I've been working on a way to make my social media brainstorming and planning easier, and I've finally figured it out! Between my Notion content calendar and THIS brainstorming template, it's getting better and easier, and my results are looking good! Let me know if you enjoyed this in the comments, and don't forget to grab your template!

Thank you for this video. I'm just starting to entertain the idea of starting a KZfaq channel. The idea's been marinating for over a year, and I've just started to listen to that voice and do some research to see if it's actually something that I think i can and want to do. This video came at the right moment! My fav visual cues that you use are your plotting wall, your notebooks/planners, and your desk! Like the thumbnail for your annotating video is sooo divine! Just look at all those pens, sticky notes, page flags! I NEED to know what you're doing with all that, I'm in!

Thank you Sarra! You always bring us such value, and in my case now, at such an ideal time. I'm about to launch my first book and planning group takeovers. I also want to revamp my FB group (which never really took off and it is now sadly neglected. There's only two people in it right now, myself and one of my ARC readers. I want to know how to grow my FB reader group. Do you have a video on how to do that? If not, that's a suggestion for a future video 😊😊

I would love to do an "intro to the author" post & let my readers know a bit about me. i have a VERY "out of the ordinary" family life (i'm polyamorous_. i am not shy about who i am as a person, do you think mentioning this (sometimes) taboo "lifestyle" as part of my family life would hinder readers? i know (for me) i am more apt to finding authors that hold my values (i LOVE finding polyam authors!). should i add this too?

@dianemartin3492 10 ай бұрын

Question: If I want to post a visual topic photo of an author's book I enjoyed (maybe to review in my content pillar), can I use one from that author's IG account? I often see aesthetic mockups with a newly released book, and then they're sent out for the street team to use in social media posts. Does that mean I can also grab one of those photos and use it on my own account? I would give attribution to the author.

@HeartBreathings 10 ай бұрын

It's a good idea to DM the author and ask if you can use it with attribution, but most people are totally okay with that. I personally would get permission and always link back to their account!
