Starting a Book Is Easy. Finishing One Is the Hard Part.
Getting a book to the finish line is hard.A lot of people start strong… then stall, get stuck, or quietly abandon the project altogether. I’ve seen it happen over and over again. Honestly, I know for a fact I would have failed at self-publishing if I didn’t have accountability early on. Having someone to check in with, motivate me, and help push me forward is what got me across the finish line. And when you do finish your first book? It feels SO good. Pride. Relief. Confidence. Proof that you can actually follow through. You deserve that feeling of completion. So first—if you haven’t already—find yourself an accountability buddy. Pair up with someone in this community who’s at a similar stage. Tag-team this. Don’t do it alone. Now, for those of you who want more support…I have a big announcement coming soon... I’m working on something that would let me support you more closely—keeping you accountable and walking you through the entire process step by step. No more getting stuck wondering what to do next. The goal is simple: get your book finished, published, and positioned to sell. If you’re serious about getting this done and would want that level of guidance, drop a comment below. I’m shaping what this could look like, and I’d love to hear how I could best support you on your book journey.

i have no idea what support i'd need - i'd need to commit, thats the main thing - so knowing a few months in advance and blocking out the time - after 3pm i don't have anything in my calendar so thats the best time to commit but the reason i dont put anything in my calendar is so i can have time to do what i feel like, and be disciplined in the monring. But that is the time I ususally read or write, because that is what i want to do
Noticing The Patterns of This Community
I’ve been paying attention to the patterns in the ⭐ FREE community... Most of you don’t lack motivation. You don’t lack ideas. You don’t even lack effort. What I keep seeing is this: People get excited → start learning → then stall. People come into a free community, start engagement, but then disappear. You’re trying to: • choose the right topic • figure out what actually sells • understand the steps without overthinking • avoid wasting time on the wrong book And when those pieces aren’t clear, progress slows down fast. This is completely normal, especially at the beginning. I’ve been working on a way to make this part simpler and more structured for people who want that kind of clarity. I’ll share more tomorrow. 👉For now, I’m curious — What part of the process feels the most confusing right now? Topic? Writing? Knowing the next step?

Oh, mirror, hi me! I think it's "is this the best use of my time". I'm very much an all or nothing person so I don't like to just do an hour a day but I'm thinking it's time to change that. I've always wanted to do this, even if it's not my "main" book I want to write. Just using the process you laid out to go through it. Ok adding this to my weekly schedule!

@Nigel Taylor best way!
🎬 Books Turned Into Movies
Books becoming movies always sparks opinions—sometimes the book is better, sometimes the movie hits harder, and sometimes they’re just… different. Does a book-to-movie adaptation ever influence you to buy the book?Or do you usually watch the movie first and skip the reading altogether? 👇 Let’s turn this into a fun thread: Drop your favorites below - A book you read before it became a movie - OR a movie you loved and later found out it was a book first - Tell us if you read the book, watched the movie, or both ⚠️ Important rule so this stays organized: 👉 One comment per book → movie recommendation 👉 Add a GIF that matches the book or movie This way we end up with a clean, scrollable list of recommendations everyone can save. Can’t wait to see what shows up 🍿📚

I never read fiction and I work in film...so yeh for me it's always film. Oh no wait I just remembered I did listen to Harry Potter. Audible. Of course after the films...but still prefer film. It's who I am. I don't think I'd ever prefer a book version
$28k in from Audio 🎧 in 2025
People love listening to books! 📖 In 2025, this screen tells a simple story: 8,017 audiobook purchases. Audiobooks aren’t priced by you—they’re priced by length. Most of mine average about $3.50 per sale, which puts me right around $28,000 from audiobooks alone last year. This is why I love Amazon KDP. One book isn’t one income stream. When it’s positioned correctly, the same content can earn across multiple formats (ebook, paperback, hardcover, audio) and multiple marketplaces—without creating something new every time. The numbers are climbing and i'm ready to continue to GROW in 2026! Are you ready to grow with me? One day it would be amazing to get $100k annually just from audio, and the truth is I know it is doable I just have to stack more books and repeat the process.

I love this. It's so inspiring
Think About The Goal Of Your Book
A book isn’t just something you publish once and hope people buy. It’s a digital asset. I’ve used books to generate over $100K in passive income through Amazon, but that’s only one way to use them. A book can also elevate your business, increase your authority, and instantly boost your credibility. I’ve seen so many coaches do this well—using a low-cost book as a lead generator that naturally moves readers into higher-ticket offers, programs, or 1:1 work. The mistake I see most people make is jumping straight to “what should I write about?” without getting clear on why they’re publishing in the first place. When you know your goal and purpose, you can be strategic from the start: - Is this book meant to generate passive income? - Is it meant to attract ideal clients? - Is it meant to warm up leads before a higher-ticket offer? - Is it meant to position you as the expert in your niche? The goal you choose shapes everything—your topic, format, length, pricing, and how you market it. So before you think about chapters or titles, start here 👇What do you want a book to do for you?
