Need help offering paid subscriptions and/or Paid Masterclasses
Hi everyone: My book is a textbook with unlimited ways to create smaller pieces of it and concentrate on that for paid masterclasses. I could also do a community with it, although I'd love to just do paid live webinars/masterclasses. Has anyone done this already? If so, can you give me some advice? If not, can anyone help with info, recommendations, etc.? Thank you!😀💕

There are so many to choose from, the book has lots of subtopics. Maybe "Why Body Mechanics isn't Enough to Prevent Injury" (because a lot of massage therapists in all kind of settings are taught this one strategy is all they need to stay healthy throughout their careers and it reflects a real misunderstanding of what it really takes to stay healthy. But there are lots of other topics.

My big challenge is not subjects, though. It's how to get enough people to hear about the availability of these masterclasses, how to package them properly, make people want to attend/pay, and then deliver them. Anyone know someone who can help me put this together?
I'm over hurdle #3 - my EPUB file has been accepted by Ingram
I have a subscription to Claude AI that I have been using for proof-reading. My book layout is fairly complex. It has tables and text wrapped around smaller images. After trying about 30 PDF to EPUB converters where every tool I tried messed up the layout, I decided on a fixed rather than reflowable file. In the process, I got an education and picked up some new skills. It would have taken me about a day to assemble this file manually. So, I asked Claude if it could do it. After some discussion about strategy, I sent Claude the file. It finished in less than 5 minutes. Claude is about 150 times faster than me. The file works perfectly in the mac Books app and in Calibre and it passed through epubcheck with zero errors or warnings. Epubcheck is the software Ingram uses to validate ebooks. Ingram has accepted this file.The problem was solved for a small part of a $22 per month software fee. Technology will make us all obsolete. And Claude is rapidly becoming my best buddy. Tomorrow when it stops raining here and the noise level drops, hopefully, I will finish training ElevenLabs AI on my voice and get a first cut at my audiobook version.

Hi Cole - someone (a man) in this community recommended a person he had worked with and he said that person made a huge difference. The specialist had an African name.
