- 0:27Well, hello everyone, and welcome to the 10 Penny Files.
- 0:29I'm your host, Dr.
- 0:30Sherry Tenpenny.
- 0:32Here at the Tenpenny Files, we dive into vital and often controversial topics that will challenge what you've been told and then reveal what's been hidden.
- 0:40These compelling conversations will make you think, spark debate, and hopefully inspire action.
- 0:46Join me each day at 3 p.m.
- 0:48Eastern time to hear authors and documentary filmmakers talk about something that they is from their heart.
- 0:55And these are people that have something very important to say, and many of them have been silenced or censored.
- 1:01Today's conversation is with our special is with a special author, publisher, ghostwriter, trained storyteller, and business consultant, uh Nicole Orozco to talk about her book from expert to authority, your complete book publishing journey.
- 1:18You know, and I've talked to so many of these authors along the way, and I've talked to so many people that say, you know, I really want to publish my book, and I don't have any idea even where to start.
- 1:27So when her book, expert to authority, your complete book publishing journey came across my desk.
- 1:32We just had to have her on the show.
- 1:34So it's for anybody that's out there that's an aspiring author that wants to know what to do and where to start.
- 1:40This is the show for you.
- 1:41So Nicole, welcome so much to the Ten Penny Files.
- 1:44Thank you for joining us.
- 1:45It's glad to, I'm so glad to have you here with us today.
- 1:48Yeah, thank you, Dr.
- 1:49Tenpenny, for having me on.
- 1:51I really appreciate it.
- 1:53And I'm excited to share some information with your audience that could help.
- 1:58Well, good.
- 2:00How did you get how did you personally get into the publishing world?
- 2:04I mean, how did you decide that this is what you wanted to do?
- 2:07And what was some of your first steps that you took?
- 2:10Well, my first step was back in 2005.
- 2:13I was a single mother of four.
- 2:15And I was listening to a podcast way back in the day when the internet was nothing like what it is now.
- 2:23And they said, write about what you know.
- 2:25And I thought, what do I know?
- 2:26I mean, I was doing my um bachelor's in psychology at the time, and I was raising kids, working full-time, exhausted, and I thought I know about being a single mom.
- 2:39So I wrote the single mother's journey to wholeness, and I did it by hand, just thinking I'll write a book.
- 2:45So I'd work full time, come home and write for three hours, and just that was paper and pen.
- 2:51That's the way I did it.
- 2:52And um back then I wasn't typing on a computer or proficient at that.
- 2:58And um I had people read it, and they said, you should publish this.
- 3:03So I looked for self-publishing options, and I went through a company called iUniverse at the time and had it self-published.
- 3:11It won the editor's choice award.
- 3:12Thank you.
- 3:13Thank you to my mom in heaven.
- 3:15She um was a great editor.
- 3:17They didn't have grammarly back then.
- 3:19They didn't have um, they didn't have the type of tools we have today.
- 3:25And you have to do it old school, not quite typewriter, you know, like I learned in high school, but old school.
- 3:31So that was the beginning, and then of course, doing dissertations and doing a lot of writing in college.
- 3:38You you become a proficient writer with um sources and materials and things like that.
- 3:44Again, it was old school, right?
- 3:47I mean, when I started college, they had microfish.
- 3:50So um it progressed a lot of years went by, raised kids, did careers, you know, completely out of the realm, um, built websites.
- 4:00I learned how to build websites, and um that was my creativity, just wanting to get out of the normal nine to five grind that a lot of people want to get out of.
- 4:10And so I went through years of training, not knowing I was in boot camp, and then COVID hit, and that's a whole nother story, and that's where it really starts.
- 4:20Well, that's really interesting.
- 4:22You know, you were also where I first met you years ago, was you were the co co-founder of uh a newspaper called The Flame with Anna Kane, and I think that we met at um I I don't know, some conference somewhere along the line.
- 4:37Um we were in um just uh throw it out was Bard's Fest was the first time I met you, and I was doing Druthers, and you um you I met you and um Ohio Brett and all of the people at um that um Missouri conference.
- 4:59Uh and that newspaper had distributed over a million copies across America.
- 5:04What made you step away from newspapers and return the books?
- 5:07Well, I'm still doing a newspaper um partially.
- 5:11My voice is kind of hoarse.
- 5:13I um stepped away from the flame after four years because I don't know how you do it, but it got really heavy.
- 5:22And I had to do two newspapers at the time.
