Let's all say congratulations to @David Diaz Sr he is a friend of mine I met at a business conference over a year ago, and spoke about him working on his book. He finally just got his book launched 🚀 As a cancer survivor, Dave wrote this supportive guide What He's Not Saying for partners of men with prostate cancer. This book reveals the unspoken emotions men often hide and offers practical ways to stay connected, provide support, and maintain intimacy. It helps couples navigate the journey together while preserving strength, closeness, and emotional balance. This book is on sale today for $15.99 ➡️ GO GET IT ON AMAZON

One of the biggest challenges most authors face isn’t writing the book… it’s getting reviews on it. And if you’ve ever tried, you already know....it’s not easy. It usually looks like: Reaching out to people one by one… Following up (multiple times)… Hoping they actually read your book… And then still ending up with little to show for it I’ve been there more times than I can count. It tests your patience REAL quick. But I will say… it does work if you stay consistent. ➡️ That said, there is an easier way. If you want to speed things up, I recommend checking out BookVillage. It’s a platform built specifically to help authors get legitimate book reviews by connecting you with real readers who are actually interested in your type of book. Instead of chasing people down, you’re putting your book in front of readers who are already there to review books. Here’s why I like it: - You get access to a network of active readers - It removes a lot of the manual outreach - It helps you build early traction faster (which Amazon loves) 🎉 TRY BOOKVILLAGE TODAY! 🚀 And right now, you can test it out with a free trial + discount, which makes it a no-brainer to at least try. If getting reviews has been slowing you down, this could save you a LOT of time and frustration. Pro Tip: Don’t rely on just one method. Use platforms like this, plus your own outreach (email list, social, community, etc.), to stack reviews faster. If you’ve struggled with reviews before, drop a comment...I want to hear what’s been the hardest part for you 👇

I want to make this community as valuable as possible for you—not just the classroom, but everything happening inside this group too. So I’d love to hear from you… What are you currently stuck on, struggling with, or wishing you had more support around that you’re NOT already getting from the classroom? It could be anything like: - Getting your book idea nailed down - Actually finishing your manuscript - Covers, formatting, or publishing steps - Keywords, categories, or getting your book seen - Marketing, ads, or generating sales - Turning your book into more income streams Or something totally different. Drop it in the comments 👇I’m reading everything...and I’ll use your feedback to shape future trainings, workshops, and support inside this community.

Let's all say congratulations to @Pat Terrell she officially became a published author this week and now has her paperback book How to Be Sure of Heaven for sale on Amazon.

As I look back on 2024, I’m incredibly proud of what I accomplished. This year, I made over $28,000 from my paperbacks and eBooks alone. That’s more than just numbers—it’s proof that the work we do as independent authors matters. But I’m not stopping here. 🚀 In 2025, I’m setting some aggressive goals to accelerate this growth. I know it won’t always be easy, but the key is staying focused, consistent, and committed. To my fellow indie authors: I want to remind you that goal setting is about more than hitting the target. It’s about striving for more, believing in yourself, and pushing beyond what feels comfortable. Even if you don’t hit your exact goal, every step forward is growth. Every word you write, every book you publish, and every effort you put into marketing gets you closer to your dreams. Don’t get discouraged if the journey feels slow or bumpy. Celebrate every win, no matter how small, and use the momentum to keep going. 2025 can be your year to shine even brighter. 🌟 Here’s to writing more, achieving more, and growing together as indie authors! Let’s make 2025 our best year yet. 💪📚 What are your big goals for 2025? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to cheer you on!
