One thing that is going to help you move forward with your goals is having support. Fortunately for me I have a lovely group of local ladies who had the opportunity to meet up for dinner tonight. See if there is someone you know locally who could help be your accountability buddy. Someone you can meet up with to keep thinking about your book goals! Invite them to the group we would love to have them here. @Amanda Kreutzer @Tara Adler @Susan Wright

Huge shout out to @Pat Terrell , author of How to Be Sure of Heaven! This week I'll be working on an Amazon influencer shoppable video review of her book. Once it goes live, I'll be sharing it here in the community too. I'm also opening up this same opportunity to you. For the month of July 🇺🇸, I'm running this promotion for just 💰$50 (this includes the cost of me ordering your book). The price will be going up after this month, so if you want a spotlight in the community and on Amazon, now's the time to grab your spot. A quick note on what this actually is: A shoppable video is not the same as a customer review. It won't add another review to your book. Instead, it tags a video directly to your book's description page on the desktop experience. It can also earn placements on other pages across Amazon, which means more traffic and more eyes finding their way to your book. ORDER YOUR BOOK INFLUENCER REVIEW VIDEO HERE

One of the biggest downsides to publishing on Amazon is that you don't own the customer relationship. When someone buys your book, Amazon doesn't give you their name, email address, or any other contact information. Amazon owns the customer—you simply earn a royalty from the sale. That means someone can absolutely love your book... and you may never have a way to reach them again. That's why I always recommend having a strategy to connect with readers beyond Amazon. At the beginning of your book, introduce yourself and let readers know who you are and what they'll get from the book. Then include a QR code that leads them to the next step. That next step could be: - Your Skool community - A free resource - Your email list - Another book in the same niche - Your website or social media The goal is to turn a one-time reader into someone who becomes part of your community. One tool I really like for this is @Jeff Baer mini webpage. It's much more powerful than a QR code alone because you can introduce yourself, showcase your books, highlight your community, collect contact information, and point readers to multiple resources—all from one simple page. It's a low-friction way for readers to get to know you, whether they purchased a paperback or downloaded a free Kindle book. Don't let your relationship with your readers end at the final page of your book. Give them an easy way to stay connected—you'll build a stronger audience and create more opportunities for future book sales. 👉 Start Building Your Page Here (Below is an image of what my mini landing page looks like or you can see the full version for yourself.)

I'm connected with @Michelle Farris on Facebook and noticed today is her birthday. She is an awesome aspiring author working on her book. Let's all wish her an amazing BIRTHDAY!