- 5:26I had a local paper and I had the flame.
- 5:29Anna knew how to do the flame.
- 5:31Anna did not know how to do the local because I was she she was going through something, she was doing the flame a lot.
- 5:38I was doing the local, and I said, let's split it because this workload is too much for two newspapers.
- 5:45So she took the flame, it's still going, it's still going strong.
- 5:49And I took the Mill Creek View, and God had a plan with that because at the time I thought it'll be lighter.
- 5:57I'll get like um General Flynn says local action makes national impact.
- 6:02I thought local action will make national impact.
- 6:05So I took the local paper and I brought it up 400%.
- 6:10And um it was it it's a part of the new book that I'm ghostwriting too, so you'll see that around someday.
- 6:18Um so the story is woven like a tapestry.
- 6:23And so during that time, I started writing a lot of books, and I started using tools, and I got really good at what doesn't work and what works.
- 6:33And so I was doing the newspaper, and I wrote The Soul Factory.
- 6:37I wrote Mind Chess because of narcissism and it's kind of an epidemic in our society and covert narcissism.
- 6:45I wrote, of course, from expert to authority is more of a guidebook to go with the master class, but it goes step by step on my process, which is super important.
- 6:55I played with um different AI programs and they were garbage, garbage.
- 7:00Like you don't get your authentic voice out.
- 7:03And so I kind of hermited it out at that time and did a lot of soul, um, you know, a lot of soul work during that process, a lot of shadow work, a lot of um of really delving into the parts of society that I wanted to be a part of, how I could be the change, like uh Maya Angelo says, be uh, or was it Gandhi?
- 7:26It was Gandhi.
- 7:26Um, be the change you want to see see in the world.
- 7:30And I wanted to bring solution-based um thinking into the world.
- 7:34So that's kind of where it started.
- 7:37Well, so let's talk a little bit more, delve into the idea of AI.
- 7:41And in your book, you talk about the your 6030 10 method that keeps the author's voice authentic while you use uh the the um editing options and create some of the creative office options.
- 7:56Um, I use I use AI as an editor because I think it's you know, sometimes I'll write a paragraph or two, and then I'll go, that just doesn't sound right.
- 8:04And so then I'll ask, you know, have grammarly or you know, one of the other tools kind of say make this stronger or make it clearer to the reader.
- 8:13So I use it as an editor.
- 8:15And for the people that are listening to this, everybody needs an editor.
- 8:18Every single book you've ever read ever has gone through an editorial process with a profess with somebody who's a professional editor that not only edits for things like grammar, you know, commas in the right place, comma before parentheses and question mark, you know, all that grammar sort of stuff.
- 8:37But for flow and for continuity and sometimes the editorial process is is more rigid than others.
- 8:44When I wrote my first book called Foul, F O W L Bird Flu, it's not what you think.
- 8:50I had I hired an independent editor who was the best guy in the world, and I would send him, I don't know, five, six pages, and I thought it was really good.
- 9:00And I'd send it over to Norman and he'd send it back.
- 9:02And it was like taking a diamond in the rough and turning it into something beautiful.
- 9:07And so I would put the two parts of the manuscript up on this screen at the same time and look at what I wrote, and then look at what he wrote, and you know, maybe he changed the sentence structure a little bit, or he added an adverb or something like that.
- 9:21And going through that process, that editorial process is where I really learned how to write and to write better.
- 9:28So, you know, going through an editorial process, every book, every book does that, every one.
- 9:34But I want to hear about your 6030 10 method, so that if you because, you know, if you just have AI just write you a book or write you a paper, you can tell that AI wrote the book or wrote the paper.
- 9:47How do you keep uh how do you use a combination of that to keep your authentic voice?
- 9:53I'd almost change the numbers now because I've gotten even better.
- 9:57Um, you know, what
- 10:00What I say is which I learned early, early on in some of my jobs is content is king.
- 10:07And so what people forget is they think, can you write me a book?
- 10:11And it'll come up with a bunch of chapters or whatever, and it will write a whole book for you.
- 10:17And it looks like garbage.
- 10:19You could see it's AI.
- 10:20And you could see it doesn't have any of the author's authenticity.
- 10:24It's just writing what it wants to write, basically.
- 10:28You know, you give it a prompt and it'll follow your prompt.
- 10:31But when you're putting your heart into something, um, you are putting your story in, you're putting exactly what you want it to do.
