Your Fast-Track to Social Media Posts that Sell More Books

Hey, welcome in everyone. Thanks for being here. I'm Shane, head of digital strategy at Book Launchers. Gonna do a live demo for you guys today. And first, I actually just want to start out with a quick question for everybody here. Have you ever kind of opened up Instagram, realize it's been two weeks since your last post and thought, you know, what the heck do I even say? Or maybe you've sat down to finally batch create content like all the experts say, and you sit down, you're ready, you got coffee, and you've got a plan to make a few weeks worth of posts so that you can just set it and forget it and know that your social media posting is covered, you're getting exposure out there, but then three hours later, you've got one canva graphic, you've got a half written caption, and even like a mild headache possibly. So if any of that sounds familiar, you're absolutely in the right place. And this Live Today is especially for you. If you're a nonfiction author who wants to grow your audience without spending hours every week figuring out what to post. And you know, you should be on social media, but honestly, you know, you're tired of staring at a blank screen or just wondering what to post. You know, you got a book to promote, a message to share, a brand to build, but the content calendar part kind of feels overwhelming. Or maybe you've got a million ideas and just zero structures. There's nothing actually gets posted. You know, I talk with clients all the time and they say social media is, can be a full time job. You know, you're trying to write a book, you're trying to do all these other pieces, put your platform together, reach out to podcasts and just like get the word out there. But then, you know, continuing to post on social media can just feel like a drag and it just feels like a lot of work. So if that kind of resonates with anybody, just, you know, say, yep, that's me in the chat and then let me know that not alone over here. Thanks everybody for tuning in. Hey Jeannie. Hey Stella. Hey Efren. Thanks everybody for hopping in. Hey, Darla. Yeah, so if, if, if that's, if any of those kind of problems have happened to you before, you know, let me know in the chat. So today what I'm going to do is I'm going to actually help a lot of you. So today I'm going to show you a brand new tool that will save you precious time and a whole lot of sanity when it comes to posting. On social media. It's designed specifically for authors. So if you ever thought, you know, I don't know what to post, I don't know if it sounds like me, I don't even know if it connects with my audience. This tool is basically going to change everything for you. So in today's demo, I'm going to walk you through, step by step, how to use this tool and how to fill up your entire social media calendar and fraction of the time that it would normally take. So if you're ready to stop kind of overthinking and finally show up consistently online, just stick with me to the end. I'll probably. It won't take too long. This is a really easy tool, and I'm going to show you how to actually generate posts that you can use to resonate with the audience and then show you how to actually create those posts and then schedule them. So this is kind of like a workshop as well. So if anybody already has our tool called Author Launch Kit, go ahead and open that now and you can follow along. Same thing if you have like a canva account and if you have a meta business profile as well. So if you're posting on Instagram and Facebook, go ahead and open those up in a new tab and you can kind of follow along what I'm doing. I promise I'll try not to move too fast and I'll stop and explain what I'm doing throughout this whole process. So for anybody who hasn't heard of our newest software launch before, it is called Author Launch Kit. And let me share my screen so I can show you guys what I'm talking about. All right, so share my entire screen here. All right, so hopefully you guys can see what I'm seeing here and this. Isn't this crazy? Yeah, that looks crazy. I'm not going to share my entire screen. We'll just share the. Just that specific screen. One second. Share my screen. Author Launch Kit. Here we go. So for anybody who hasn't heard of Author Launch Kit before, this is the new software that we just launched in June. And it's really just designed to take all the guesswork out of book marketing. We have everything divided up into different sections here. We have Mission Control Platform, Planet Media Meter, Research Rocket, Social Media, Supernova Sales System, Explore Resources, and Julie the Book. Bottom. If you're in our ABA community, you know about all these things already. However, if you're just new, if you're just showing up here for the first time and looking to get some insights on how to you know, start posting on social media or how to make it easier on you. You know, welcome in first of all, but this is our new software. And this software shows you literally a roadmap of everything that you should be doing to, to promote your book and start to get more sales, get, you know, get more exposure for your brand, for