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

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? 👀

First I am going to give credit to where credit is due. @Nick Nebelsky and @Manda Jackson have been the inspiration for the foundation of the barbie in a box prompts. I have just manipulated the prompt to make myself into a doll that is a BEST SELLING AUTHOR. (Sorry GUYS this probably won't end up well for you) ➡️ If you too want to become a Barbie in a box, BEST SELLER here was my prompt. *PRO TIP* Edit the prompt to your own taglines and color schemes for best outputs! Create a highly realistic retail toy doll based on the uploaded person’s face. The doll should clearly resemble the person in the reference image, preserving their facial features, skin tone, and hairstyle, adapted into a realistic vinyl fashion doll (smooth skin, slightly simplified features, glossy eyes). Theme: “Best Selling Author" Outfit: Female option: Fuchsia Pink jumpsuit with a bow tied at the waist. A dainty gold necklace with a heart. An apple watch with a hot pink band. Packaging Design: A realistic toy store box with a clear plastic window. Brand Name (top of box): “Bestselling Author 2026” Character Name (large text on front): Krista Tagline (under the name): “Bestselling Amazon Author” Side Panel Text: “Krista Brea is a bestselling author with over 12 self-published books on Amazon. She has generated six figures in royalties—while building her publishing business part-time.” Feature Highlights (front or side): Bestselling Author Limited Edition Handcrafted Accessories Collector’s Edition Ages 6+ Bottom Details: Barcode, small safety icons, and fine print text like a real toy package. Background Insert (inside box): Stage event with a stack of books on a table. Composition: Front-facing, centered product shot showing the full boxed doll, like it’s displayed on a store shelf. Lighting: Soft commercial studio lighting with subtle reflections on the plastic window. Style: Ultra-realistic product photography — must look like a real toy sold in stores. Color Palette: Pink, Black, White, Neutrals Details: Sharp focus, visible plastic reflections, realistic packaging materials, fabric texture, molded accessory compartments, slight gloss on doll face and hair. Important Instruction: Use the uploaded image strictly as the facial reference for the doll. Maintain likeness while translating into a realistic toy form. Optional Negative Prompt: cartoon, illustration, blurry, distorted face, poor likeness, messy packaging, modern clothing, fantasy elements, extra limbs, text errors, unrealistic materials