- 10:40So I look like I look at it like it's an executive assistant.
- 10:44And there's certain ones that do better than other ones.
- 10:47So I did chat GPT to start, and when I was playing around with different things, I'm like, ew, like this looks like AI to me.
- 10:55This is just not something I use it all the time for prompting or for giving me ideas or for video or for social media.
- 11:05Um, if I'm gonna promote something, it's really, really good for marketing.
- 11:10Um for book writing, I use Claude, and I don't do a whole book.
- 11:15I go in and I write, well, I used to.
- 11:18Now I have a better technique.
- 11:20So at the beginning, I would I would be act like I'm dictating to basically, and it was my secretary.
- 11:29So I'm like back in um, you know, back in when I was 14 years old, I had a spinal surgery.
- 11:37Um, I have a Harrington rod and I have stenosis in my neck on my C3 or C4 C5, and um I had to wear a plaster cast when I was in eighth grade from the my pelvis all the way up to my um shoulder.
- 11:54So I'm writing this in.
- 11:56I'm telling a story about what I went through.
- 11:59During that time, boys used to knock on my chest.
- 12:02My self-esteem plummeted, and I'm I'm dictating this.
- 12:07There's a purpose to this.
- 12:08So I'm dictating this whole history about you know, my mom was called the silver taxi cab and would drive us to the beach, and I would wear a plaster cast and sit with all the surfers and you know, and and gotten a lot of trouble in Hollywood right after that because of my self-esteem.
- 12:26And that's my beginning of my story of uh introduction to something because I had a frequency machine that helped my C4 and C5.
- 12:35So I wrote a book called this frequency code.
- 12:38Well, what does that have to do with the machine?
- 12:41Can you write me a uh a book on the frequency code?
- 12:44No, I'm telling a story.
- 12:46Now I use actual transcription word for word to plug it in, and then I upload a ton of articles and different things I want embedded.
- 12:58So it's really my assistant.
- 13:00It's not it's not doing it for me.
- 13:03I am I'm pretending it's sitting next to me and it is I'm using it as an assistant, not as a writer, if that makes any sense.
- 13:13Yeah, it's good.
- 13:14You know, that's because you have to look at you know, AI is it's it's controversial because it's it just is um on all sorts of different levels, which is a whole nother conversation, but just suffice it to say that there's a lot of things about AI that are controversial.
- 13:33But the truth is AI is here to stay.
- 13:36And if you use it appropriately and you use it like it's a tool, um, it's it's it just speeds up processes.
- 13:44It just takes it just to me, it's just something you use that's just faster.
- 13:48Um, but you always have to double check it.
- 13:50I mean, if you're actually asking for uh and I've told the story before, but um one time I was I was doing a PowerPoint presentation and I wanted a couple of references.
- 14:00It was a PowerPoint presentation on dental health and on oral health and vaccines.
- 14:07So I was looking for a couple of references that talked about the impact of certain vaccines on oral health, your throat, your tongue, your mouth, and things like that.
- 14:17And so it came up, it gave me six references and it gave me PubMed numbers.
- 14:21Now, for the listener, PubMed is you know the archive of all medical literature.
- 14:26If you want to, you know, go read an article or at least an abstract of an article, you can find it on PubMed.
- 14:31And it gives you sometimes when you're reading, if you see the initials PMID, that's the PubMed identification number that is assigned to that article, and you can take just that number and plug it into PubMed and takes you to the article so you can read it yourself.
- 14:48So it gave me six references, and I took the PubMed number and I put it into PubMed because I thought, well, I want to read the article myself.
- 14:56And it took me to an article, uh, an article on astronomy.
- 15:02Oh wow.
- 15:03And then I took the next one down and it took me to an article on regenerative farming.
- 15:08And they, and so then I thought, well, if if I if the PubMed number's wrong, maybe I can find it by the journal, the name of the journal in the year.
- 15:16Well, that didn't exist, it was non-existent.
- 15:19And then I thought, well, maybe I can look it up by the author, because it gave me the offer, and it was all appropriately written out there because for the listener, there are certain styles that you use to write a reference.
- 15:31And so I went to look up the author.
- 15:33The author didn't exist anywhere.
- 15:35And it was the same on all six of those references.
- 15:38The PubNum numbers wrong, the journal didn't exist, and the authors were non-existent.