your, for your author brand and for your book so that you can achieve your biggest goals as an author. And there's a bunch of great tools in here, but the one I'm going to dive into today is the custom social media posting schedule. So like I said earlier, this is meant to just take the guesswork completely out of book marketing. And one of the tools that I want to show is we have a tool inside of the software that will create 30 relevant social media posts, all customized and personalized for your book, meant to write in your voice and meant to capture your ideal audience. So we also have that, you know, inside of all these tools we have infographics and we have YouTube videos from our channel specific to the tool. So you can kind of get that supporting context around. Okay, why is this important and why do I need to do this and how do I actually go about implementing this? So this week by week social media content calendar, this actually generates 30 full days of social media. And right now I have it set to Facebook and Instagram only, just because that's what I told the software to enter in. And if you're looking at this like this is just a bunch of text like this. When we dive into the details here, I actually uploaded a book. I'm located in Idaho, over in Boise. So one of the big draws to where I live is all the backcountry roads that we have out here. And I have a book called Backcountry Roads in Idaho by Lyna Howard. So I uploaded all the details for this book inside of our author launch kit software and then it gave me this detailed 30 days custom social media posting schedule. So you can see it literally goes day by day. You know, we have set for October 1st, October 2nd, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th. Like this is like you can set a post for every single day and it's all unique and it shows you the platform to post it on the post type, whether it's image, carousel, text, reel, story, the content description. So what is actually in the the post itself. So like how to actually explain that? And then we have visual video suggestions so you can look up templates to make sure it matches the branding on there. What is the post goal is it just to get awareness for your book. Are you encouraging engagement on your, on your platform? Are you trying to tell a story? So it switches it up. It gives you a bunch of different goals so that you're kind of hitting your marketing, your social media marketing from multiple different angles. It also recommends hashtags and then some additional notes as well, like when you should post it. You know, encourage audience to comment on their local favorite locations, ask followers what inspires their adventures. You know, so it'll help you kind of write those captions as well. And you can always keep them simple. But so I'll dive into one of these right now and actually just create one with you. So let's see if we can pick one that we like here. So we have feature selection, stunning image. So let's see. We'll do a image share breathtaking photograph from the book highlighting Idaho's natural beauty. And we'll do full page red photo from inside the book. We can do that. I don't have a picture of the book, so I'm actually gonna see if we can do something else with stock images here. Okay. Okay. I mean, introduction to backcountry roads in Idaho. Share the book cover and a brief intro from Lyna Howard. So let's do that. So high quality image from the book. So, so this is what it's suggesting. I create a high quality image of the book cover with a scenic Idaho background. The post goal is just awareness. We want to let people know that this book is out there and it's available and we're ready to share it and we want people to go and buy it or visit our website and, you know, sign up to our newsletter, all that kind of stuff. We have some hashtags here to recommend and then, you know, post early morning for better engagement. So what I'm actually going to do is go over into Canva. If anybody has a Canva account already, you can access thousands of templates from on there that will save you so much time. I love using Canva. I use it daily for, for a lot of the work that I do, just as it is a great design tool and I couldn't recommend it more. A lot of what I'm going to show you today will be available on the free version. I have the paid one. But you don't really have to do that. They just. When you pay for Canva, it gives you more, you know, templates to work with, more functionalities, more features, that kind of stuff. But you can do everything that I'm going to show you today inside of Canva for free. So let me share my screen here. And so we're in Canva. And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to my social media calendar. You guys can't see it right now, but it's saying to post a high quality image of the book cover with a scenic Idaho background. So I'm literally just going to go into here and I'm going to say you can just type in Instagram post with a scenic Idaho background. See if it does that for me. Oh, these are my designs. That's why we go into templates. So we have Instagram post with scenic Idaho background. So we can even just