I
am so, so excited
to be able to welcome all of you
to our Amplify call.
Amplify
is the author
mastermind that I and my team my team
and I run,
especially for authors
of all genres,
fiction, nonfiction, and children's books and poetry and
memoir,
who want to build their author brand
and want to learn more about how to
be a successful author. Because being a successful
author is so much more than writing an
amazing book. Those of you who have written
an amazing book and have seen 0 sales,
y'all know what I'm talking about. So
Amplify
is the group that we run. It's a
membership based group where we train.
We train our authors
to understand what is required from them as
authors,
as people who are carrying their message and
are responsible for building an audience. We train
them. We show them how to do it.
We support them in their efforts. And the
ladies who write their books with me, they
automatically go into Amplify, so I get to
help them with their book launches, etcetera. So
with that being said, we're gonna have a
q and a today. Right? And we've opened
it out to the community so that people,
Insha'Allah, can get their questions answered and hopefully
get some benefit from this session. So
I have some questions already from,
from the ladies in the group. If you
have any questions, p please feel free to
post them. I'm here to have my brain
picked right now. Okay? So that means that
you get to ask me any question that
you have about
writing,
but more importantly than writing,
in Amplify,
we talk about the post writing process. Right?
So after your editing, we're talking about publishing.
We're talking about promotion. We're talking about, you
know, book launches. We're talking about networking. We
talk how to make those sales. Okay? So
that's what we talk about in Amplify. Because
it it makes sense, right, to amplify your
message. So,
let me take this question first inshallah.
What is the ideal
launch period?
Amazing question.
The ideal launch period depends on 2 things.
It depends on
who you are as an author
in terms of how much of an audience
you already have,
how big of a network you already have,
and
the the size of launch that you want
to do. Right? How many copies you'd like
to sell. So let me give everybody a
little bit of perspective here.
Statistically,
the average self published book will sell
up to about 250
copies in its life time. K?
I'm gonna say that again.
The average self published book sells about
250 books in its lifetime.
Okay? So that's on average.
Some will sell much fewer, some will sell
sell much more, but on average, that's what
people are expecting.
Now I would say that that is
for authors
that don't understand anything about building an audience,
haven't put the work in to build an
audience, haven't put the time and effort into
preparing for a launch.
And, really, they've just kind of put their
book up there. They've posted on social media
a few times. They've told family and friends,
and they're hoping that everybody's gonna want to
rush to buy their book.
That's not how it works.
So
if you have already got a fantastic network,
whether it's online or offline,
whether it's individuals
or families or communities or a masjid or
organizations,
charities, businesses.
Right?
You know, networking groups, associations
that you belong to. The more
the the the better networked you are, obviously,
the more people you can bring in to
help you to make your book launch a
success. Right? And when I say success, what
do we want? We want people, a, buying
the
book, b, reading the book, and, c,
reviewing
the book and recommending
it.
What did I say? Buying,
reading,
reviewing, and recommending. Okay? That's what we want
people to do. That is how a book
picks up steam. That's how it becomes part
of the conversation.
That is how your book makes an impact.
So if you're well connected,
you may take a 3 month launch period.
Right? And that is basically from when you
first start telling people that, hey, guys. I'm
writing a book. Or or hey, guys. My
book is coming out on this date. We
want a 3 months I call it a,
like, a
a runway.
Right? Because just like an airplane
can't go from standing still
to up in the air. It needs a
runway. Okay? Now the more powerful and this
is my metaphor that I'm completely messing up.
Mixing up, making up, if it doesn't make
sense, then just forgive me, but I'm just
gonna go with it anyway. Alright?
If you have a really powerful engine,
you may not need as long of a
runway. Right? So if you're really well connected,
if you know loads of people, if you
have a podcast already,
if you have a hot YouTube channel, if
you've got tons of followers on Instagram, right,
if you've got a massive mailing list, you
may not need as long of a runway,
but I still recommend 3 months to give
yourself time to get all the moving parts
in place
to have that bestseller launch that we like
to have. Okay?
Now if you don't have that, you need
to give yourself time to build
that. Now it may not be as huge
as the ones who already have it, but
you definitely can do better than just posting
on Instagram and just letting your family and
friends know. So I always recommend my clients
give themselves 6 months
to build their audience,
right, to find their people,
to connect with their people, to
create
trust and respect with their people, meaning the
people who,
are your potential readers, right, Your audience.
Give yourself 6 months because we teach,
in Amplify, there is actually a step by
step launch guide.