- 15:43And so that really that was the first one of the first eye-opening things to me that's like you have to you PubMed's or I mean um AI is great as an editor or to help you, like you said, creative ideas, but if it, but if it's uh if you're asking it to look up facts or to be scientific, you need to double check it.
- 16:06Because sometimes it's right, you know, after I yelled at my AI, I said, you know, and I call my AI Chad.
- 16:11Chad, this was you did me the wrong thing.
- 16:14It wasn't right.
- 16:15All these PubMed moments are wrong.
- 16:16Don't ever do that again.
- 16:18Be accurate, take your time, do the thorough research.
- 16:20If you can't find something, say I can't find something, but don't fabricate anything to me.
- 16:25And it came back saying, I'm so sorry, I won't do it again, and it hasn't.
- 16:31And that is exactly the process I do because if I am writing, and I'm like, I said to say this and don't embellish anything, and my voice has to be authentic.
- 16:42And I gave you enough content to write this, and I yell at AI too.
- 16:47So, and but the the thing is is you're right.
- 16:51I edit over and over.
- 16:53The editing process is is the part where I might get the first draft, right?
- 17:00And the first draft is is fine, but I'm going through there, and I am then uh really going through the book piece word by word.
- 17:12I run it through grammarly, I run it through uh Microsoft Word, I edit over and over and over again, like those 92,000 words for a ghostwriting project I'm doing right now.
- 17:24It's word for word because I use transcripts.
- 17:28So the word for word part is completely on point because I I used I interview, I make sure that uh that the voice is authentic, that the that the story comes.
- 17:42If somebody has a story in them, they that with my method, they talk into something, it transcribes exactly what they say.
- 17:51If they're writing a book, it's gonna um take every word that they say, and then it will weave some of maybe the formatting in.
- 17:59Um, and then they go back and they reread it and change it where appropriately.
- 18:04So it's not that you're you're just whipping out something, you're you're still doing a lot of work.
- 18:10I I sat here for 14-hour days for the last three weeks to get 92,000 words out, and I'm not even done yet.
- 18:20And that's from morning when I woke up till 10 o'clock at night, and I'd forget I'd have to eat, you know, because I get low blood sugar, and I'd have to remember to eat because that process you're so intensely into, and you're going chapter by chapter by chapter, you're making sure transitions are right, you're making sure that everything is appropriate.
- 18:43So I am in no way saying that this takes away work.
- 18:47What I'm saying is it will expedite what would have taken you two years to do by hand in the old days, and it will expedite it into a process that is you're able to do as just uh a normal person that's never written a book before.
- 19:07That's really good advice.
- 19:09What do you think the biggest mistakes are that you see in entrepreneurs when it comes to writing a book?
- 19:15I think that they don't do it as the number one mistake.
- 19:18Um I think that they think that they could do without a book, and I think the reason to have a book, they think that this is the biggest mistake of society right now.
- 19:28And I found that this out with the flame with the Mill Creek View.
- 19:32People think newspapers are dead.
- 19:35They think boot books are dead, but you can go into Barnes and Noble and see that it's it's packed of people wanting to read books.
- 19:43There's book clubs, there's the people want the written language.
- 19:48And um, I think the biggest mistake business people think of is technology.
- 19:53And it's kind of a uh a um paradox because I'm saying use technology to write a book.
- 20:00Book, right?
- 20:01Um, but I think the written word and old school things, records, you know, everything that people kind of threw through out and said were no longer useful.
- 20:14I think keeping an archive of written words is super important.
- 20:20I think that your mind reads differently on paper than it does on uh like a Kindle.
- 20:25I think we absorb things differently when it's in our hand and we're off of technology, and it sets you apart.
- 20:33So number two biggest mistake for business people is that they think a book doesn't matter.
- 20:40You just went next level with a book.
- 20:42Your credibility level, I don't care if you're a dentist, I don't care if you're an accountant, I don't care if you're a the a salesperson, I don't care if you're an entrepreneur, a CEO, whatever you are.
- 20:55If you don't have a book, you're missing out because you just took it up next level.
- 21:00You just became the authority over every other single person that's in your field that doesn't have a book.
- 21:08You're now able to walk into a place and and I just had an accountant and she had a book.
- 21:15And her book, um, I can't remember the name of it right now, but it was it was well done.
- 21:22She talked about it at a mixer, like a Chamber of Commerce mixer.
- 21:26And she talked about her book.
- 21:28It was on a part of accounting that nobody would think of.
- 21:32So it really set her apart.