say Instagram post. Then we can add the Idaho background afterwards. So let's go in here, search. And then it's going to give me all these different templates to work with. So I'm going to look for something that would be easier to replace a scenic background with that recommends it says introduction to the book. So it's just, we're just gonna have the, the book cover on there and a brief intro for the author in there. So let's see here. So we can find one. I mean, these are like, with the paid version you get thousands of these. With the free version you still get a bunch as well that you can work with. So let's say, let's, let's go with, let's go with this one right here. So customize this template. Share this tab instead. And so what I'm looking at is like there's something in the foreground here. This is just, this is where the book cover could go. And then we have a background as well that would be great for like a scenic image. So I'm going to go to Elements, I'm going to say Idaho backcountry and we'll go to Photos. We got some great photos of the Idaho backcountry here. This one looks pretty good. This looks kind of like where I live. So we will. I'm just going to get rid of all this stuff here. So now we have this great background and it's all sized properly to Instagram. So actually I'll leave some of that text in here. It's all sized properly Instagram, so you don't have to worry about sizing. And then what you're going to do is just import your book cover in there. Right now I'm just going to use one of my clients books because I have one easily accessible right here. At least I should Anyway, yeah, we have our client Colleen right here. So we're introducing the book. This is just example number one in that list of 30 options that you have. So I'm just going to drag and drop the COVID of the book right there. That looks great on the, on the background there. And then what else did it recommend? It said to do a brief intro from. For the author and like, you know, do a quick introduction to the book. So. So we can edit this. Check out my new book. We won't confuse things. We'll say Living by the mantras. And then we can actually just increase the text of this so it's a little bit bigger. And then. So we'll make all this text fit, make sure it all looks good and we'll add another one here. I'm just going to copy paste this and say, you know, go to my website, www.mywebsite.com and we'll make that a little bit smaller. So it's not totally the call to action. We want people to go buy the book and then we can even say, you know, it's available on Amazon, it's available on Barnes Noble, it's available on all these different stuff. So we actually have like an app here. So let's grab Amazon and we can say it's available on Amazon, it's available on Barnes and Noble. And let's go Apple Books as well. Apply books. Apple Books. It's not going to show me that actually. Let's go Chapters Indigo. Indigo. That's not in there either. Let's just go Amazon, Barnes and Old for now. I'll just stick with that. So check out my new book. Here's my website. And then, you know, available now on, on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. We can even add some text there as well. So copy paste available on. And then we just adjust this and throw that up on there. Now we can, let's see here, drag this over so it's nice and centered. It all looks good. And there we go. Now in just a few seconds, we have just a few seconds about like a minute or two, we have like a social media post that we can actually put on there. It looks aesthetically pleasing. It puts the book on the foreground and looks great. And it has a call to action. Check out my new book, Living by the Mantras. You can go to my website or it's available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble. You put in the caption, you know, the link to it or somewhere easy to access the book so that they can actually go do it. Okay, now, so what you can do is go through all of these different posts that are on here and you can create 30 of them. So like I was saying earlier, if you ever sat down and you know, you had a plan, you're going to batch post stuff for the next couple weeks. And you know, you're, you're sitting there and you're kind of lost, you're not really sure, like, okay, what, what do they really need to hear? Like, what, what's actually going to resonate with people? This is going to give you 30 ideas custom to your book and to your audience that will kind of get the ball rolling right away. And as you will, as you create these on Canva and as you start diving into, you know, what these posts are, once you, once you start making reels, carousels, and just straight up images, you can customize these. Anyway, this is just meant to be that launchpad to just kind of get you started. So now that we have our social media image, you can actually post a social media rate from Canva. You can do that and there's a ton of other posting tools out there, but I'm going to show you how to do it in Meta Business Manager so that you can post it on Facebook and Instagram at the same time. So I'm going to download this. I'm just going to go jpeg. It's the best