    Power Words for Authors…

    Most Authors Have Trouble… Hyping themselves in any fashion is just not a “comfortable” thing for writers to do.

We wanted ten positive words a writer could use in a promotion sentence about themselves. Numbers of writers got ten, numbers put full clauses, and so on. Fear once again raises its ugly head for no reason at all.…

    One More Time… Sales Copy Class…

    Three Weeks to Making More Money… This has started, but time to jump in. Reason I started this, to be honest, I got tired of hearing myself complain about authors killing their own sales with bad sales copy.

Cost is $150 and there are two homework assignments in the three weeks. Stared February 3rd, so more than enough time to get in.

    Some Surprising Numbers…

    At Least They Surprised Me and Kris… Teachable sent us a bunch of facts from 2025. First time in our ten years with them that they have done that. Seems we have 1,469 courses, and zero were made with AI help. Duh… We have many of those 1,469 courses turned off (unpublished) as dated or duplicates, but we have around 600 active courses. Wow, see why the Lifetime Everything Subscription is so good? (grin) We have 5,692 writers who have taken classes over the decade and 179 new writers joined in 2025. They also sent us a bunch more information such as total income, numbers of hours of classes watched,…
