I entered a contest this weekend that ran on Bluesky, X, Insta and Threads. It was by #posterpit and the gist is that we could do three posts in a 24 hour period promoting our upcoming work like a movie poster. There were some great designs out there, I recommend searching the hashtag and having a look. I will post the ones I did on here, although they were pretty amateur and honestly, since my actual finished book is coming out soon, I didn't spend a ton of time on them. It was fun to think of my work in that format though and I am inspired to finish the editing and share these with the world soon!

If you missed this session… with Jenni Robbins, this one was BIG. We dug deep into how to turn a book into long-term impact, income, and influence — not just a launch-day moment. Here are just a few of the 🔥 highlights: 🎯 The 3 Pillars of Long-Term Author Success: Positioning. Business Model. Ecosystem. (Miss one, and your book may never reach its full potential.) 📖 Why publishing your book is NOT the finish line — it’s Day One. The real question isn’t “How do I launch?”It’s “What happens after the book exists?” 💼 The B2C vs. B2B Reality Check: Selling to individuals often requires volume. Selling to organizations can mean fewer deals, bigger impact and higher revenue. 🧠 The mindset shift many mission-driven authors struggle with: Making money from your message doesn’t dilute your mission —it expands your reach. 🧩 How to design your Author Ecosystem: Your book isn’t the whole business —it’s the entry point to speaking, programs, consulting, and community. 🚪 A powerful strategy most authors overlook: Choosing endorsements strategically to open doors —not just decorate the back cover. 🧭 Why clarity about your NEXT step matters more than having the whole plan. Progress happens when you identify the next move — not all 100 moves. 📝 The “Parking Lot” strategy for big thinkers: Capture your ideas without letting them derail your focus. ⚖️ The truth about writing and publishing: This work requires both heart and business strategy — not one or the other. 🔑 The universal truth every author needs to hear: No one will care more about your message than you —and your long-term success depends on that commitment. 🎥 Want the Full Training + Coaching Moments?