for sharing. So I'll download it shows up in my downloads folder up here and then I'm going to pop, pop over to our Meta business suite. So this is just, it's business.facebook.com this is actually just the back end of our Book Launchers account. I'm just going to demo it for you guys so you can see. And it's as simple as just going into here. And if you have Facebook and Instagram for your author brand or for, you know, or even if you just have a personal Facebook account, you can easily create a business page and then have access to this business suite. And the purpose of the business suite is to see the analytics behind your posts. The analytics behind your post. So be able to see how many people are clicking on it, how many people have seen it, who has been exposed to. You can run ads for your posts so you can get more exposure for it as well. And yeah, and also you can schedule posts ahead in advance. Again, this isn't the only tool you can use. You can also use many social media schedulers to put it out there. But I'm just going to hit create a post and you can choose where you want to post it. So you can just do it on Facebook or just do it on Instagram or in this case, I'm just going to do both. So I'm going to add the image that we just created. So I'm going to upload this from my computer and we're going to hit open and that should load in just a second. So we have. Check out my new book, Living by the Mantras. There it is. It looks great. This is what it's going to look like on Instagram. This is what, what it's going to look like on Facebook. And this is, you know, what's going to come across people's feeds as they're scrolling down their social media apps. And you can also see how it looks on mobile as well. So that was on desktop. And then you can take a look at how it looks on mobile too. You can create specific captions for both Facebook and Instagram. Instagram, you can add up to like 30 hashtags. So I would actually recommend doing this so that you can make the most of all of those posts. And you would go in and add the text in there. And let's see here. So here's what Author Launch Kit is recommending. I add in there. So we have introduction, backcountry roads in Idaho, Share the book cover and brief intro from Lena Howard. So you'd enter in the text here, like now introducing my new book. I worked so hard on it over the past year and now it's finally available. To go ahead and buy it at this link www.mygreatsite.com. cool. And then, yeah, and then on Instagram you can go and add the, add the hashtags in there and, you know, change up the text if you want to, to appeal to that different type of audience. Totally fine. You can add emojis in there as well to kind of, to spice it up a little bit. And then you can go ahead and post these right away or you can schedule them ahead of time. So this is where this calendar is really going to come in handy. And this, the Meta Business Suite tool is going to come in handy because you can make all 30 of these posts and then schedule them for the next couple of weeks. So you can just kind of set it and forget it and know that you, you have all these posts going out and you're going to have people interacting with your social media channels without you having to really put your full focus into it and having to sit down every week to make all of this stuff so again, it's really just that launchpad of just like how to get started with these pieces because it can be a lot of work. So just a few hours of well spent time on a weekend or Saturday morning or something. Just using Author Launch Kit to get these ideas and then schedule them onto your meta business suite here. Save you a lot of time and a lot of sanity just going forward. So you can actually just go and pick what date you want to schedule it on. Say I want to launch this on Sunday and Author Launch Kit recommended that I do it in the morning. So we'll do AM, do 9:40am on Instagram, we can do it on the same day and we'll try this at 10:30. And it even recommends some times as well that you can put on there and you can also share the post your story. That's also ideal as well because a lot of people actually are getting lots of interaction from their stories nowadays. So I definitely recommend doing that. Just kind of post it everywhere and yeah, I mean, simple as that. You basically use Author Launch Kit to get the content and then build it in Canva. Again, there's other tools other than Canva. There's Artlist IO, there is. I mean you can, if you're talented with Photoshop or Adobe, like you can mess around those tools. I just prefer can, but just for ease of use. And it's so quick. I mean I literally had all these templates to work with just to put this together. And then once you're done, you just hit schedule. And then there we go. And then now you can go ahead and schedule another post, get that one going. And you can see that it's going to populate right here. It's going to be scheduled on Sunday the 24th. And that will go out to all of your subscribers, I mean to your followers. So you can see this whole calendar here. You can set it by the month so you can see like what posts you have scheduled on