And there are quite a few moving parts
inside that launch guide. Right? Those of you
in Amplify, you know. I hope that those
of you in Amplify have actually
been into Amplify and watched all the videos
and made your notes. We had a fantastic
conversation with,
with, Alia Umrayan, and she showed us her
launch book. And it was literally a notebook
full of her notes
that she took when she watched the Amplify
videos,
the work
sheets that we gave in Amplify, the exercises
that we gave you know, give you to
do in Amplify, she amplified, she had literally
a whole notebook full of her plans for
her launch. And
she had a fantastically successful launch, Amazon bestseller
right away. And after I think a week
or two after, it was on the Sunday
Times bestseller list. So this stuff works,
but you need to give yourself time.
So the quick answer to your question, which
is an amazing question, was 3 months, if
you're already really well networked,
6 months, if you're more or less building
from a small base and need to some
time to be able to to build up
your your network.
And what is a network?
A network is people who are your potential
buyers, k, your potential readers,
or people who
know your potential readers. Right? People who have
their own audience,
who have the love and the trust and
respect of your potential readers. Right? So one
of the things we do in Amplify
is we ask you to look at who
out there
is already speaking to your ideal leader,
who is already speaking to them, who is
already serving them, Right? Who is already connected
with them? Who is currently talking about what
your book is about?
Can we
link up? Can we
have something for mutual benefit? You know? Can
we build a relationship there? Because that person
is going to be one of your biggest
megaphones. You're going to pass the information to
that person,
and then that person is going to broadcast
it to their thousands of followers, thousands of
fans, etcetera.
Okay? So that's my answer to the question
about how long should you give yourself prelaunch.
K? Now one of the things that we
teach in Amplify
is the pre launch offer.
K? The pre launch offer
is
an incentive
to get people
to purchase your book in advance
before it goes live.
K? I'll say that again if you're taking
notes, which I hope you are because there's
a lot.
The prelaunch
offer is an incentive
for those of incentive that you offer
to get people to
purchase your book in advance.
Okay? Now the prelaunch offer, guys, it needs
to be juicy. K? It needs to be
a good offer.
It's not really
best practice
to simply ask people preorder my book, guys.
Right? What are you offering them
as a thank you for ordering in advance?
So within the program, you guys, if you've
been through this site this part of the
program, you'll see how we build out our
prelaunch offers. And it basically needs to be
an irresistible offer. Either that you've severely discounted
the book. You can do that.
You'll see that people will sometimes put their
book for, you know, £0
or $0 on Kindle.
But
slightly better than that is to offer more
value. Right? Can you offer a,
you know, an audio version, for example, of
your of your book or, you know, a
a a bonus chapter?
Can you offer a course that goes along
with your book that when they preorder, they
get that? Can they get exclusive access to
to you? You know, can they have an
exclusive launch event with with you and your
people? Right?
What how can you
make preordering the book
a no brainer?
Offers that go away once the book is
launched.
Book you know, goods that or services that
are of tangible value. Right? That this is
actually really good. So, for example,
you have a book that's going out
about marketing to Muslims. For example, one of
my clients, recently launched a book on marketing
to Muslims.
And as a prelaunch, the
author was was was you know, we were
talking about offering
you his course. Right? His course is on
marketing.
And when you preorder the book, you get
priority access to the course, right, free of
charge. Of course, people are like, oh my
goodness. All I have to do is order
this book to get onto the course? Yeah.
I'm doing that. So
you wanna be thinking of the prelaunch
period to build your audience, but also to
get people
preordering. And when we say preordering, we mean
on Amazon
where they will put their order in. And
then the day that the book goes live,
all those preorders
are then fulfilled,
and the, your your book's gonna go up
in the charts because you already had
15,
20, 30, 50, a 100 people already had
basically opted in for your book. So that's
how you get up onto the hot new
releases on Amazon, how you get to the
best seller list on Amazon. K? So
that is the answer on the preorders, right,
and the prelaunch. Now
one of my clients, sis, you asked how
long before launch should we run the pre
order offer? And I think, again, this does
depend on your audience size.
Okay? I would give it a month. I
would give it a month,
of, like, pushing, basically,
but only do that once you've done the
work to build your audience.
And please don't rush to to publish, guys.
Okay?
Please don't rush to publish. It's it's not
worth it. Right? If your illustrations are not
done yet, if you're looking at a picture
book and you don't have a front cover,
you're not ready to start offering a preorder,
you know, to putting a preorder page up.
