@Krista Brea I’m ready to start laying out my book… are there instructions in the classroom somewhere on how to do that and what sizes to fit to and what format to upload in etc? TY!

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.

📖 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.

We could all use a little accountability - Including myself ❤️ Read the questions then grab the template at the bottom and make a post 🗒️ 1️⃣ What is **one specific thing** you completed on your book this week?
