What if you could create short videos that attract readers, generate interest in your books, and potentially drive more sales... without ever stepping in front of a camera? Believe it or not, some self-publishers are doing exactly that! And you don't need to be a professional video editor or spend hours creating content. In my newest YouTube video, I'm sharing: 🔥 3 things that can make your book marketing videos more effective (and why views alone don't necessarily mean sales). 📱 Why faceless videos are such an opportunity for authors, especially if you're not comfortable being on camera. TRY SONDER FOR FACELESS VIRAL VIDEO BOOK MARKETING

⚠️ I am thinking about locking this group down to PAID because I keep seeing the same kind of scam happen over and over again. People enter the community posing as high profile authors to try to gain your trust and win your business. As you can see 3 different accounts i've had to ban over time from scammers / spammers trying to sneak in and take advantage of this community. How do they get in? Most of the time when they apply to join they have the HIGH RISK flagged to them and I immediately DENY, but they are getting smarter to the spam and catching on. They apply under the name of SOMEONE ELSE then once they get in they update their display name to show whatever author they are trying to impersonate. ➡️ Do you think a paywall would be the right solution to avoid this? ⁉️ What do you think would be a fair rate to access the community for new members? **No changes are happening right now but I've been thinking a lot about this recently to better protect the community and my SANITY. 😆

Lately, I've been putting more effort into making this community feel like a true community again—not just a place to consume content, but a place where people connect, share ideas, and grow together. I'd love to hear your story. What originally brought you into this community? - Did someone refer you? - Did you discover me through YouTube? - Did you find us through the Skool network? - Were you looking for help publishing your first book? - Were you searching for ways to actually sell more books? - Are you a business owner looking to use a book to build authority and create another income stream? Sure, I can see some of the analytics, but numbers don't tell the whole story. I'd rather hear it directly from you. What was the moment, video, post, recommendation, or goal that made you decide to join? Drop a comment below and introduce yourself. I'd love to learn more about what brought you here and what you're hoping to accomplish. 🚀📚
