Today I want to highlight @Dr. Shermnae Jones she is a Former Dentist · PMP-Certified · AI Strategist · Certified Master Life Coach... and now she can add AUTHOR to her list too! 😉 She came in, joined 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺, started creating coloring books… and loved what she was learning so much that she referred an incredible 𝟳𝟲 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 to our community last month! 🤯👏 That alone is impressive, but she didn’t stop there. She hasn’t created just one or two coloring books… She has already created 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥! 🎨📚 Her series is called 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻, designed to inspire and uplift women of color: ✨ 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘴 ✨ 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 🎄 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 🎃 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯: 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 This is exactly what I love seeing in this community: learning something new, taking action, building a catalog, and then sharing the community with others along the way. Huge congratulations to @Dr. Shermnae Jones 🥳 Drop her some love in the comments, and if you’ve been thinking about creating your first coloring book, let this be your reminder that one book can quickly turn into a SERIES. 👏

Last year, I spent a lot of time marketing my books with video on TikTok Shop, and it worked. I was selling a few hundred books a month from it part-time. But eventually, I stopped. Not because video stopped working — but because constantly coming up with ideas, writing scripts, getting camera-ready, filming, editing, and posting became a lot to maintain while juggling everything else. And I know a lot of authors here probably feel the same way. That’s why I just published a new video breaking down why video is such a powerful tool for marketing your books, the biggest reasons I still think authors should be using it, and what I’m doing differently now to make the process easier. I also show you a tool @Lexi Kaz created called Sonder that can help create the videos without requiring you to constantly get on camera or come up with the scripts yourself. If you want to check out Sonder, you can also use my referral link here: 👉 MAKE YOUR FIRST VIDEO FREE WITH SONDER I’m curious — what’s the biggest thing that stops YOU from creating more video content for your books? Is it getting on camera, knowing what to say, finding the time, editing… or something else? Drop it below. 👇