You're just not ready for that. K? So,
just take your time. Pace yourself.
Everyone is running their own race. Okay? So
look at where you are in the process
and look at how long you'll need to
build a decent sized
network,
and then look at,
you know, working out how long you're going
to do in prelaunch
and then plan your launch date accordingly.
K? Oh, that's helpful, Insha'Allah.
Definitely, you need a front cover if you're
doing a picture book because you can't advertise
something that people can't see. No one is
gonna do anything, and no one's gonna take
action.
Fantastic question that came in. What incentives can
we offer for a children's book? Well,
look thinking outside the box, a few easy
options is, like, coloring pages or, like, a
coloring book
made from the illustrations in your book, and
there's lots of illustrators that will happily do
that. Sister Sajidah, who does the children's book
course with me, she's done that for most
of her books. So coloring pages,
you know, an extra, like, a 3 part
video series for parents,
maybe, like, you know, a a reading or,
you know, a nicely made video, for example.
These are some of the things that you
could potentially offer.
Children's books,
Yannie, is is not as, like,
hard to hard to explain. It's the preordering
on children's books is more getting people excited
about the book and then just encouraging them
to order before the launch date because on
the launch date, something is happening and maybe
they're gonna be involved or their kids are
gonna be involved, etcetera. Okay? So I hope
that answers that question, inshallah.
Right. Next question I have
is,
should my audiobook be the full thing or
a juicy excerpt?
If you're looking at a children's book, I
would offer the audio as,
like, the the full thing. Because children's books
are very short, they're gonna be about a
1000 words or less, and I think it's
worth having the full thing.
And
you can have that as a video where
they're going through the, through the illustrations with
your voice on top.
And I think that's what works well for
kids.
Okay? That's that's much, much better, to to
do that for kids than just the audio
because unless it's going to be on, you
know, audible or something like that.
But kids are not really just listening nowadays.
They like to listen and watch.
Fantastic question here. Can we, offer bundle offers?
You absolutely can as long as you are
able to deliver
So that will very much depend. Some of
our clients have launched with,
a site like LaunchGood, for example,
which allows you to
put the order out, put the offer out
before you have actually published,
and,
you can offer people incentives at different stages.
So they can order 1 book and they
get a thank you. Right? I'm sure you
guys are all familiar with how LaunchGood works.
You order 1 book, you get a thank
you. You order 5 books,
maybe you get, like, a handwritten note from
the author. Yeah. Or maybe you get signed
copies. Right? Order 10 books and you get
a reduced price
and you get blah blah blah. You guys
are following me right now? You see what
I mean with that? So, basically, all we
want people to do is to take action.
So whatever we need to do to get
them to take action, that's what we're gonna
do.
Okay?
Cool.
Another question to do with launching, which is
a really good question here, is should I
launch a podcast
before the launch or afterwards?
Now the first thing I would say is
only launch a podcast if it makes sense
for you
and your business and the work that you
do. Okay?
Don't launch a podcast
for the launch of your book. Right? Because
now you're trying to launch 2 products, and
it's hard enough
to launch a book
without trying to launch a podcast as well.
The trick you want
is to land podcast interviews
before, during, and after your launch date. That
is much, much more valuable,
Much, much more valuable, okay, than you starting
your own podcast.
If you want to start a podcast, you
can, but it needs to be strategic, and
it needs to be part of the work
that you intend to do for the next
year or so. Right? Because setting up a
podcast, it takes time, it takes effort, it
takes energy, and it takes resources.
Okay? So don't set up a podcast for
your book launch. No. Get yourself booked onto
podcasts
to talk about your book for your launch
like we teach you in Amplifying. K?
Question. Can the audio be narrated by a
storyteller instead of the author?
100%.
I think most books are actually narrated by
other people other than the author. Okay?
It seems to be, you know,
common practice,
that they'll get an actor or just a
voice actor
to read the book rather than the author.
Okay. Best places for podcast interviews for Muslim
authors. Guys, Google is your friend. Okay? Google
is your friend. If you Google
now if you're a children's book author
and your book has,
only like, a Muslim appeal, like, the audience
is Muslim specific,
Go into Google
and search
Muslim
mom podcast,
Muslim
women podcast,
Muslim book podcast,
and just take notes on everything that comes
up. K? Take notes on everything that comes
up.
Listen to the podcast.
Go to the the Apple Store or wherever
it is that you see your podcast, Spotify
or whatever, and have a look at the
topics that they have already covered.
