serious about getting started, this will save you a ton of time. 👉 CHECK OUT COLORIN HERE use discount code CREATOR25 for 20% off the tool If you’ve been thinking about creating a coloring book, this is your sign to do it—but do it strategically.

💥 If you don’t have a massive following, your book title has to do the heavy lifting. On Amazon, people aren’t browsing for fun—they’re searching for solutions. That means your title needs to immediately tell the right reader, “this book is for you.” 🔥 This is exactly why I always start with keyword research and choose topics with: - Strong search demand - Lower competition Example 👇 Let’s say your keyphrase is “How to Parent Kids with Anxiety.” That phrase gets around 475 monthly searches. 👀 In this case, your title should either: - Use that exact phrase, or - Be very close to it Why? Because when your title matches what people are already typing into Amazon, the algorithm naturally knows who to show your book to. Now, this changes a bit on platforms like TikTok. People on TikTok usually aren’t there to shop. They’re there to scroll, feel something, or relate. That’s why books that perform well on TikTok often lean more emotional. For the same topic, a TikTok-friendly title might look more like: “When Your Child Worries About Everything” or “Raising an Anxious Child in an Overstimulated World” Different platforms. Different intent. Amazon = clarity and search alignment and TikTok = emotion and relatability You can blend both—but you need to be intentional. ❓Are you leaning more toward a search-based approach or an emotional appeal?

We had a flood of new members this week, so I just want to take a moment to appreciate all the new friends who have found their way into this community. 💙 💥First huge congratulations to @Fiona Emley for leveling up 🔥 and taking advantage of the book challenge course, which teaches you all the basics to self-publish your first book. What I love is that both she and her mom @Gale Bates are working on their books and inspiring each other together. When I was on Gale's podcast, I spoke about the importance of having an accountability buddy, and it's great when you and a friend or family member can work on something of your own, but also support each other. If you don't yet have an accountability buddy, you can certainly find one in this community. For all of you who are new here, please start in the 👉CLASSROOM because the mini course FUTURE AUTHOR ENERGY will help you get more clarity on your book idea. When you're ready to upgrade to more support, you can👉 UPGRADE TO PREMIUM HERE. **NOTE: For PREMIUM MEMBERS, I usually hold a weekly workshop, but we will not have one this week as I am going on a family vacation and taking the little one to ORLANDO for some much-needed sunshine and to get out of freezing weather. I have a Book Outline Workshop happening 1/28 at 7:30 Central Time.**** @Kimberly Stebbins @Lorenzo Tartamella @Sebastiano Siviero @Loretta Arey @Navjot Batti @Betty Harrison @Zuzel Casado @Wydell Conley @Kim McClendon @Olivia Nazzicone @Clara Redfern @Dragos Ciuraru @Helpy Goris @Jared R.
