💰 Hypothetical Question... If Amazon dropped a $10,000 royalty check into your bank account this month from your books, what would you do with it? Would you: 📚 Reinvest it into publishing more books? ✈️ Take a dream vacation? 💳 Pay off debt? 🏡 Put it toward a home project? 📈 Invest it for the future? 👨‍👩‍👧 Spend more time with family? One of the things I love about publishing is that every book can become a digital asset that continues working long after you've finished writing it. So tell me... What's the first thing you'd do with a $10,000 royalty check?

Sometimes it's hard to explain your book in a sentence... but what if you had to explain it with a GIF? 😆 Drop a GIF in the comments that represents what your book is about (or the book you're currently working on). Examples: ❤️ Relationship book → A couple hugging, arguing, or reconnecting 💰 Personal finance book → Money raining from the sky 🐶 Dog training book → A dog doing something hilarious 🚀 Business book → Someone launching into space 📖 Self-help book → A dramatic transformation GIF No titles. No descriptions. Just the GIF. Let's see if the community can guess what your book is about based on the GIF alone! 👀

One of the reasons I personally love self-publishing with Amazon KDP is because your book does NOT have to be perfect before you hit publish. A lot of new authors get stuck overthinking every little detail and delaying their launch because they feel like everything has to be flawless from day one. The truth is… you can always improve your book later. With Amazon KDP, you can go back in and update: - Your manuscript - Your book cover - Your listing description and keywords - Your A+ Content This means your first version does not have to be your final version. As you learn more, improve your branding, better understand your audience, or gather feedback, you can continue optimizing your book over time. The ONE thing that gets locked in on paperback publishing is your book title and subtitle, so make sure you spend extra time thinking through that part before publishing. But outside of that? Your book can evolve. Sometimes the best thing you can do is stop waiting for perfection and just get your book out into the world. You can improve it as you grow. 🚀

Are we surprised who won the leaderboard this month? I'm not shocked @Gemma Coles won AGAIN! But, the reason she won is that she was taking action, going through the lessons, preparing her book, and actually executing a book launch, so she was showing up every day! What does Gemma WIN?!? Well, since she is already a VIP member with me, I'm going to give her an extra opportunity to cash in on another 7-day PINNED post to help promote her book or future book again in the future. For those of you who would like to promote your own book in the community, I offer: - 24hr Pinned Post for $10 - One Week Pinned Post & Email $50 Also, huge shoutout to our other highly active community members this month @Lara Knutzen @Nick Nebelsky @Pat Terrell @Cristal Vancarson Thank you all for showing up and spending time here, engaging with other members. I truly appreciate all of you in making this community the amazing space that it is. 💖
