I clicked on a YouTube video today out of curiosity, looking for something to think about while I made dinner. Uncertain if I would learn anything that could help me sell more books, I took a chance. It had one of those click-bait titles The 7,11,4 Hack That Turns $1 Into $10K Per Month! The 7, 11, 4, Hack That Turns 1$ Into 10K Per Month! Big whoop!

Usually the ideas are well known, and the years needed to begin accruing that kind of income are more than I have left in my life. Besides, I'm not interested in becoming a millionaire. Surprisingly, there were several points that I took away from it that were actually helpful.

Point 1: The 7, 11, 4, formula. Comprised of 7 hours, 11 interactions, and 4 platforms. Seven hours of video content, eleven interactions with your audience, across four different platforms. I have four social media sites: Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube. So, I'm going to try something new.

I'm considering reading Book I The Dreamers, one chapter at a time, on all four platforms, and do some livestreams where people can ask me questions and connect with me. I've also had people tell me they are interested in my experience with the carnivore diet and want me to do a livestream about that. I also make custom jewelry and grow some of our food. I can do videos about that.

The second point is make yourself memorable by looking different, or having a particular thing you wear that becomes a trademark. That's easy for me because of my jewelry creations. I have some very cool and avant guard pieces that would perfectly fit that bill.

The third is I need to provide value to people for free. Reading the book aloud would be free, my experience with the carnivore diet would give folks free information. Giving my readers an opportunity to meet me and ask questions, and sharing my gardens would be enjoyable for me and I hope, a blessing and encouragement to others.

It will take time and discipline. I'm praying for a way to schedule my time so I can do all these things. Spring is in the air here in Florida. The birds are nesting, and it's time to build a new henhouse and get chicks. A tree fell on my henhouse in the last hurricane! Plus I need to start seedlings and prepare the ground. Spring is a difficult time to add new things to my schedule. I'd appreciate your prayers!
