[NEW VIDEO] Turn Your Instagram Followers Into Book Buyers!

If you're struggling to figure out what to post on Instagram, or your profile isn't helping you sell your children's books, this new video is for you.

In this training, I walk through the 3 Instagram posts every children's book author should create to introduce themselves, showcase their books, and make it easy for readers to know exactly where to buy them.

Once these posts are created and pinned to the top of your profile, they'll continue marketing your books every time someone visits your Instagram page!

I just released a new podcast episode, and this one covers a topic that I've been getting asked about A LOT lately...

AI illustrations for children's books.

Whether you're considering using AI, already using AI, or you're completely against it, I think it's important to understand the realities of what can happen after you publish an AI-illustrated children's book.

In this episode, I share:

β€’ Why AI is such a controversial topic in the children's book world

Happy Children's Book Marketing Monday! 🎧

I just released a new podcast episode about something that can make it much easier to sell future books, grow loyal readers, and build a long-term children's book business.

It's a strategy that many of the most successful children's book authors use, and it's something I wish more self-published authors thought about from the beginning.
