This Wednesday I will be holding my Q&A call at 7:30pm Central time for my premium/VIP members. I understand not everyone can attend in real time, but thanks to @Marcus Hansford for highlighting this issue, I am planning to do things a little differently. Please drop your questions here ahead of the call - this way I can look into them and be able to answer as many of them as possible in the 1-hour call on Wednesday and post the replay in the classroom. If you are not yet a Premium or VIP member you can ➡️ UPGRADE HERE.

📖 If you currently have a book in progress and maybe you're also working on growing your own community, one ingredient that might be missing from your recipe for success is YouTube. People don't usually open YouTube because they're bored and mindlessly scrolling. They go there because they want to learn something, solve a problem, be entertained, or explore something new. That matters because the people finding you are often actively looking for answers. And if you're sitting there thinking, "I'll start YouTube after I publish my book..." or "I'll start after my community grows..." — no. Start now. The numbers alone make a strong case: ➡️ YouTube has over 2.5–2.7 billion monthly users worldwide ➡️ More than 122 million people use YouTube daily ➡️ People watch over 1 billion hours of content every day Unlike quick-scroll platforms where content disappears in a day or two, YouTube videos can continue showing up in search for months or even years. One video can introduce people to your book, your expertise, your community, and your offers while you're sleeping. And when it comes to communities like Skool, YouTube can become a powerful funnel because people get to know YOU first. They hear your voice, see your personality, learn from you, and build trust before ever clicking "Join." People who already know, like, and trust you often become stronger community members than someone who randomly lands on a page. Today I also want to spotlight @Des Dreckett and his community THE CONTENT REVENUE LAB, who has been an amazing partner on this journey and one of the top referrers in this community. Des teaches people how to use YouTube not only as a way to grow a business but also as an additional income stream. You do NOT need thousands of subscribers to begin. You just need to begin.

🔥You get out what you put in. I wanted to take a few minutes to recognize some community members who are taking what they’ve learned and actually putting it into motion. Results don’t happen because you join a community, buy a course, or save a post. Results happen when you take action. 📣 @Gemma Coles (my VIP client) launched her book in less than 8 weeks. She’s already seeing sales, working on gathering reviews, actively marketing her book, and she's already thinking about the next one. That's publisher thinking. @Pat Terrell followed the lessons inside Premium and used the step-by-step process to get her book published and live on Amazon. @Gale Bates started by moving her planner from only being sold on her own website over to Amazon KDP, making it easier for people around the world to buy it. Since then, she’s already moved into launching a children’s book and has plans for more. @Tara Adler joined the call last night where I was able to help with some keyword research (replay coming soon 👀). She’s actively working on multiple books at once... and no, not ideal Tara is just an overachiever 😂 @Jim Flach has some great ideas in the works and decided to start with a children’s book in his niche so he could move through the process more quickly and learn by doing. 🎉 There are many people in this community making progress, and every small step matters. Whether you're writing, researching, designing, publishing, or marketing — movement creates momentum. The people taking action are moving closer to launch goals and sales goals. The people sitting on the sidelines? Those goals stay exactly where they are. "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to become great." Drop a comment below and tell us: What is ONE thing you're working on right now? 👇

Quick community question 👇 Would you like me to start bringing back topic theme research again? Previously, I was creating bundles with 15 profitable keyword ideas focused around coloring books, but I’m curious if you’d rather see me expand into other areas too. Would you prefer: 📚 More coloring book topic bundles 🧠 Self-help keyword research 💰 Passive income/business topics ❤️ Relationships & personal growth 👶 Parenting topics ✍️ Other niches? Drop your vote in the comments and tell me what topics you'd want researched. I'll focus on creating content around what the community actually wants.

What's up this week? Well if you're a premium member in this space tonight I'm going to be doing a lesson on PUBLISHER ROCKET this is the tool that I use to help me decide if writing a book on a topic will have an opportunity to take off or not. If you want to learn more about that you can join live tonight at 7:30 central time OR catch the replay in the classroom. If you're not already a premium member, you can upgrade here.
