As you probably know, I published the book I have been working on for the last few months this week. For me, primarily, it is not a book for earning royalties, but a guide to a part of the new economy emerging right before our eyes. In some way, it's a trial balloon to test whether there is a space for such a type of book on the market. As you can imagine, I would be happy to get feedback from the target audience, and luckily enough, the target audience is you. If you want to give your input and you have Amazon Prime for free delivery, I would be more than happy to cover the cost of the book via PayPal. Shoot me a message if you're down to it. Why don't I just publish the link? It's for the next few weeks. Today, I want to get private feedback to understand whether it was worth it.

So - Apart from Nano Banana, and ChatGPT, what are your other favorite tools for illustrations?

I wanted to share my personal experience with using a pseudonym, so far. First of all, my written work is in the non-fiction genre, so why use a fictional name? At first I launched a podcast and was planning to talk about some personal trauma history. Using a pseudonym was my way of not drawing direct attention to people from my past that I might be telling stories about. Later, when I began writing books on the same topics, I wanted to have a cohesive flow back to the podcast content. So, I decided to use the pseudonym for the books and everything downstream from that (including my skool community). More importantly is what happened as a happy accident because of this choice. I was careful to select a pseudonym that was unique back then. The result is that if someone does a google search of my author name, a very cohesive and thorough response is returned (especially when using AI search engines). This has resulted in an online presence that is not distracted by my personal history, my other business presence or any other person with a similar name. The search yields results that include my book titles, book reviews and my social platforms that compliment the books. More importantly, it highlights my authority on the subject I write about (trauma healing and personal transformation) Just thought I would share this as it might help others to gain visibility.
