I actually left the house today 😂 and made a trip to Target… and I could NOT believe what I saw. Target is definitely targeting the millennials right now. 😂 They’re bringing back all kinds of 90s throwbacks, and then I walked into the book section and saw an entire display of 90s books for kids. Immediately I was like… GOOSEBUMPS! 👀📚 I was a huge reader of Goosebumps books growing up, so this definitely hit the nostalgia button for me. But of course my marketing brain kicked in too. 😂 I thought: THIS is perfect TikTok-style content. Something recognizable. Something nostalgic. Something people are already stopping to look at and talk about. So naturally… I had to catch the wave AND find a way to plug one of my own books into the content. 😂📚 LET’S GO! This is your reminder as an author: content ideas are literally everywhere. You don’t always have to create the trend. Sometimes you just have to notice what people are already paying attention to and find a natural way to connect your book to it. 🔥

Finishing your book is exciting, but uploading it to Amazon and immediately moving on to the next project is NOT a launch strategy. Your book needs a plan to build momentum. Before you publish, think about: 📚 Who is this book actually for? Your marketing gets much easier when you know exactly who you’re trying to reach. 🎯 What does a successful launch look like? Sales? Reviews? New email subscribers? Visibility? Pick measurable goals instead of just hoping the book “does well.” 📣 What are you doing BEFORE launch day? Start creating promotional content, building early interest, preparing your Amazon listing, and getting readers ready before the book goes live. And remember: launch day is not the finish line. The books that continue selling are the ones that continue getting visibility. I break down the full process inside my Publishing Playbooks, including how to actually PLAN your publishing and marketing instead of just uploading your book and crossing your fingers. 🔥 TODAY is the LAST DAY to grab the complete Publishing Playbooks for only $15. Tomorrow, the price goes back up to $27. If you’ve got a book coming soon—or you already published one and realized you never really had a launch plan, grab them while they’re still on sale. 👇 UNLOCK THE PUBLISHING PLAYBOOKS TODAY

🎬 Member Shout-Out: @Nick Nebelsky Today I want to give a big shout-out to Nick! If you don’t know Nick yet, he’s one of the moderators here in the community and also runs his own community, AI Storytellers. Last month, Nick put a TON of work into creating an AI short film using Grok to enter into a contest. And if you’ve ever tried using AI to create a reel, video, or even a few consistent scenes, you know how challenging that process can be. 😅 There’s a lot of trial and error that goes on behind the scenes, so I wanted to recognize the time, creativity, and effort he put into bringing this project together. If you want to learn more about how to bring your story to life check out his group! 🎥 Take a few minutes to watch his video below and drop a comment congratulating Nick on all the hard work! 👏 Great job, Nick!
