🚨 BIG UPDATE 🚨 Amazon just rolled out a new policy change for KDP… and this one is kind of wild 😳 Starting immediately, outsourcing is no longer allowed. That means: - You have to write your own manuscript - No AI tools - No ghostwriters Everything must be 100% written by YOU moving forward. Welp… looks like I’m finally going to have to sit down and start writing all my own books 😅 … .. .. … April Fools 😂 But real talk—this is exactly why learning how to build systems around your publishing (including outsourcing) is such a game-changer. It’s how you scale without burning yourself out.

Let's all party together 🚀 this community came together and helped us cross the 800 member mark for my birthday all of you friends are amazing. Thank you so much for being here. I might be away for a bit today because I am off to hit my self care appointments for the day .

If you already have a published book, I want to help get more eyes on it 👀 Inside our community, I’ve created a 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, and I’d love to feature your book there — completely FREE for members. 👉 If your book is already published (preferably on Amazon), just send me a DM and I’ll get it added. Why this matters…getting exposure is one of the hardest parts of self-publishing. While being in the directory might not instantly generate sales, it does something incredibly important behind the scenes: - Sends traffic from external sources to your book - Creates backlinks to your Amazon listing - Signals to the Amazon algorithm that your book is getting attention And those signals? They matter. 🔍 This is where my SEO background comes into play — I’m very intentional about how this directory supports your book long-term. But here’s the truth most people miss… Traffic alone won’t fix a poorly optimized book listing. If your book page isn’t set up properly, you could be leaving sales on the table. Ask yourself: 👉 Did you actually do keyword research before publishing? 👉 Are your categories strategic… or just guesses? Most people skip this step or don’t know how to do it effectively. That’s why I personally use tools like Publisher Rocket — because data matters if you want to sell. 🚀 Want Me to Optimize Your Listing For You? If you’d rather skip the learning curve and just have it done right… I’m now offering Book Listing Optimization inside the classroom for $150. Here’s what you get: - Full keyword + category research - Optimized book description rewrite - 1:1 Zoom call to walk through everything + help implement This is designed to help you turn your book into something that actually converts. ⚠️ Heads up: This price won’t stay at $150 for long.

As Skool owners and authors, getting visibility can feel like an uphill battle. You’re trying to promote yourself, your community, your books… and it’s not always easy to stand out. 👉 One of the smartest ways to do this right now? YouTube. It builds trust faster than almost any other platform. People don’t just scroll… they learn, they connect, and they start to see you as the go-to in your space. I’ve been leaning into YouTube more intentionally this year and set a goal to hit 1,500 subscribers. I started the year at 620… We’re nearing the end of Q1…And I’m currently at 1,300. That growth is real, and it’s directly impacting my skool community growth too. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 A big part of this has been staying inspired and learning from people who are doing it well. One creator I’ve been learning from is @Des Dreckett with THE CONTENT REVENUE LAB, and I wanted to share what he’s doing because it’s genuinely valuable. 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞: - It’s designed for professionals who want to turn their knowledge into income using YouTube - Small group (8–12 people), so it’s not lost in the noise - Covers everything from channel setup → content systems → monetization - Focuses on a simple but powerful approach: one problem, one solution per video - Includes live calls + recordings so you don’t miss anything 👉 ⚡ 🚀 The investment is $997, and the guarantee is strong: You either make your first $1K… or you stay in future cohorts until you do. 👏💰 👏 He monetized his own channel in under 4 weeks with less than 1,000 subscribers—no viral content, just strategy.