what day where you know you, where you're missing, where it drops off. So then you can actually go back and reset it. And the cool thing is when you do run out of posts, maybe you do all, maybe you're really ambitious and you do all 30 of these. You can actually go and hit regenerate at the bottom of this. And then, and then here you can start typing, say give me 30. You can actually just hit regenerate. You don't actually have to type anything, but if you want to customize a little bit more, you can totally do that. So Give me new 30 new social media posts targeting my demographic of teens and Boise, Boise, Idaho, we'll hit regenerate. It's actually just going to go through and regenerate that. And then while that's working, you can go ahead and go back to Canva and continue making these posts, messing around with templates and clicking around and seeing what's going to resonate with your audience and use these tools to your advantage here. But I'll stop sharing right now and I'll go back to the chat here. I'm hoping that this is all making sense here. I kind of just went through a couple different tools really quickly just because I'm in here all the time. So I probably moved a little bit fast. But I hope that I'm able to convey kind of the value of actually using these tools and putting them all together so that you can effectively create a content plan without hiring a content manager and saving you a lot of time, a lot of money and the, you know, of course you could just go into ChatGPT and say, you know, create 30 social media posts for me. But the beauty of Author Launch Kit is that you enter in all of your books information, all of the information for you as the author, your ideal reader, you know, what are the key benefits of your book? All these pieces and then it will dynamically pull all of that information and then use a professionally written prompt by book launchers to give you the best result possible for that. And with Author Launch Kit, we're continually making updates to it. We're gonna, we're planning on rolling out the author LaunchKit 2.0 next month with a bunch of new features and the ability to have multiple books in there as well. So you can manage multiple book projects all at once. But yeah. So a lot of exciting stuff coming and want to check out, see if anybody has any questions in the comments here. And hey Angela, thanks for joining in. I appreciate it. Hey Kate. Okay, so Shane, can we set the dates? This is from, from Janie. Can we set the dates and change from Facebook, Instagram to tt. What's. I'm blanking on what TT is. Yeah, I mean you can, you can set the dates and change them at any time. Like whenever you're going to schedule anything, you can, you can change whatever dates you want in there. Maybe just expand on what you mean by TT Genie. And I can answer that for you. Can you show how to make a 3D book cover in Canva? Actually, I wonder if I can. Let me, let me see if I can do that for you, Jeanne. So let me go back here, share my screen. I actually don't create these. We have an awesome designer on book launcher that does this for us. However, Canva does have a lot of awesome tools in here. So let me see if I can figure this out. So where I'd want to look is probably in mock ups right here. So what I did was I went to elements over here on the left and then I went. And I'm scrolling down to mockups and this is going to show me a bunch of examples like smartphones, print apparel. So you can put images on shirts, images on computers, on pillows and mugs and all this stuff. But I think what we're looking for is print. So yeah, actually here's a 3D book cover right there. So there's the 3D book cover. And then what we'll do is grab an image. Here's a client book I just worked on recently. And you just drag and drop it right into there. And there we go. Now you have a 3D cover image just like that. See, I told you. Canva is awesome. It has everything. So that should. That probably answered your question. That's awesome. Okay, Stella Golf, is there a suggestion for the best data post? Yes, there is. Let me actually check to see if I can show you this really quickly. And the best day post varies. It's not always going to be the same time, same day every single week. I think it fluctuates a little bit. But yes, let me show you this real quick. Share Screen Metabusiness Suite. All right. Yeah. So when you're going to schedule it and setting the date and time. This tool actually recommends the active. So schedule your post for times when your audience is most active or manually select a date and time in the future to publish your post. So this is recommending based on when your followers are most active on Instagram and Facebook respectively, in the last seven days. So this is telling you today at 5pm is going to be popular. Tomorrow at 6, Sunday at 6, Saturday at 10am, Monday at 9am, Friday at 1am so it's Friday at 1am that's interesting. But yeah, it's recommending all these times for you here. So yes, it does recommend times for you. Jeannie says is there an issue with Instagram using non original content? TT Shop dinged me for using a Canva template. Oh yeah. So that's. That's