Skool Owners ... If You Want Paid Members DO THIS!
The truth is, if you want more paid members in your Skool community, you need a strategy. Even when I launch books on Amazon, I don't just throw them out there and hope for the best. I have a pricing strategy, positioning strategy, and launch strategy behind it. Ever since I started working with @Mona Weathers and learning her approach to pricing offers and launching consistently inside of Skool, it has been helping me bring in more paid members to my community. One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is creating an offer based on what they want to sell instead of what their audience actually wants to buy. Studies consistently show that businesses with a strong understanding of their audience tend to see significantly stronger revenue growth because their messaging and offers connect with the right people. When you know your audience, understand their pain points, and create an offer that feels like the obvious next step, selling starts to feel much more natural. Mona is hosting a FREE workshop inside of her community on 📆 May 22nd at 2 PM Eastern Time. In less than a year, she made over $10K in a brand-new niche starting completely from scratch, and in this workshop she's breaking down exactly how she did it. ➡️ No huge audience. ➡️ No fancy funnels. ➡️ No complicated sales tactics. Just simple strategies that help move members from free to paid in a natural way. 👉 👉 👉 JOIN NEXT LEVEL GROWTH HUB

@Sybil Hall congrats Grad Congrats mum
Proof That Books Can Keep Paying You
I want to be transparent with you all. I’m not out here making millions from books. I’m just an average person on the internet with a full-time job, a busy schedule, and I’m also a mom to a 4-year-old on the spectrum. Life is full. ❤️ Since shifting a lot of my focus toward building this Skool community, that has been taking up most of my extra time outside of work and family. Because of that, I actually haven’t published a new book in over 6 months. But here’s what I think is pretty cool… the books I already published are still working for me. So far this year: 📚 Paperbacks + eBooks: $8,379+ 🎧 Audiobooks: ~$9,000+ 💰 Total: Over $17,000 in royalties this year That’s why I love publishing. You put in work upfront, create something that can help people, and over time those books can continue bringing in income while you focus on other areas of life. For the second half of this year, I’m planning to shift more energy back into publishing because it’s still my strongest income stream. I’m sharing this because I hope it encourages you. Even if you already have a full plate, you don’t need to wait for the “perfect” time to start. Your words, your experiences, and your knowledge can become assets that continue working for you long after you hit publish. ❤️ If you've already published, drop below: How has your experience been so far? 👇

@Krista Brea thank you so much for your always great information you share. I am only in the beginning and I am so motivated by creating more books by your words. 📚 The numbers with audible are amazing. In my case audible royalties are approximately 10x higher than the books. I have a lot of adjustments to make.
Did you know that books have seasonality? 📚
One thing I’ve noticed after publishing multiple books 📚 over the years is that sales often start to climb in the fall and winter months… and then soften a bit during spring and summer. And honestly, it makes sense. When the weather gets colder, people spend more time indoors, scroll online more, listen to more audiobooks during commutes, and look for ways to learn, escape, or improve themselves. Meanwhile, spring and summer tend to shift attention toward vacations, outdoor activities, family events, and just being out living life. Even major retailers plan around this behavior. The publishing industry sees strong momentum during: ➡️ Back-to-school season ➡️ Q4 holiday shopping ➡️ New Year “new me” self-improvement season That’s why it’s important not to panic if your sales dip a little during warmer months. A slower season doesn’t automatically mean your book is failing. This is actually a GREAT time to: - Build your catalog - Improve your listings - Gather reviews - Optimize your keywords - Prepare for stronger Q4 traffic later in the year Think of it like planting seeds before the busy shopping season arrives. 🌱 Now I’m curious… Have you personally noticed certain times of year where you buy or read more books? Or do your habits stay the same year-round?
