I am feeling a little sad... I almost had my flame for an WHOLE YEAR, and I lost it yesterday. I was having a long day of traveling with my son yesterday and didn't get on in time to get my activities. LIFE HAPPENS but also traveling solo with a 5 year old who constantly tests boundaries can be ALOT. I'm trying to keep up with everything so my routine is off at the moment, but I am planning to get my flame back ASAP!🩷

It's time for another VISUALIZATION PROMPT! Imagine checking your book earnings and realizing that the money you made from your books just paid for something meaningful to you. 👉 Use a photo of yourself and this prompt....Complete this sentence: “I can’t believe my book earnings just bought me __________.” Now visualize that moment. Create an inspiring, realistic image of me enjoying, holding, experiencing, or celebrating [WHAT MY BOOK EARNINGS BOUGHT ME], knowing that it was paid for entirely with money earned from my books. Show subtle signs of my success as an author, such as my book nearby, a laptop showing book sales or royalties, or a notification celebrating my earnings. Make the scene feel exciting but believable—the kind of moment where I stop and think, “My books actually paid for this.” The overall feeling should represent freedom, accomplishment, possibility, and the real-life rewards of becoming a successful author.

I FUDGED UP TACO DAY! I can't believe I forgot to post this how embarrassing!

🎥 Turn Your Book Into a Shoppable Video If you’ve ever seen a short product video directly on an Amazon listing, that’s a shoppable video—and authors can use them too. In the sample video I did a book video review for @Ciska Venter for her book FOUR DIRECTIONS OF THE HEART Watch the short explainer video below to see how they work and why they can be useful for your book.

That $50 includes me ordering your book directly from Amazon, so you don’t have to send me a copy. That purchase also gives your book an additional sale through Amazon, which can contribute another positive sales signal to Amazon’s ranking and recommendation systems. Once I receive it, I’ll create the shoppable video featuring your book. 𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 ▶️ Watch the short explainer video below to see how it works.
