My 3 Step Process For Creating A Trivia Game For Your Book

📚 Think Outside Of The Box & Sell More Books

Ever thought a mistake could be your goldmine? Think again. I’ve been self-publishing since the late 90s (you know, back when fax machines were still a thing) and now I’ve jumped into the fiction pool with my latest AI-crafted gem. And guess what? I don’t fear the occasional glitch. In fact, I’m embracing them like a long-lost friend. Why, you ask? Because sometimes, those quirky little errors make the product all the more collectible—think of them as your literary equivalent of a rare, misprinted stamp.

Let me tell you—my colorful past reveals a knack for turning lemons into collectible plus-size dolls. Yup, you read that right. I once had a doll line marred by production slip-ups, with incorrect colors that turned to gold in the eyes of collectors. This whimsical perspective is guiding my current approach to self-publishing. So, when you pick up a copy of my latest book, The Lyran Legacy: The Starseed Chronicles Begins, keep your eyes peeled for those charming imperfections—they might just be your next collector’s item.

You think that’s all? Not even close. I’ve got a three-step master plan to keep you hooked. I’m whipping up a trivia card deck to accompany my book. And no, these aren’t just any trivia cards; they’re 52 pieces of pure, interactive fun designed to build a community around my work. Picture this: You, your friends, maybe a glass of wine, and a deck full of engaging questions all based on the chapters of my book. Could game night get any better? (Spoiler: No, it couldn’t.)

But wait, there’s more. I’ve proven I can make board games as compelling as Netflix binge sessions, so you can bet these trivia cards will be stellar. They’ll feature my book cover to up the branding ante, and guess where they’ll be available? That’s right, on Amazon alongside my book. This diversified product line isn’t just for show—it’s a strategy to build my book brand. One book might not rake in millions, but a combined product line? Now we’re talkin’!

Now, let’s pivot to my role as a powerhouse in the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce. I’m not just leading; I’m innovating. Remember that board game? It’s just a snippet of my knack for creating memorable, out-of-the-box items that build brand loyalty and community. My masterclass in merging creativity with business know-how is something you don't want to miss.

Here’s a pro tip from me, and you better jot this down: Get your stuff ready to sell WELL before the holiday rush. I’ve got a prime spot lined up at a place called ‘Painted Tree’ and it’s all systems go by October. Timing, my friends, is everything in retail. The Painted Tree model is a godsend for busy entrepreneurs—set up your booth and let the sales roll in without being tied to the spot. Genius, right?

Lastly, if you’re itching for more pearls of entrepreneurial wisdom, I’ve got something extra up my sleeve. Tune in for my masterclasses starting in January. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve survived the wild west of early self-publishing and thrived. Join my community through my newsletter, and get ready to level up your game.

So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the glitches, join the community, and maybe—just maybe—your next mistake could turn into a jackpot. Stay tuned and keep collecting!
