I’m genuinely so excited to share this with you! This is my signature membership program for self-published children’s book authors who want more than just “get your book published on Amazon and hope for the best.” If you truly want to build a real, sustainable children’s book business, this is for you. This is the exact roadmap I walk my private coaching clients through. Same structure. Same sequencing. The only difference is that now you can go through it step by step, at your own pace. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never published before. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already launched one or even 20 books. If you’re brand new, I’ll walk you through publishing, optimizing, and launching the right way from the beginning. If you’ve already published, this will help you position smarter, optimize better, and relaunch with an actual strategy so your next release performs stronger than your last. 📌 Here’s what's in Author Growth Roadmap First, you move through a clear 60-day roadmap to publish, optimize, and launch your children’s book the right way. No guessing. No piecing together advice from my many YouTube videos. Just a clean, structured, and sustainable plan. And we don’t stop at launch! You’ll learn how to: • Build consistent book sales • Create organic traffic systems • Diversify into wholesale and in-person opportunities • Grow your email list and website into real business assets • Scale into the children’s book brand you’ve been dreaming about Join Author Growth Roadmap at the Founding Member rate (this rate goes away Wednesday, March 4th): https://www.skool.com/author-growth-academy/plans 👇Watch the video below to get a peek inside Author Growth Academy:
