I see these come up ALL the time, and honestly, they’re the reason so many people never get started (or quit too early). Let’s clear a few things up 👇 1. “You need to be a good writer to publish a book” - Nope. There are so many types of books you can create...journals, coloring books, workbooks—and even if you do want to write, you can use AI to support the process. The real skill is choosing the right topic… not being a perfect writer. 2. “Amazon is too saturated” - Amazon is busy because people are BUYING. The issue isn’t saturation—it’s going after the wrong keywords. When you learn how to find gaps in the market, you’ll see there’s still a lot of opportunity. 3. “You need ads to make sales.” Ads are optional, not required. If your book is positioned well with the right keywords, title, and categories, it can sell organically. Ads just help you scale faster once you already have a solid foundation. 4. “You only make money from book sales”...Your book is just the beginning. It can lead to coaching, courses, communities, speaking opportunities, and more. That $15 book can turn into much bigger opportunities if you set it up the right way. 5. “You need to publish a lot of books to make money” It’s not about volume—it’s about strategy. One well-positioned book can outperform dozens of random ones. Focus on quality, research, and positioning first. If you’ve been holding back because of any of these… consider this your sign to move forward. Which one surprised you the most? 👇

You’ve probably heard me talk about Publisher Rocket a lot lately… and my DMs are starting to reflect that 👀 So I decided to put together a quick tutorial walking you through exactly how I use it to find profitable book ideas. 🎥 In this short video, I break down: How I do keyword research, how I validate a topic before I ever start writing, and how I analyze competing books (reviews + estimated earnings) to see if there’s a real opportunity When you know how to use this tool the right way… it’s a goldmine. 💰 If you’re ready to invest in it, I highly recommend grabbing 👉 Publisher Rocket here But if you’re not ready to learn a new tool or spend money on software yet, I get it. That’s exactly why I started creating mini keyword packs for you. I’ve already done the research and pulled together book ideas that are easier to break into and have strong earning potential. 🔥 This week’s drop: 15 Sports-Themed Coloring Book Ideas You can grab it for just $10, but it’s only available until the end of the month ... then it’s gone. If you’ve been thinking about creating a coloring book… this is your shortcut.

I’m going to be real with you for a second because I messed up… and it cost me money. This month alone, I likely missed out on an extra $64–$128+ in royalties. If I really sat down and calculated this over the past year… yeah, we’re not doing that math today 😅 But here’s what happened...and more importantly, what you can learn from it. When I launch a new book, I usually price my ebook low (around $2.99) to get early traction. The goal is to drive initial sales, build momentum, and help the algorithm start picking it up. That part? Solid strategy. The problem is… I never went back and updated the pricing on a bunch of my books. And that’s where I dropped the ball. My usual pricing strategy is to bump ebooks up to $4.99–$5.99 after the launch phase. Not only does that increase royalties per sale, but it also helps position the paperback as the better value, which is where I like to drive most of my revenue. But I had multiple books just sitting there… still priced at $2.99… while continuing to get consistent ebook sales. So every single one of those sales? I was leaving $1–$2 on the table. That adds up FAST. Today, I finally paused, reviewed my numbers, and caught it. I went back through my catalog and updated my pricing across the board. Lesson learned. 👉 Don’t just focus on launching your books—manage them like assets. 👉 Set a reminder to revisit your pricing after your promo period ends. 👉 Small tweaks like this can quietly increase your income without creating anything new. Mistakes happen. But if you’re paying attention, they turn into opportunities. Go check your pricing… you might find some hidden money sitting there 👀
