|
Hi Reader, It’s no surprise that so many self-publishers focus on no-content and low-content books. They’re quick to produce, easy to publish, and offer a great way to learn the ropes. But what if the real opportunity was somewhere else? In my latest YouTube video, I unpack why children’s books might just be the hidden goldmine on Amazon KDP. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/yHZh68653aM Having published over 20 children’s books myself, I’ve noticed something interesting: while the time and effort to produce these books is higher than journals or notebooks, the competition can often be lower and the potential for impact and income is far greater.

You'll also hear how to handle illustrations (Canva vs. AI vs. hiring an illustrator), what rights you need to consider, and how to approach marketing if you're on a tight budget. Whether you're just getting started with self-publishing or looking to pivot away from the ultra-competitive low-content space, this video gives you a real-world look at what’s working and what you need to look for. If you’ve ever thought about creating a book that not only sells but impacts young readers, this is the episode for you.

You need an audience to sell your course, but you also want to launch your course to build an audience. So here’s the truth:You don’t need a massive following to launch a successful course. What you need is the right strategy and a few foundational steps to grow an audience of people who trust you and...
Hi Reader, If you’re a course creator, coach, or community builder, chances are you’ve come across Skool. A growing platform designed to bring education and community under one roof. In 2025, Skool has continued to gain traction as an all-in-one solution for hosting content, managing members, and building recurring revenue.