- 21:34It differentiated her.
- 21:36And I took her seriously, and I put her on my website over another accountant that didn't have a book and didn't get back to me, which really like you you need to at least um be open to opportunities.
- 21:52And so books um will set you apart and give you a platform.
- 21:57Then you could get on podcast.
- 21:59If you're uh if you if you're a CEO and you have a book, you have something to talk about now.
- 22:04You, you know, so there's so many reasons.
- 22:07I could go on and on.
- 22:08Well, it's really true.
- 22:10You know, like back in the day, what made you look like a professional was a business card.
- 22:14If you had a professional business card with a professional logo and colors, and and then they got a little bit more fancy and they got electronic, and you know, there was just a whole bunch of things.
- 22:24If you had a business name and a logo, that kind of like made you look professional.
- 22:29But now what you need to really set yourself apart is exactly what you said.
- 22:34You know, your book becomes your your calling card, and it becomes the next most important thing in your business span.
- 22:41Um you also talked about, I mean, what are some of the things that people do wrong or they don't follow through with after they've gone through the process of writing a book?
- 22:51They start and they don't finish, they don't do the editing process right.
- 22:56They um don't even know how to get it on the right platform.
- 23:00Um, they pay way too much sometimes because they're busy.
- 23:05And so they get a ghostwriter and they pay 20,000, 30,000.
- 23:11They don't look at the marketing company right, and they pay all this money not to get it marketed in the right way because they're overpromised and underdelivered.
- 23:21Um, they don't take the time to learn the different platforms.
- 23:26They don't take the time to study.
- 23:28Um, they either need to trust somebody and really vet them to know who they're gonna use to either help them write their book.
- 23:37Um, because I I go stripe, but I don't call I don't really ghost right.
- 23:41I I interview people, so they're actually telling me their story.
- 23:45I'm I'm I'm recording them, and I'm getting every word down.
- 23:49I'm not just trying to be their voice.
- 23:52I want them to be their voice.
- 23:54And so it's super important that you're not just throwing money because it sounds like a big name.
- 24:01The other thing is is thinking you need an agent and thinking we're we're living in a new age.
- 24:07Um, you could go the traditional publishing route and they'll help you market it.
- 24:11And that's one way to go, but at least know your options.
- 24:14Take your time and really look at all the different platforms.
- 24:18I I did that, and I I started with draft to digital, and it did a good job, but you can't do color, and it doesn't go.
- 24:27What I understand is the books um don't the bookstores don't buy the books from that platform.
- 24:32But it goes out to libraries, it goes into Barnes and No, not into, but into the internet space where people could get it through Barnes and Noble through Amazon, through um Kobo, SmashWords, all the different, like all around the world.
- 24:47Um, you know, then you have Ingram Sparks, and they're really picky on AI.
- 24:53So you better make sure that your AI filter is a hundred percent non-AI.
- 24:58That's another mistake is people aren't um they aren't looking at the whole book as being a book.
- 25:05You can use AI, but it can't come across as AI at all, or you'll get kicked off the platform.
- 25:12Um, you won't be accepted.
- 25:14So, but they will Ingram Sparks, um, they will publish it worldwide too.
- 25:21But then KDP, which is Amazon, if it's within Rum Sparks, they won't um they'll say it's out of stock, or they'll take three weeks to get it.
- 25:33So I have a process I teach in my master class on how to format the book, how to get it onto Ingram Sparks or KDB P KDP, or if you just need draft a digital.
- 25:45Maybe you just want an e-book.
- 25:46I did my um my expert to authority book just as a quick guide, just as an e-book for like two bucks.
- 25:54It's a dollar ninety-nine.
- 25:55It is not one of my works of um authorship where like the like the soul factory.
- 26:02That's my heart.
- 26:03That's my soul.
- 26:04That that was about young Yan Psychology, St.
- 26:08Saint Teresa of Villa's Castle, you know, it word for word.
- 26:12It's a I I wanted it woven in beauty.
- 26:15Um, author authority is like do this, ABC, D E F G H I J K, how to do a book.
- 26:23And um, you know, so I did a quick guide that's gonna go with my master class.
- 26:28And if people want it, it's on for 199, and they'll get some tips, you know.
- 26:33So that there's different reasons for different books, right?
- 26:36Well, that's true.
- 26:37Well, hold that thought right there, Nicole.

- 33:54Today we're talking with Nicole Orosco to talk about her new book, about her book, The Expert from X, it's from Expert to Authority, Your Complete Book Publishing Journey.
