Have you ever thought of crowdfunding your book?

It's not something that's talked about that often, but personally, I think it should be - because it's a great way to bring your book dreams to reality, particularly if you're on a tight budget.

In today's episode of 'Authors of Impact,' I share:

My crowdfunding journey, and how it kickstarted my career
Why you shouldn't feel ashamed of using crowdfunding (either for book coaching or to produce your book)
How it can help you build a passionate community of supporters
Which platform I used
And what you MUST do in order to incentivize people to donate (including what led to me receiving a $1000 sponsorship)
