AND, If you start with a Pro Community right away, I'll give you free VIP! All with no additional cost to you! @Stacee M post made my reming of this idea that a friend of mine gave me a while ago and I taught about a way to put it on skool. Finish Your Book! - A community where people give all the support for book authors to get unstuck on the process of finishing their books, being for not knowing how to finish it, lack of feedback or not knowing how to publish and promote it. - Share your ideas and get feedback on them from the community - Accountability on the hours dedicated to writing the book and the overall progress - Great potential for selling infoproducts teaching about amazon and other chanels for self publishing, printing, editing ebooks, services for designing book covers, different ways to publish and promote it. The infoproducts plus live calls can be on premium, while VIP could have 1:1 coaching sessions to help people go from stuck to published author.

This is not a gotcha hook. I have an important confession to make that I hope you'll take the time to read. A few days ago, I made a post called "Why I Don't Have A Smartphone." In it, I described all the emotional, spiritual, mental, and productivity benefits I had gained from having a flip phone for nearly four years. Those were all true statements. The deception came when I didn't provide the backstory for why I don't have a smartphone anymore. I dealt with an addiction for 25 years. I'll let you figure out what it was, but it's something a smartphone made easily accessible. My wife rightfully called me on the lack of truth in my post. And I want to apologize. And I guess I'm also wanting to bring this up because I know there is hope in recovery. I've been sober for three years from that particular behavior, and I surrender to God every day to not go back. If you're dealing with something detrimental to your mental, physical, or emotional health, know that you're not alone. If you need a friend, my DMs are open. God bless you all.

I’ve been working on a business that involves me writing books and promoting the books of others but I’m not successfully gaining awareness of my business or gaining customers. I don’t know if the problem is in presentation, the fact that I don’t have a following, or the fact that I haven’t had the finances to advertise (even tiny ads (though I think I’ve done 2 or 3 mini ads totaling about maybe $40 towards them)). Outreach, marketing, and networking have definitely been my weak points. Because of this, I haven’t truly been able to test if my business is viable (though others have been successful). I’m hoping being on Skool will help. I have to at least first get the people to me to know if it works. It’s been 8 years. Any suggestions? Should I keep going with the idea? I have a few children’s books , a novel, and a friend who has a lot of books who I promote. I’m working on other books now. I just began to build a community for this yesterday. I did get a little feedback on it already. https://www.skool.com/sunjoy-books-7017/about

Post it in the comments or send me a DM. I genuinely want to be there for you all. Feel free to roast my request if you need to hahaha.

I've had a flip phone for nearly four years, and I probably won't go back. People don't understand how I can be a marketer without a smartphone. It's not easy. I have to rely on my laptop, email, and Google Drive a lot. But you can do anything with those items. I don't have to be tethered to your phone at all times. If someone needs me, they can call or text me. I don't have to be informed about every minute movement in the world, 95% of which doesn't even apply to me. I've gotten more reading done. It's definitely helped my relationships with God, my wife, family, and friends. I feel more present. I'm not saying it's for everyone. But maybe try disabling the apps for the day and focus on the essentials. Your mind and soul will thank you. For the comments: What's something you try to do to reset yourself once a week?
