⚠️ I am thinking about locking this group down to PAID because I keep seeing the same kind of scam happen over and over again. People enter the community posing as high profile authors to try to gain your trust and win your business. As you can see 3 different accounts i've had to ban over time from scammers / spammers trying to sneak in and take advantage of this community. How do they get in? Most of the time when they apply to join they have the HIGH RISK flagged to them and I immediately DENY, but they are getting smarter to the spam and catching on. They apply under the name of SOMEONE ELSE then once they get in they update their display name to show whatever author they are trying to impersonate. ➡️ Do you think a paywall would be the right solution to avoid this? ⁉️ What do you think would be a fair rate to access the community for new members? **No changes are happening right now but I've been thinking a lot about this recently to better protect the community and my SANITY. 😆

I know these ads are connected to our behavior on Skool somehow but it's still fun to see my own and other communities I love in the Skool Meta ads. Congrats @Krista Brea ! 🥳

This week i'm highlighting @Andrew Brooks heart-melting children’s book: The Splendid Tale of Figerly Bunny 💗 If you’re looking for a story that sparks imagination and feels genuinely meaningful, this one is such a beautiful pick—especially for little ones who love ballet, fairytales, and a little bit of magic. Figerly Bunny is a joyful little dancer who twirls through life with big dreams… until one magical moment turns everything into an unforgettable adventure. It’s the kind of story that feels cozy, dreamy, and perfect for winding down at bedtime. What makes this one extra special? It was inspired by the author’s daughter and her real stuffed bunny 🥹, which just adds another layer of heart to the story. ✨ Why this is worth checking out: - Perfect for kids ages 4–8 (especially little dancers 💃) - Encourages imagination, gratitude, and self-expression - Great bedtime story that parents will actually enjoy reading too It's on sale for $11.99 GET IT NOW ON AMAZON If you love supporting fellow authors, this is a great one to grab or share with your audience 💛 Let’s show this author some love this week!

🖍️ Did you know that coloring books are one of the easiest ways to tap into passive income with self-publishing? I shared a video on my socials today, and honestly… seeing some of these coloring books generating over $200K/month is wild. Not typical, of course—but it shows what’s possible when you pick the right niche. That’s exactly why I’ve been talking about this so much lately 👀 I created a list of 15 Profitable Sports Coloring Book Keywords (based on real research), and it’s currently available in the classroom for just $10—but I’m pulling it down at the end of this month. So if you’ve been thinking about getting started, this is your window. Next month I’ll be dropping a brand new list, but if you want a simple, low-barrier way to jump into publishing with a niche that actually has opportunity… I’ve already done the heavy lifting for you. And if you’re wondering how to actually create these books without spending hours designing… 👉 I highly recommend Colorin.ai It’s fast, easy to use, and produces really clean, high-quality images. This is one of those opportunities where you don’t need to overcomplicate it—just start simple and take action 💡
