@Aisha I have published 2. 1 is about overcoming domestic violence, anxiety, and depression. 2 is an anthology of overcoming generational curses. The one I’m working on now is to encourage teenage mom’s being that I was one. It’s also an anthology.

I have an audience and they will want to hear from me.
Love it! Question, have you polled your audience to see what they prefer – audio, video, etc. ?
Ed Troxell Creative – I haven’t done an official poll, my tribe bought the book strong cause they asked for it. I just want to be audible now 😂😂😂

Are you planning a book signing?
Love this question and thank you for asking! It created a great conversation 😉
@Whit Tag Ed so he will see it.
Raw and real 👏🏻
Raw and real
Did you have to go through a lot of publishers to find anyone who wanted to publish your book?
Vicki, because of the unique nature of my book, I was advised to self-publisher the first one, sell the heck out of it, then use that as leverage to entice a traditional publisher …..
Sounds awesome
And be sure to tag Erica Rodriguez Maier for questions too for the after party
Went live last night and everything that could go wrong did. I stuck with it and finished…but deleted the video lol
Oh no! 🙈 But I am so happy you kept going, that is huge!
I’m curious, what maybe happened? Just one thing maybe you can share with us? Like, did the phone drop or the lighting was bad or the connection kept cutting out?

Ed Troxell Creative So first I wanna say I’m going to do the video again lol but it was a Brain Dump Exercise walking multi passionate entrepreneurs through how to organize their thoughts.
Okay so instead of telling people what to do I decided to show them on the dry erase board. Well I had everything set up but because my laptop wasn’t working at the last minute I flipped the camera around on my phone so I could see myself. While I presented.
•Didn’t realize until half way through when I looked back at myself that the flip means whatever I’m writing is showing up backwards live
•I had to excuse my son (who should’ve been in bed) talking in the background.
•Next He unplugs his headphones from his tablet and his volume is on full blast in the background.
• the marker for the board starts running out.
• the layout was perfect when I did my run through but I started running out of board space live.
• I made it through without skipping a beat but went to view the replay and the lighting was horrible. I turned a light off because the of the minor reflection on the board and forgot to turn it back on and reposition it.
But I did it I had to pause my 5 day challenge because each day was built on the previous and I want people to be able to rewatch the videos. I ordered new markers, and adjusted the set up. I’ll be ready next time.
Whitny Turner I love that! That is an excellent live!
That right there, for everyone who’s reading this is too, is real life right?!
That is a video (for the next time) that you could use as an example — of course share this story loud and proud to everyone moving forward — and could edit parts out for bloopers or something later
Thank you for sharing with all of us!

@ Vickie lol I just laughed and notes how I could avoid it next time.
😂 👌🏼
@Ed can you ask Erica if she plans to have a virtual or in person book signing?
This was such a great question! Thank you for asking that during the live
Yes I have reviews
I have a review section on my page
I love having the review tab! It is so helpful!
Such a fabulous idea Ed
Right? That can be applied to different businesses too!
Yes!! You can sign and ship while streaming!
Erica Rodriguez Maier that is a great point ☝🏼
Erica Rodriguez Maier that is a great point
Ed, yeah, I like that idea, Whit! I’ll need to plan a full-fledged virtual party! I’ll be offering autographed bookplates, too, to those who ordered, so that would be cool to do live!

Yay to uk
Me
I have infrequent lives. I have been live several times but not to a schedule. High five from the UK again!
I have never been to the airport im afraid.
Vicki Smith high five fellow stuck in the uker!
Thats a great idea! Its so much easier to absorb information in small snippets.
Its about changing your core values. Is it worth stressing about? Can i control it. It does take a fair while to make the process happen naturally.
Dont feed the trolls!
Just ignore the trolls dont feed them.
Its enevitable that at some point you will get a bad review. Something will happen some time it may even be completely out of your control.
Exactly! And why should we close ourselves off right from all the greatness that comes in between?
That’s why I love talking about reviews and encouraging others to turn theirs on. 🤓
Ive known people to get their first bad review because of delayed postage! What can you do? Most customers will focus on the good not the bad. Definitely have reviews on!
Toni-Joyce Butler oh wow! Yeah, such a great point and thank you for pointing that out as others reading can learn from that. 👏🏼👌
Toni-Joyce, SO TRUE! You get the blame for things out of your control! 🤷🏻♀️ It happens! That’s why it’s crucial to focus on the good ones (unless the criticism is valid! Lol) and serve those that left you positive reviews!