right, Jeanne. Jeannie's using a different type of social media scheduler. She's just abbreviating it. TT Is there an issue with Instagram using non original content? That's. No, there shouldn't be an issue with Instagram using non original content. I mean all these templates are available on, on, on Canva and like technically once you actually mess around with it and change it up, it's. It is original content. I think the problem that we were having, I remember last discussion was saying that the sizing was, was not right. So you just have to make sure that the proper sizing is, you know, you just have to import that proper sizing into wherever your social media scheduler is. But you know, if you use Canva templates then it's going to be the proper size in there. Oh, TikTok shop. TikTok. That's what it is. That's. Yeah, I guess I'm not with the times, but TikTok shop dinged me for using a Canva template. Yeah, I don't know actually a ton about TikTok shop and why it would have dinged you for that. I mean it probably gave you a detailed like, you know, analysis of why it danged you. I'm. I sorry I don't have an answer for you, Jeannie. Cool, thanks Kevin. Appreciate you popping in and. Yep, Stella, no problem. Happy to help. And any, anytime, any users involved in launch kit too, you can always reach out to us and we can always, you know, troubleshoot any issues that you're having in there and request updates or request additional features as well. Okay. The ste and was Shaw. Hi. I'm just about to release my book and after four years and to be honest, looking in and everything to everything so much I'm confused what to do. Totally get that. Those are, that's something that I get all the time from clients. There's so many things that you can do really. I mean marketing is you sometimes you just got to hit them from all angles and like having a online platform is. Gives you that home base. So my advice to you is don't look at everything and try and do everything all at once. Just pick one thing that you know you're going to be excited to start working on and then. Or just one thing that you know, you can get done and, and you know, start getting the word out there about your book. Then you know, go into all of those other pieces that we recommend on our YouTube channel and inside of author launch kit too. Like you don't have to do everything at once. It's baby steps. You know, you start to build your platform over time. But I would highly recommend focusing on, like before you do promotion outreach, online ads, build your platform first. Like, don't not, not build your platform. Like accumulate a bunch of subscribers and all those things I'm saying have a home base, have a landing page, have a book page that people can go to to then buy your book. So that when you're doing these promotions and getting the word out there about your book, you can say, go to my website.com book and then all the, all the purchase links will be there for you for them to actually take action. Because you don't want to have, you know, get your book in front of a bunch of people and then they have no action to actually take from that. You want to make sure you're driving them to the right place and you're optimizing all of the content that you're sending out there into the world so people can take action from there. You know, they're just. Because it's so easy just to scroll past what you're, what you're working on or just get lost in the sea of search results and AI recommendations. So make sure that your foundations are set before you dive into all of the other pieces and check out Author Launch Kit. It'll literally give you a step by step everything that you need to do. So it's you can go to book launchers.com forward/alk so let's see if it might. It'll let me post here book launchers.comalk to learn more about it. Yeah, there you go. Check out this link if you want to learn more about it. The Ste and Woz show and you can check it out. Awesome. Cool. I think that's all the questions here. Looks like we still have some people in here. You know, maybe drop in the chat any questions you have or if you thought this was valuable at all, or if you want to learn more about any tools inside of Author Launch Kit. I'm happy to stay on and kind of help explain that a little bit, but otherwise I'll stick around for a minute and you can check out the link here. Book launchers.comalk to check out our Author Launch Kit tool that will literally take all the guesswork out of book marketing for you. All right. The Steve Walsh Show Again, I've done a few podcasts that are coming out. So you think it's best to get a website? Yeah, I mean, something to direct people to. Right? Like if you've done a few podcasts that are coming out, like what, what are you telling people in those podcasts? Like at the end, like usually you have a great conversation with the podcast host and you talk about your niche, talk about whatever, whatever it is your book is about or, you know, whatever the topic of the podcast is going to be. And then at the end, usually plug, you know, your book, plug your pot, your own podcast, your own, your online course, your whatever, whatever you got