Does your book fit in?
Can you
make your book fit in? Can you make
your book relevant in some way
to this podcast and to their audience? A
lot of the time you can, sometimes you
can't. But all you care about is, look.
Am I going to be in front of
my ideal readers or not? And if I
am,
then I wanna go there. I wanna be
there. K?
Fantastic question here. Can I ask my audience
whether they prefer a 3 book bundle offer
or a discount code for prelaunch? You can
ask
them while you're still in the planning stages.
Of course, you can. But
ask them well in advance so so that
you can make your decision and set everything
up with whichever option you decide to go
for. Okay? Don't ask them as part of
your launch, if that makes sense. And don't
give them too many options, guys.
Yeah. Don't give people
too many options when you're asking them to
buy something. You want the yes to be
easy.
The yes needs to be so easy. It
needs to be an absolute no brainer. You
don't want people on your page saying, oh,
which one should I go for? Should I
go for this one or that option, or
will that one be better? No.
Make it super easy. K? Super, super easy
to say yes.
Alright.
What's another question? Okay. So I have got
a question here from one of our dear
sisters in Amplify.
And if you're interested in joining Amplify and
you're listening back to this, please just send
us a message with Amplify in the DMs
or via email. We'd love to give you
more information about it. But one of my
sisters in Amplify has asked talked about her
lead magnets not converting
and whether she should start a new one.
Now for those of you who are new
around here, a lead magnet
is
something that you produce that is an incentive
for people to give you their email address.
K?
We
take lead magnets all the time.
Has anybody ever downloaded a free ebook
or, downloaded a free worksheet
or signed up for a free summit
or signed up for a free bonus download?
Right? All of those activities where you get
something for free
in exchange for your email address,
that is a lead magnet.
K? And the person who is offering you
that is collecting emails so that they can
communicate directly with you. K?
Within Amplify,
we teach our authors
to maintain and nurture their own email lists.
Because if you can get a sizable email
list, it is extremely valuable,
and publishers
are just absolutely love it. They
absolutely love it when an author has her
own network,
has her own,
audience, has her own, you know, email list
that she's actually communicating with and social media
that she's actually using to communicate and connect
with people. Publishers love that. Okay? Why do
publishers love it? You may ask. Well, because
they know they're gonna make sales.
They know that now they've they've got like
a pool of people
who are already your people
that they can tap into in order to
sell more copies of the book. K?
So
this sister who messaged, she has an ebook.
I'm so sorry. My niqab is really annoying.
This sister,
she has an ebook at the moment that
is not converting.
So for those of you, again, who are
new around here, a lead magnet that doesn't
convert
is one that people do not end up
downloading.
Meaning, they may see your ad. They may
see your caption. They may see your story.
They don't click on it. And even and
sometimes when they do click on it, they
will not give you their email address. Right?
And they don't end up downloading your lead
magnet. So when we say that a lead
magnet is not converting,
we need to dissect
at which point is it not converting.
K?
Is it that people are not,
even clicking
to go to the page?
That is a problem of marketing on the
front end. K? That means that
maybe your lead magnet has, got a boring
name.
Or the way you've explained it, people think,
I don't need that.
Or your lead magnet is not suitable for
your audience. Okay? It's not what they need.
It's not what they want, and so they're
not clicking through.
So that's at the front end.
Now a lead magnet could be getting clicks.
Like, people can be clicking to go to
the page where the lead magnet is, but
that can end up not
putting their email details in. That is a
different problem. Okay? That's a problem in the
middle of the funnel. Okay?
And there, it usually is to do with
the page.
Maybe the page doesn't look professional
or the page doesn't explain to them the
benefits of this lead magnet. Right? Or maybe
there's something not working with your page. Yeah.
And the maybe the tech side of things
is letting you down. So first thing is
to diagnose
where is where am I where are people
dropping off? And another question another issue as
well is
if not enough people
are seeing
your ad for your lead magnet, if not
enough people are seeing your posts, not enough
people are seeing your stories, not enough people
are even seeing that link, then you have
another problem there. So
how do we deal with this problem? And
it's it's it's tough because the algorithm,
you know, the algorithm is doing what it
do. You know what I'm saying? So sometimes
it can be very, very difficult to get
visibility.
So after you've done the diagnosis,
right, if you've discovered that, look, my lead
magnet is what my people need. Maybe I
need to tweak my language a little bit,
but not enough people are seeing my lead
magnet. This is where the power of networking
comes in.
