Recommendations for Illustrations
So - Apart from Nano Banana, and ChatGPT, what are your other favorite tools for illustrations?
Pseudonym or not?
I wanted to share my personal experience with using a pseudonym, so far. First of all, my written work is in the non-fiction genre, so why use a fictional name? At first I launched a podcast and was planning to talk about some personal trauma history. Using a pseudonym was my way of not drawing direct attention to people from my past that I might be telling stories about. Later, when I began writing books on the same topics, I wanted to have a cohesive flow back to the podcast content. So, I decided to use the pseudonym for the books and everything downstream from that (including my skool community). More importantly is what happened as a happy accident because of this choice. I was careful to select a pseudonym that was unique back then. The result is that if someone does a google search of my author name, a very cohesive and thorough response is returned (especially when using AI search engines). This has resulted in an online presence that is not distracted by my personal history, my other business presence or any other person with a similar name. The search yields results that include my book titles, book reviews and my social platforms that compliment the books. More importantly, it highlights my authority on the subject I write about (trauma healing and personal transformation) Just thought I would share this as it might help others to gain visibility.

YouTube Shops Are Coming?
In Neal Mohan’s 2026 CEO letter, YouTube says it is “focused on frictionless commerce” and that viewers will be able to purchase creator‑recommended products without ever leaving the YouTube app. When a creator talks about or recommends a product in a video or Short, YouTube plans to show an in‑app buy option so the entire checkout happens inside YouTube instead of opening a separate store site. YouTube will use AI product tagging and other shopping tools to detect products in videos and attach shoppable links, turning more videos into instant storefronts and giving creators ongoing sales from their back catalog. Fully seamless “never leave the app” buying experience is scheduled to expand broadly through 2026. I think it can be a much bigger deal than TikTok shops, since the YouTube audience is more inclined to buy real books. Your thoughts?
