@Janet Wilson thanks :-) so pleased you are starting your publishing journey!
1 Book Chapter = Weeks of Content (here's how)
What if I told you that one chapter of your book could keep your content calendar full for weeks? No extra writing. No burning yourself out. Just using what you already have — smarter. That's exactly what this month's collaboration is all about. I'm teaming up with @Stacey Watts who is the BEST person to learn content repurposing from. You should absolutely check out her community THE CONTENT SHIFT where she consistently shares prompts and strategies that help you break out of that content rut — and her approach to repurposing is unlike anything I've seen. Practical, creative, and built for busy people like us. Here are some content ideas to think about... - Your back-of-book description can become multiple ready-to-post social captions - One bullet point from your book can turn into a 30-second Reel or Short - A single chapter can be transformed into a full week of short scripts with AI Your book is a content goldmine. Let's actually use it that way. Whether you're stuck on what to post, or just tired of content creation taking over your life this one's for you. 📅 Don't Miss this FREE EVENT April 7th 4pm CST CHECK THE EVENT ON THE CALENDAR NOW

Accountability Time ⏰
We could all use a little accountability - Including myself ❤️ Read the questions then grab the template at the bottom and make a post 🗒️ 1️⃣ What is **one specific thing** you completed on your book this week? Examples: * Finalized my book topic * Chose my main keyword + category * Wrote 1,200 words * Edited Chapter 1 * Uploaded my manuscript draft 2️⃣ What is the one thing you can commit to finishing by next week? Examples: * Write 2 chapters * Finish book outline * Draft my book description * Collect 10 competitor book screenshots 3️⃣ One blocker - What slowed you down or got in your way this week? This gives you: * Content ideas * Coaching opportunities * Workshop themes * DM conversations for higher-level support 4️⃣ Where are you at right now? 🔥 On track 🟡 Progress but slow 🔴 Stuck 🧠 Overthinking ⏸️ Life happened Drop your update below 👇 (Keep it short — progress > perfection) 1️⃣ **One thing you completed this week:** 2️⃣ **One thing you’re committing to finish next week:** 3️⃣ **Any blocker slowing you down? (optional)** 4️⃣ **Status emoji:** 🔥 🟡 🔴 🧠 ⏸️ I’ll be reviewing these to and helping to move you forward!

Upselling Your Readers to Your Community
I dropped a new video today and honestly… this is something I wish I implemented WAY sooner. If you’re publishing books and not giving readers a way to actually find you after they finish reading… you’re leaving a massive opportunity on the table. For the longest time, I wasn’t doing this either. And the reality is—Amazon doesn’t give you your customer data. You don’t get emails. You don’t get direct access. So if someone loves your book… it kind of just ends there. That’s the problem. But here’s the shift 👇 You need to guide your readers OUT of your book and into your world. The easiest way? A QR code inside your book. When someone scans it, it should take them somewhere intentional—not just a random link—but a page that actually introduces YOU, your offers, and where they can go deeper. That’s where a microsite comes in. Here's what mine looks like - https://ez.to/kbrea I recently set one up and I’m already seeing people land on it from my socials and move into my community. It’s simple, but it works. My friend @Jeff Baer helps set these up 1:1—custom branded, your offers, your links, your Skool community—all in one place when you have an annual pro plan. And the best part is you can update it anytime. JOIN BIO BUILDERS AND GET YOUR OWN MICROSITE! If you’re planning to build a series or grow your author brand… this is not optional. This is how you turn readers into actual connections (and customers). 👉 Watch the video I dropped today to see exactly how I’m using it And if you don’t have your Skool community set up yet, this is your sign. You can get started for as low as $9/month, and I’m giving a bonus to anyone who uses my referral link to get started: START YOUR OWN SKOOL COMMUNITY Let me know in the comments—are you currently linking your readers anywhere inside your books? 👀
