Happy Wednesday!
It was a gorgeous summer/fall day here in Central Ontario. The leaves are starting to change colour and I’m looking forward to getting out with my camera on the weekend to take some pictures! I was in and out in between zooms today, and it was warm and sunny, and at one point it would’ve been so easy to just hang a left and head for the beach.
But alas, there were calls to show up for and I’m glad I did. We had our second live Q and A session for the Coloring Patterns Monthly, and once again people asked great questions, and we talked about a couple of ways to use the patterns that might not be thought of. The replay will go up tomorrow and I’ll get the next call scheduled for November as well.

Here’s what I have for you in today’s roundup…
Top Picks for This Week…
Pick #1 – Podcasters Kit #4 – I’m sure you’ve been inundated with emails about Dan and Rachel’s Podcaster’s Kit already this week, but there’s a reason for that. This is the #1 resource when it comes to learning how to podcast, boosting your existing podcast, and making connections with other podcasters. And even though I didn’t contribute to it this year, it would be very irresponsible of me not to tell you about it.
Pick #2 – Training on Sale: Picture Puzzle Profits – This is a really popular niche and Andy’s put his training on sale for $25 through this week only. It includes written instructions and video tutorials to show you how to put these puzzles together to create picture puzzle books for kids.
Pick #3 – Ez Pub Profits is a guide for KDP publishers that shares research, trending topics, holidays, and product interiors that you can use to create books for KDP. They work 2 months out, so this month’s guide covers topics to publish in December. It’s one of my must have purchases every month, and a steal at only $10.

Today’s Read: 7 Tips For Getting to Know Your Community
It’s no secret that getting to know your community members is essential to creating and publishing the content that is going to resonate with them. If the content you create doesn’t interest them, they’re obviously not going to stick around for very long.
“But,” I hear you say, “it’s impossible to get to know everyone in my community!”
And while that may be true on an individual level (although having a dedicated site to communicate with them helps), there are ways to get to know your community as a group that will give you insights into what kind of content you should be creating for them.
That’s it for me this evening. Shaun’s out in the other room doing some cleaning to get ready for Thanksgiving Dinner on Monday, so I guess I should go and give him a hand for a bit.
Have an amazing day/evening! Create what makes your heart happy!
