You know I get random ideas that come to mind, and I have to immediately ACT on them else they will float on by like a CLOUD. So, this idea of giving out author advice popped in my had and I had to share it instead of SAVE it.. 👇 𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗘𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗘 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘: Create a photorealistic image featuring a book in the background and an open fortune cookie in the foreground with the fortune slip clearly visible. Based on everything you know about me and my author journey, create a short, personalized fortune about where my publishing journey may be headed next. Make the message inspiring, specific to me, and short enough to realistically appear on a fortune cookie slip. Display the fortune clearly on the paper and keep the overall image polished, warm, creative, and focused on books and authorship.

So...you show up here wanting to know more about becoming a published author using Amazon's KDP, and you discover that it is not only 'possible' but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to walk through the steps. THEN... 🔥You have a brilliant idea for a coloring book and you think you are equally brilliant 🔥You do some market research and find that there is an under-served niche where you 'fit' 🔥You learn more...and produce your 50 pages via some well designed prompts that can be automated. 🔥You think you are done...(ever heard the expression, "Hold my beer?"😉) BUT WAIT!!!!!!!!! 🔥You discover that your idea might make a great 'series' of 5 printed coloring books .....You find out that there are resources to help you explore that idea...and do it. .....You bailed on your original title because the series shed light on a better one .....You now have titles and a solid outline for all 5 books (and feeling both excited and overwhelmed) .....You learned how to automate the workflow for design consistency across the series .....You learned how to generate cover art for all 5 books...and did it .....You've generated a wordmark/logo to use on each book in the series .....You are now moving through your workflow, generating and testing content AND GUESS WHAT??? 🔥You learn something new, nearly every step of the way...and that doesn't seem to stop. 🔥...and it is still...NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!! You can do this. It will be fun (they say)😁

FrancE Desrosiers 🔥 • 6m @Jeff Baer @Krista Brea @TheresaElliot well if you experience my end of the experience, you understand the dilemma buyers now face more than ever - especially online, and all the more due to the nature of the products - MOSTLY DIGITAL AND NON REFUNDABLE! Let’s face it, consumers LIVE BUYER BEWARE. Consumer protection is nonexistent and THE ALMIGHTY BUCK is the MAIN EVENT driving it all. What can we expect? ‼️‼️‼️‼️❣️INCOMING‼️‼️‼️‼️❣️ VERY FEW, like YOU (my 3), so the question isn’t WHO CAN you trust? It’s WHERE ARE THEY & how do you find them? I found you 3 here and have been around here for less than 6 months but around the guru/coach/entrepreneur thing way too long and have the proof: Broke, Disillusioned, Stuck Skool became a great alternative to FB and its flamboyant tactics to make money - with more low key, real pro but teacher based communities. But they have to survive among the BIG CORP MONEY, and it’s slowly making itself seen. AND HERE WE GO, RIGHT BACK TO MY MAIN POINT : Be as heartfelt and honest about your research & especially, experience with these relationships as you want them to be in providing what they do for you, BECAUSE the ones who can survive the changes from BIG UPSTAIRS, either have to bend some, charge some, or heaven forbid, stop providing - AND THEY ARE THE VERY ONES WE WANT, TRUST ME! I am not saying they are the only ones, but really - we do have little expectations anymore because it’s accepted RISK for everything and to most, a few hundred here and there matters little. I am NOT like that because I’ve LOST TOO MUCH & the learning that cost the most was that which the buying did NOT provide. And don’t get me started on monthly to spread out the cost - DId WE LEARN NOTHING FROM THOSE CREDIT DAYS?! Not to say it can’t be used, just that it IS another thing CONSISTENTLY ADDING UP, interest or no).
