🚦 START YOUR ENGINES: ONE-LINERS ONLY!
First, last weekend’s winner is @Lisa Drennon, pulling into first place yet again! Will someone finally give the woman behind 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 a run for her money? 😏💰 🔴🟡🟢 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘂𝗽!!! 🟢🟡🔴 Instead of reviewing every graphic, offer, About Page, CTA, and kitchen sink that rolls through, each weekend will focus on 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜. This weekend, we’re getting back to the original foundation of Red Light, Green Light: 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗡𝗘-𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥 Think of it as your hook, your elevator pitch, or the one, maybe two, quick lines that get your foot in the door with a prospective client. If someone reads it, will they understand what you offer and want to click to learn more? 🏁 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦 Share one one-liner for review. No explanation. No link. Let’s see whether your words can do the work. You may submit as many one-liners as you’d like, but post each one as its own separate comment. Each one-liner must earn its own two green lights before you add its link. Then it’s… 3️⃣ 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 Give useful feedback to at least three other players: 🔴 RED: I’m confused or wouldn’t click yet. 🟡 YELLOW: I’m interested, but something is missing. 🟢 GREEN: I understand what you offer, and if I were in the market for it, I would click to learn more. A green light is feedback on the clarity of the offer—not an invitation to pitch the person who gave it. Helping three other players is the minimum required to play. But stick around and join the race! The more genuinely helpful feedback you give, the better your chance of winning. 2️⃣ 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡𝗦 Receive green lights from two different community members. 1️⃣ 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 Only after receiving two green lights from two different members, edit your original submission. Keep your original one-liner so we can see where you started, then add: 🟢🟢 FINAL VERSION: [Your final one-liner] & your 🔗 LINK [One direct link to the business or offer your one-liner describes]

Update! I help writers turn their first drafts into stronger, more polished books through professional editing, personalized mentoring, and one-on-one guidance.

@Lauren Kinghorn Thank you. And…not all of my writers are interested in that. (Publishing) The core focus in all is the desire to be a better writer.
Weekend Inspiration for Us All
"We tend to overcomplicate things. We tend to worry about things that haven’t happened yet. We routinely think we are not good enough, not talented enough, or lacking in some special confidence that everyone has but us. Well, the answer to all of this noise is simply getting in motion when making your art. Even 20 minutes will relax you. The reason is because when you make art, you are no longer thinking hypothetically but genuinely experiencing. You feel present and oddly content. Today’s post is a reminder to start your art again." Nicholas Wilton. I came across his videos recently and am enjoying poking around. He has tons of experience, a nice soft approach, and is a bit of an inspiration as far as how being creative is good for us all. That said, if you'd do well with a low-friction creative group to encourage you to be more creative, whatever that means to you, join us at https://www.skool.com/explore-create-share-8023 !

Rebranded: thoughts?
I’ve been working with a marketer that I really like. He listens, understands my style and goals. We’ve gone back and forth a bit but now have a new cover image and About page and description. Can you take a look? Any feedback? It’s for my writing services: Finish Your Book.

@Roberto Srpak I’m always open! I love learning.
Describe What You Sell, Badly 🙃
Tuesday game. Describe what you sell, or what your community does, in the worst way possible. Technically accurate. Just terrible. I'll start. I run an online club where grown adults practise talking to each other so strangers will give them money. Drop yours below, then have a go at guessing what someone else actually does.

@Lisa Drennon brilliant- good for you. I work with writers’ early drafts.
🚦 RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT — LET’S SEE WHAT YOU’VE GOT!
Drop whatever you’re working on below: your one-liner, graphic, CTA, About Page, offer, sales copy… whatever could use a few fresh eyeballs. Then scoot through the comments and help a few other people with theirs. 🔴 RED LIGHT — It’s vague, confusing, missing the hook, or simply isn’t landing yet. 🟡 YELLOW LIGHT — The bones are good, but something is getting in the way. 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — Clear, compelling, and ready to roll! 📋 Having your About Page reviewed? Paste the wording or add screenshots—no links yet. Once you receive two green lights, edit your comment to say: "✅ UPDATED after receiving 2 green lights" ... then you may add your direct link. And remember: give feedback before asking everyone to give it to you. We’re not posting and ghosting around here. 😉 🏆 Last round’s winner is @Jennifer Rassbach from The Guild! Jennifer didn’t just tell people whether she liked something. She explained why it worked, or didn’t, and gave specific feedback they could actually use. She also stuck around for the revisions and helped people take their work from yellow to green. Jennifer wins a 24-hour pinned post, which she can claim anytime within the next 30 days! Every round has a winner. Who’s coming for Jennifer’s traffic-light crown this week? 👑🚦

@Glenn Summers The sentence here was a simplified version - but on the group itself I've changed it with your ideas: "You've started a book and now what? Get 1:1 manuscript development, editing, proofreading, accountability, one-on-one mentoring and a writing cohort."