- 34:05And if you missed the first part of the show, let me tell you a little bit more about our guest, Nicole Orozco.
- 34:10She's an author, publisher, ghostwriter, and a business growth strategist who helps entrepreneurs transform their expertise into books and scalable revenues.
- 34:20Although Archipelago Business Solutions and her proven publishing system through the Archipel Archipelago, let me start that over again.
- 34:29Through Archipelago Business Solutions and her proven publishing system, she equips business owners and public to publish efficiently and reach readers around the world.
- 34:39She's written five books, written ghostwritten numerous other titles, and has a background in psychology, which she brings both strategy and compassion to her mission of helping entrepreneurs create lasting legacies.
- 34:53Speaking of legacies, Nicole, you have a business called Legacy Tree Books that preserves family stories before they're lost.
- 35:01Tell us a little bit about Legacy Tree Books and why it's so important.
- 35:18And I started archipelago, which means kind of bringing islands together.
- 35:24And he's like, you know, I I had an idea 20 years ago.
- 35:30He goes, you go and he goes, There's those books that are like this is my grandma, this is my grandpa, this is my father, this is my mother, and it's journals that people fill out so they have a legacy so their their kids could know about their life, like my grandma's pierogi recipe, right?
- 35:50I I would do anything to get her cabbage rolls and her pierogi recipe, but it wasn't written down.
- 35:57And he goes, and I thought maybe because my family, I bought one for all of them, and nobody did anything with it.
- 36:05Maybe it could be a book, uh, you know, like a legacy book.
- 36:08I'm all we could do that so easy.
- 36:11Like that is a whole company.
- 36:14That's a whole subdivision of Mill Creek View Archipelago, and um, we need to do that.
- 36:21So I put together a website, and I'm using the same process.
- 36:26And what we do is interview people.
- 36:28We just did our first one, so we just started this.
- 36:32And so we interview people and get their story, and it's transcripted.
- 36:39So we could write a book.
- 36:40So it's a ghostwriting project, but by them telling us, so maybe over Zoom or or even in person, and um being able to tell their story.
- 36:50It could be a wedding.
- 36:52It doesn't have to be somebody that's in the hospital in a nursing home, although that that is uh something that would be great too.
- 37:00So it could be a dad just telling his story.
- 37:02People could read it over their every Christmas and read their family story.
- 37:07It could be small, like 5,000 pages, just a little book they could do every year, or it could be a memoir and be, you know, a hundred thousand words or and have their family tree in it.
- 37:18So we did different packages, and um, I'm excited for that project.
- 37:23Um, we're gonna go um talk to some people in different um facilities and kind of give presentations on it.
- 37:31And I think it's gonna go real big, and it'll be in book form.
- 37:36So um it it's a lot easier for them than journaling, but it is emotional, and I think that the psychology part of it has to be compassionate.
- 37:45When you're bringing up old um times, there's happy memories, there's sad memories, there's traumas, and that could trigger people.
- 37:54So I think that it needs to be very, very um the people that we have interview will have to be vetted, um, and probably have some psychological type of um background and able to do it um with compassion and love.
- 38:12Yeah.
- 38:12Yeah, you know, it's interesting because there was a project I was kind of pseudo-involved with.
- 38:18This was probably 10-15 years ago.
- 38:21Um the people we were this project was that um we were wanting to do interviews, video interviews with some of the founding people of the integrated health movement.
- 38:35You know, the health freedom movement that you know were now in their 80s and 90s, and that their history and the battles that they fought to bring the health freedom movement forward and fighting, you know, the cancer industry and fighting the vaccine industry and all this stuff that we wanted to sit down with a camera and just have a conversation and just record their life.
- 38:58And unfortunately, it never took off.
- 39:00And most of those people now have best passed away, some of the founders, you know.
- 39:05Um, because they they had incredible stories that just weren't captured.
- 39:10So this legacy book per family is so important and becomes such an heirloom.
- 39:15I think it's a wonderful idea.
- 39:17Um, because when they're gone, they're gone.
- 39:20You know, that when people are gone, you just don't know like your grandmother or your great grandmother.
- 39:25What was her story?
- 39:26What was her, what was it like when she was growing up and start from what it was like with her parents and if they grew up on a farm or in a you know, whatever it was.
- 39:35I I think those stories, those family legacy stories are so important.
