Hey Oil Carriers 💜 I wanted to show you what I’m working so you can see how list building actually looks in real time. This isn’t part of the official training yet of the list building path in the classroom but think of it as a bonus resource / case study. Click here to watch the video: https://www.skool.com/fire-starters-4890/classroom/7532cecf?md=ea2ac2bbcd0f4e3d9a82d18fd8f50f4a I’m in the middle of launching my next book, and I realized I needed to build a fresh lead magnet to pull new readers off Amazon and into my world. Amazon owns the customer, but when we collect names + emails, those become our jars to pour into. That’s how we multiply our oil. Here’s the simple flow I built (took me about 15 minutes with templates 👇): - Cover + Lead Magnet → I used AI to merge two of my book covers into one, then added text for a bonus readers can claim. - Opt-In Fields → Name (required), email (required), phone number (optional). Collecting first names makes your emails more personal! - Thank You Page → As soon as they opt in, they get their bonus, plus a button to preorder the new book. - Workflow → I attached the “Bridge Funnel Workflow” from Affiliate Bootcamp, tweaked the delay, and modeled the emails for my story using ChatGPT. - Email Sequence → There are 7–10 emails. I’ll send the bonus right away, then keep following up so readers see me multiple times (it takes most people 7+ touches before they buy). ✨ And here’s the key: in the back matter of my books, I’ll point readers to this bonus. That way when they finish reading, they’re invited into my VIP list and future launches. Want My Template + Emails? If you’d like the exact lead magnet template I used and the bridge funnel emails (modeled for authors), let me know in the comments below and I’ll share it. 👇 Remember Oil Carriers: list building doesn’t have to be complicated. Start simple, model what works, and pour your oil into the jars God’s given you.

✨ This morning I was reminded just how important it is to have a lead magnet. One of the things I realized I was missing in my books lately was a simple way to give more to my readers. So I got up, and within 15 minutes, I created this page. 🙌 If you have a book or business, you need a way to grow your email list because that’s how you build real connection and long-term impact. We’ll be going over this step-by-step inside the List Builder Path (classroom), but if you want to get started right now, I can send you the exact template I used. Just plug and play. 💡 Drop a “ME” in the comments if you want me to share it with you.

I know some of you don’t feel called to write a book and that’s okay. But here’s the truth: If you’re posting content online, you should be selling something. Whether it’s a journal, a digital download, a mug, a T-shirt, a $5 guide, or even a list of your favorite resources… don’t just show up with value. Show up with an offer. Why? Because I’ve seen it happen too many times: 🚨 A video goes viral... but there’s nothing in the bio. 🚨 Thousands of new eyes... but no way to convert them. 🚨 Creators with 50K+ followers... making $0. Let’s not be those people. 👉 Even if you don’t want to write a book, at least set up one product or offer. Something that lives in your bio. Something that says, “If this helped you, here’s your next step.” Here’s why this matters more now than ever: 📉 Social media platforms are unstable. • TikTok keeps changing its monetization rules. • YouTube creators are getting demonetized overnight. • What used to pay hundreds is now paying pennies. We cannot rely on these platforms to be our paycheck. We can use them to lead people to our platforms. So before you post your next video, do this: ✅ Add a product link to your bio. ✅ Set up a simple sales page or checkout link. ✅ Mention it in your content: “Check out the pinned comment” or “Hit the link in bio.” 🎯 What I do: In every description, I link to my books, my merch, or my digital products. And at the end of every video, I give a clear call to action. Because visibility without a vessel is wasted oil. We’re not just creating to be seen, we’re creating to serve and sustain.

Whether your book is already published or still in the design phase, your cover is the first vessel your oil pours into. So let’s see what you’ve been working on! 📘 Post your book covers below: Journals, devotionals, fiction, nonfiction... we want to see them all. But before you do check out the Book Cover Training: https://www.skool.com/biblestudy/classroom/fa44304d?md=400084a3aa44416e82b7e6728219c5ba ✨ Feel free to ask for feedback too if you’re still deciding or want a second set of eyes. Let’s help each other level up — your cover might inspire someone else’s next design breakthrough! P.S. No shame in evolving your look. Covers can be upgraded, changed, and refined. But the first step is sharing it. 💪 Let’s go!
