You have been showing up on YouTube, teaching your audience, and sharing your expertise week after week. You may not realize that you already have a book! The content you create every week is more than videos: it's chapters, frameworks, and insights just waiting to be organized into a published manuscript. On August 27th at 10am PST, Lynn "Elikqitie" Smargis, ghostwriter and six-time published author, is joining @Des Dreckett inside The Content Revenue Lab live to walk content creators through exactly how to turn their YouTube channel into a published book. We will cover a high-level overview of taking your idea and outlining it, organizing your existing content into a clear manuscript structure, and filling in the chapters you don't yet have content for. I'll also be sharing my FITO framework, the same framework I use when ghostwriting with my clients, to show you how to move from scattered content to a finished rough draft without starting from scratch. This is a live workshop with Q&A at the end, so bring your questions and come ready to see your YouTube content in a whole new way. Your book is closer than you think. We will see you August 27th at 10 am PST!

Hey friends and future authors, I just recorded a walkthrough video that I really want you to watch, because there's a good chance you're only scratching the surface of what this community can do for you. We've built this space with so many ways for you to connect, get feedback, share your wins, and move your book forward, but many members never realize they're there. In the video, I walk you through each area of the community and show you exactly how to use it, from where to post when you're looking for beta readers, to the best spot to get honest feedback on your writing, to the weekly prompt that's been sparking some of our best conversations. I also share a few insider tips I've been teaching in our premium workshops that make a real difference in how much value you get out of showing up here. I promise you'll walk away with at least one idea you hadn't thought of, and probably a few. The members who use these features are the ones building real momentum and real relationships in here, and I don't want you missing out simply because no one showed you where to look. Do yourself a favor and watch the video. Then come back, jump in, and create one post to tell us where you are on your journey. After you watch, tell me in the comments which feature you'll try first. I'd love to know. 🦫

That is a missed opportunity. YouTube is one of the most powerful and sustainable book marketing platforms available, and Des Dreckett from The Content Revenue Lab built a full-time income from a small YouTube audience in under four weeks. Now he is bringing those same strategies to authors. YouTube for Authors: The Book Marketing Strategy You Have Been Overlooking Free. Live. For our community members only. Grab your spot. *August 18th at 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST* https://www.skool.com/publishing-for-professionals-9809/calendar?eid=cf14bcdb562e4dcb96cba194e5eb51f6

One of the biggest mistakes authors make is believing they need a traditional or hybrid publisher to get into bookstores. Nothing could be further from the truth! Join me as I interview Lisa Rabey, book distribution specialist, on how indie authors can distribute to book stores nationwide! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQBg3cE3t4A