This is where the power of networking
and offering
your things to someone else's audience and maybe
doing the same. Okay? This is where you
need to start getting yourself out there. Because,
for example,
a lead magnet can be like an ebook
or a download, etcetera. But another type of
lead magnet, which has worked extremely well for
me is an event.
Right? It's a summit. It's a conference.
It's a seminar. It's a festival. It's a
symposium.
Okay?
It's an event that people are going to
sign up to so they will if they
want to be at this event, they are
going to give you their email address so
they can get the details. K?
You've got a lead magnet, masha'Allah.
And, of course, if you want them to
have this ebook, then you can always send
them the ebook once they've signed up for
the event. But if it's not converting, then
try something else. Okay? It could just be
that either not enough people are seeing it,
in which case you need to network more
and you need to try to offer it
via other people's channels,
or that particular ebook is just not what
people are interested in for whatever reason.
Try something else. And, this sister is actually
a premium client of mine. So, girl, we're
gonna work on this together, Okay?
So So that we can make sure that
you are actually building your list insha'allah. So
not to worry about that.
Have I answered all the questions?
No.
A nice question came through here.
How
do we deal with backlash
after
our book has come out? One of our
clients, it's a children's book client, but she
wanted to know, like, if I've written a
story with a bus driver in it, and
the bus driver does whatever he does in
my story. What do I do if after
the launch, bus drivers come out and say,
excuse me. That is not correct because us
bus drivers, we don't act like that. Whatever.
Right? That's a very interesting example. But
let me offer this to everybody who's here.
I've said this before
and I'll say it again.
You will not be everyone's
cup of tea.
Okay?
You will not be everyone's cup of tea.
You will never be everyone's cup of tea.
Even the most so called popular people in
the whole entire world
have detractors,
have people who
criticize them, who don't agree with them, who
hate them. Right? That's a fact of life.
So don't ever have the the intention
to please everyone.
You can't.
Right? As Muslims, our first goal should be
to please Allah.
So as long as I'm good with Allah,
the rest of the world can do what
it do. It doesn't make any difference to
me. Okay? And it shouldn't make any difference
to you either.
As long as what you've said in your
book is correct before Allah,
and you can stand before him
and say, yes. I did that. And hopefully,
you get reward for it, inshallah. It's a
good thing. Right? But as long as I'm
okay with Allah
the I will not fear the blame of
the blamers and neither should you.
Will you always get it right in your
book? No. You may make a mistake.
Right? You may make a mistake. You may
say,
you know, you may have analyzed things incorrectly.
Okay? You may have quoted somebody
incorrectly, and in which case, you should be
open to changing that. But as for
someone taking issue
with your characterization
of a character in your book, that I
will not pay any attention to. I'm so
sorry.
Okay? Our characters in our books are characters
in books. They are not supposed to be
a representative
of the whole anything.
So if I have an Afghan character
in my book, for example,
and the Afghan character has, you know, an
addiction to cigarettes, for example, and then someone
from the Afghani community comes and says, well,
why did you make the Afrani in your
book have an addiction to cigarettes? We're not
all like that. And that's ridiculous,
I'm sorry to say, but that's ridiculous.
So nobody should come at you saying, oh,
why did you say this about these 2?
We're not all like that. It's just a
character
in a book,
a specific character in a specific book. So
don't fear the blame of the blamers.
Do your due diligence when you're writing your
book. Do your research as much as you
can. And this is especially important for those
of us who are writing about a culture
that is not our own.
If you're writing about a culture that is
not your own,
please, please, please do your research.
Okay? That's where you can really get yourself
into trouble and end up just annoying our
whole community
while you are actually trying to do something
good. Okay? That's really important. I don't know
who needs to hear that right now, but
that's really important. If you're writing about a
group of people, whether it's an ethnic group
or, you know,
an interest based group or national group or
whatever that is not your own people that
you don't have direct knowledge of,
be sure to do your research
and also have people from that community
give you feedback on your story to make
sure that you have hit the right notes
and that you haven't said anything that is
going to annoy that community or annoy, you
know, the people from that group. Right?
And, of course, for me, this is different
from I have a character in my book
who is x y zed, and I've chosen
to make him a particular way. And then
someone says, oh, we're not all like that.