going on there. So having a website is great because you can say go to the steamlawnshow.com forward/book or go on the steamwondshow.com forward/free and like offer some free guides so they can hop on your email list and then you can kind of funnel people into buying your book from there. So yeah, I mean, I definitely recommend having a website that should be like your home base for all of your marketing. So you can always drive people there, they can learn more about you. Like if they listen to you on those podcasts and then they liked your messages, they're interested in your book, they're going to want to go learn more about you. So if you have a really simple website that tells them, you know, hey, Steve, this is what it's about. This is, you know, we just wrote a book and it's out now. You can purchase it here and like have the book description available and all that stuff. Okay, so in a, okay, I have to change the media at the beginning If I want 30 days of Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Yeah, Jeannie, if you just go to the settings in the bottom left there and change the like when you're filling out that launch assessment. If you just select TikTok in there in the, in, in the little drop down boxes and then put your link to your TikTok in there as well. And then if you go regenerate that content, that social media content calendar, it'll give you recommendations for TikTok as well. Replays of these discussions. Yes, I mean this is just on YouTube live, so these will always be available on our channel. You can just go to our channel at Book Launchers and then see all the lives that we've done previously. We. I'm going to be doing these every Friday for the next like four or five weeks. Just demoing little bits of the author launch kit software, plus answering questions like this so you can always find them in there. Or you can join any of our online communities as well, which we have actual office hours and online trainings and you can check that out. Let me get the link for that as well. So we have a free community that is this one here. Is our free community, if anybody's interested in joining that. It's called self published Nonfiction books. We have 384 members in there right now. And this is what will constantly, you know, we'll keep you updated with our latest YouTube videos and, and you can just connect with other authors who may be in the same journey as you. And you can kind of connect with them and, and see all the great conversations that we're having in there. And then if you're looking to dive in a little bit deeper, we also have a paid community as well. And I'll post that link here. This is more, you get more value out of this one just because you have a few members of the Book Launchers team, including myself, giving very specialized talks on these subjects and diving deep into all of these pieces like building an author website, creating sales funnels and running Amazon ads, doing online courses, all these pieces and then you have like this more one on one conversations with us and we can actually help you, help guide you to where you need to go and have much more personalized advice. Plus we have 41 members in there right now. So it's a pretty lively community. That's great to be in. Okay, what else we got here? Awesome. Yeah, glad I could help. Stella. Okay. Small YouTube channel. Yeah, Steam was. Good job getting the plug in. You always got to make sure you do that. Podcasts are great because you're just leveraging other audiences that wouldn't have heard about you otherwise. And that's why, you know, if they haven't heard of you before, they need someplace to go to learn more about you if they want to. You know, your book is obviously a great place to do. You can just tell them to go search your book on Amazon to be more direct. But if they go to your website, you can see who those people are. You can see where they're coming from. You know how they got there. Did they click there from the link from the podcast? Did they go there directly from a specific link that you provided? And, and you know, if you get them there and then they sign up to your email list, you now know who that person is. You now can contact them and out to them for future things. Yeah, let's see. People Profits LLC said, what's the cost of Canva? I think I paid $15 a month for Canva and I probably just will have that on autopay forever just because I use it for so many things. But Canva is free. You don't have to pay for Canva. Some of the templates are available for free. You just get more features and more access with canva. Plus they have a really cool AI feature now that helps you build all sorts of cool things. Cool. Well, I think that's it. Unless anybody else has any other questions, I will hop off and I will see you all next Friday. I'll be giving another demo inside of Author Launch Kit. And yeah, and a few subsequent Fridays after that, I'll be continuing to do this. So hop on, feel free to ask me questions and join any of our communities again if you want to be a part of the Book Entrance community. So thanks everybody for tuning in. Really appreciate you being here. Okay, bye everybody.
