Day 9 - Keep Pinning 🙌
📌 Keep Going — Your Pins Are Adding Up! If you’ve been participating in the 100 Pins Challenge, don’t lose that momentum now! Remember, every pin you create is another opportunity for someone to discover your book, visit your page, and become a reader. You may not see huge results from every single pin—and that’s okay. The goal is to keep showing up and give Pinterest more opportunities to put your content in front of the right people. Today, create your pins, post them, and share them in the comments so we can support each other! 💗 You’re building visibility one pin at a time. KEEP GOING! 📌

Quick Pinterest Challenge note: First, if I like a post where someone has shared pin links, please know that I have also gone over to Pinterest and liked the pins themselves. I am naturally verbose, so I’m treating the Skool “like” as my shortcut for: “I visited, supported, and did not write another paragraph.” Lol. Second, I want to say that I’m learning a lot from those of you who are creating multiple pins around one book. I’ve been using my larger catalog to complete the daily assignments, which has been useful for me. But seeing how others build several pins from one title is giving me ideas for what I may want to do after the challenge is complete. That may become one of the most valuable parts of this process: not just finishing the daily pins, but learning different ways to think about book discovery.

@Krista Brea There is an almost hidden option at the bottom of every data entry form: More options Allow people to comment Show similar products People can shop products similar to what's shown in this Pin using visual search Shopping recommendations aren’t available for Idea ads and Pins with tagged products or paid partnership label Alt Text This helps people using screen readers understand what your Pin is about
Video Sells Your Book 📚
🎥 Why is video so powerful for selling books? Because video gives someone more than a book cover and description — it gives them a reason to stop, pay attention, and get interested. And you don’t even have to be the one on camera. A book review video can: - Show the physical book in action - Highlight what makes the book worth reading - Give potential buyers a trusted perspective Think about how much more convincing it is to see someone holding your book and talking about why they enjoyed it versus simply seeing another promotional graphic. That’s exactly why I offer book review videos for authors — to help you turn your book into content that can actually grab attention and help drive sales. Sometimes people need to see your book before they decide they want to read it. 📚 Check out this Shoppable Video I did for @Coach Kiki Kealah Parkinson it helps highlight what her book My Moody Daybook If you are looking to get a shoppable video review for your own book, place your order here. As an Amazon influencer, I can make a video showcasing your book for $50, which includes ordering your book off Amazon!

@Krista Brea This makes a lot of sense. As a “person of letters” and someone who is audio-challenged, I admit video has not always been my natural comfort zone. But I keep seeing authors and publishers talk about how effective video can be, and I can understand why. A video review does something a static graphic usually cannot do: it makes the book feel real. Seeing someone hold the book, turn the pages, talk about the content, and explain who it may help gives potential readers more confidence than a cover image alone. I especially like this for books where the interior experience matters — journals, workbooks, devotionals, children’s books, study guides, and practical nonfiction. In those cases, readers often want to understand what the book feels like before they buy it. Sometimes the next step is not just telling people the book exists, but helping them see why it may belong in their hands.

🎉❤️ Congratulations, Krista! Top 50 in Tech is a wonderful milestone. The energy in this community has been remarkable lately — real questions, practical help, creative experiments, and members cheering each other on. Top 25 sounds like a worthy next mountain. :-)
FLUFFIFY YOUR CHARACTERS!
Make sure to upload your image first! 🧸 Fluffy 3D Character Transformation Prompt Transform the character in the reference image into a soft, whimsical 3D collectible character with an ultra-fluffy, plush-like texture and hyperrealistic fine fur. Preserve the character’s original identity, distinctive features, colors, proportions, facial characteristics, and recognizable silhouette. Do not redesign the character. Cover the character’s body with incredibly soft, fine, tactile fur. The fur should have realistic individual strands, subtle variation in length and direction, and naturally fuzzy edges. If the character has distinctive colored areas, markings, clothing, accessories, or features, preserve them while translating their surfaces into a soft, premium plush-like material. Give the character a rounded, charming, high-end 3D collectible-toy appearance while maintaining the original anatomy and personality. Keep the character immediately recognizable as the same character from the reference. Place the character standing alone and centered in a minimalist studio environment. Use a clean light-gray, warm-white, or soft neutral background with generous negative space. Soft professional studio lighting creates gentle shadows underneath and around the character. Style: premium designer collectible, tactile fluffy texture, photorealistic individual fur strands, polished 3D character render, soft volumetric lighting, subtle depth of field, high detail, cinematic product photography, adorable and whimsical, high resolution. Important: No text, no logos, no watermark, no additional characters, no props, no busy background. Preserve the original character’s identity above all else.

@Jeff Baer Your friend is right. The trouble is, most customers still want all three and assume arithmetic is negotiable. 😂

Day 8: The 100 Pin Challenge
Today we’re keeping it simple: Create 3 new pins! But I also want you to experiment with using AI to come up with new pin ideas. Try this prompt: “Using my book cover as inspiration, create a traditional Pinterest pin (1000 × 1500 px, 2:3 ratio) that helps my ideal reader solve a problem they’re struggling with right now. Use a strong, curiosity-driven headline and minimal text that is large and easy to read on a phone. Make the design visually engaging, relevant to my book and audience, and incorporate my book naturally into the pin.” Once you’ve created your 3 pins, share them in the comments so we can support each other with some engagement. 💗 Small actions + consistency = more visibility over time. Let’s keep going! 📌 #100pins
Day 8: The 100 Pin Challenge

Day 8 update: Krista’s 100 Pin Challenge gave me exactly the kind of useful social pressure I needed. :-) I have been meaning to begin creating a Pinterest path for AuthorsPayAuthors, but “meaning to” does not create pins. Today’s assignment pushed me to create the first three pins and begin turning the project into something visible. These three pins focus on a problem many authors face: building a clearer path between their books, platforms, tools, and readers. The lesson for me today: Social pressure is useful when it turns intention into evidence. It also can create missteps. Today's challenge pins are done but on hold. :-) Here are four other pins: Big Ben, Buses, and Barking Clues | London Barks https://www.pinterest.com/pin/701857923221299302/ Biscuits, Vests, and Squeaky Heists | London Barks https://www.pinterest.com/pin/701857923221296311/ Cherry Blossoms and Secret Clues | D.C. Doggie Diplomacy https://www.pinterest.com/pin/701857923221296348/ Flamingos, Sunshine, and Secrets | Floridian Frolics https://www.pinterest.com/pin/701857923221299387/