That's not the same. But, for example, I've
seen in books before where
people will a person who's not from the
Muslim community, for example,
will write about how Friday prayers go,
and it's
wrong. It's like, no. That's not how Friday
prayers go. Like, did you not do your
research? Some of you may know which book
I'm talking about. It was made into a
film, but I was shocked because I just
thought it's so easy to research
how Friday prayers go. How could you get
that wrong in your book? You know what
I mean? Anyway, I digress.
Suffice to say, I've finished with the questions,
and
I pray that this is beneficial
for everyone out there who is listening to
this live or, you know, on a on
a replay.
What I want you to know is this.
The reason we do the work
of building an audience,
of building a network,
of working towards a successful launch
is
we have something valuable to say.
Our book contains something of value,
and it is
in honoring
that value
that we put in the time and the
effort and the resources
to find an audience for the book
Because one of the saddest things that you
see is when people somebody has written a
beautiful book
It's a book that's needed. It's a book
that is is is is, you know It
would be such a wonderful thing if more
people could read it,
and the author just has no idea how
to get it out there. You know how
many messages I've had from sisters and brothers
who say, I I did all this work.
I paid for this. I paid for that.
And I got my book, and it's published,
and I just can't make any sales.
And I feel like I wasted my time
but what the first thing is that of
course you're rewarders of Allah,
but
We don't want to be in that position.
Right?
I'm sure we don't want to be put
in that position
Nobody wants to have put in all that
work and then nobody reads your book
So this is one of the reasons why
I set up amplify
That's one of the reasons why we have
this mastermind, why we build these communities and
encourage sisters and whoever else to work together,
to support each other, to back each other
up. If you guys follow my stories, then
you know that that's what I do. You
know? Even people who are not in my
program, people I haven't worked with. Okay? But
we are stronger together.
And if we amplify each other, Insha'Allah,
it builds a reciprocal relationship.
Okay?
So never feel like another sister's book launch
coming out. You see on your feed. Right?
You see on your feed that so and
so's new book is out.
Drop a heart
Tell her congratulations
Tell her, oh my sister's is great. Even
better,
two things
buy the book and then promote it on
your stories share it on your stories
share it on you in your networks
Okay?
Trust and believe. Like, those are the types
of things that comes back to you. It
really does come back to you. It's not
about, I've got a book to launch. Who
can I ask for favors? It's like, no.
I'm already in this space. I've been doing
favors.
I've been helping people out. I've been supporting.
Right?
I've been a listening ear, a sounding board.
I've given, you know, feedback.
Okay?
Support each other
It makes sense and it works and when
you do finally have your own book to
launch when you reach back out to those
people, they'll remember you. So, oh, your books
are much of course. What do you need
me to do?
And everyone should be doing that. Right? And
if you're sincere,
people will
respond
sincerely,
inshallah.
So I hope that that's a reminder to
to to everybody.
There is a whole relationship that's being built
here, and it doesn't end when your book
is is released. It doesn't end when your
book is launched. Okay?
We should be helping each other. You know
a good podcast?
Pop it in the group. Right? You just
had a great podcast interview with somebody.
Let people know in the group. You know?
So and so is looking for articles. You
know, I had a I had a
I you know, I got my article published
here. Here's the the editor's name.
You know? So and so is doing a
lot of really great reviews. You should reach
out to her.
So and so invited me to come and
speak, and he's looking for more speakers. Who
wants to take part? Do you see what
you see what's happening here? I can't think
of the number of sisters from Amplify,
from Release, from my writing programs
that ended up on the stage because maybe
I did a summit, and then I invited
them to come on that summit. And then
people saw them speaking at that summit, and
then they were invited onto this podcast and
invited for that that that conference or or
come to train or do a workshop or
whatever.
That's how we amplify our own voices and
amplify each other.
Okay? So with that, I will bid you
good night, and
I will see all of my Amplify members
inside our Facebook group. After you've listened to
this, I want to see those takeaways.
And for those of you who are watching
on the replay and you're not in our
WhatsApp group because you haven't joined Amplify yet,
what are you waiting for? Okay.
I wanna see you
getting the support, getting the network, getting the
help that you need. I love being involved
in everybody's launches. I love helping them come
up with ideas for how they can get,
you know, more people knowing about it. And
I also love connecting
my authors with whether it's publishers or whoever
else out there, Insha'Allah. So
if you're not part of us, send an
email with Amplify or send a DM with
Amplify.
Let's get you that information and let's get
you part of this movement inshallah
so that we can all rise and benefit
together. Thank you so much for watching. Thank
you so much for paying attention, and I
wanna see those takeaways in the WhatsApp group.