- 39:39I'm so glad you're doing that.
- 39:40I think it's just marvelous.
- 39:43Yeah, I'm excited about that.
- 39:45Um it's it now it's getting the people in place.
- 39:49I can't do it all on my own.
- 39:51So it's gonna be outsourcing and hiring and having people do the interviews, and um, I really want.
- 40:00People to follow my process.
- 40:02So they do it right.
- 40:04And so all the words are authentically preserved.
- 40:07I think that's my biggest in my masterclass that I'm doing.
- 40:13And with reoccurring revenue collective, it's more the marketing piece.
- 40:18And I really want people to do things the right way so they they preserve authenticity through the age of the AI.
- 40:27You're right, it's not going away.
- 40:29And so we might as well learn to use it correctly and learn it to use it as a tool instead of just um uh you know using it in haphazardly ways that um could hurt people and that won't be authentic.
- 40:46So I really want to train people with authenticity on how to use this stuff as a tool is my mission right now.
- 40:52You know, you've said that several times now about preserving the exact words.
- 40:57It's been my experience over many years of doing this also that um the in in English that the spoken word and the written word are two different languages.
- 41:09You know, there have been times when I've done what I thought was like terrific uh presentations, like over the man, and I really hit that one out of the park.
- 41:17And so I would take the recording and have it transcribed, and then I would read the transcription and go, oh my goodness, did I really sound like that?
- 41:25Oh, that sounds terrible, you know, all the hymns and haws and uh's and and maybe the sentence structure is different, and I've learned that that's one of the reasons why foreigners um struggle to learn English, and why it's one of the you know, top three most difficult languages to learn because the written word and the spoken word are different, and when they're studying to learn English, they are learning it from a written format from a textbook, not from a conversational style.
- 41:56Uh how do you how do you capture that and have it be readable?
- 42:01Is there a certain technique or something that you use with that?
- 42:05Yeah, I will take the transcript and and say, please weave this into a narrative that flows good, but keep every word and every thought of the word that is necessary intact.
- 42:21Do not change the tone, do not change the the voice of the person.
- 42:27Um do not embellish, do not add anything, make sure it's authentic, um, but put it in narrative form and and make sure that it it reflects the exact tone of the author and what was intended, and then I go through it and edit, of course.
- 42:49You mentioned sort of just in passing the recurring revenue collective.
- 42:54What is that?
- 42:55And it's a in and why do how do the members you vet your members carefully?
- 43:00How do they join in what is that all about?
- 43:04Well, RRC was um she my partner Lisa is the software, she was a software engineer for 20 years, and she that's where I was failing was the marketing.
- 43:19And for authors, that's once they get the book out, how are they gonna get it noticed, right?
- 43:26And so she's like, Do you want to start a membership club and vet people and we could get their experience?
- 43:34And I said, Yes, absolutely I do.
- 43:38And then I started learning from Lisa, and in three weeks, what we could learn these days is incredible.
- 43:45So I'm excited for this membership club because I have people with all different types of experience that will have webinars, we'll have um coursework, we'll be speakers within it, and we'll mastermine together so we can move forward and for authors, we'll be able to give them a marketing plan.
- 44:05I just did a book that I'm gonna practice because that's been my weak spot.
- 44:10Once you get a book out, you have to be able to get the message, and people need to know your books out there.
- 44:16There's only so many podcasts you could get on.
- 44:19I'm lucky and fortunate to be on your podcast, Dr.
- 44:21Timbani.
- 44:23Um, and when I had a podcast, we had you on, I think there was, you know, almost a hundred thousand views because of who you are.
- 44:31But but the average podcast gets four or five hundred views, you know, on just a little podcast.
- 44:39And it's um essential that you use all the tools.
- 44:43You use the different types of Amazon tools that they have, the keywords.
- 44:48Um, what if you don't have a lot of money to spend?
- 44:51How do you do that?
- 44:52How do you get social media algorithms up?
- 44:55And so those are the tricks and the trades and the the funnels, I would say.
- 45:01And what kind of funnels are working today that didn't work that worked last year that don't work now?
- 45:07And keeping up, it's it's hard.
- 45:09So that's what the RRC is.
- 45:11It's a membership group to learn from each other.
- 45:14And it's the marketing arm.
- 45:16And how would they be how would someone become a member?
- 45:19Well, um, right now you could go to my join Nicola Roscoe with the code um Dr.
- 45:26TRT, and you could get my masterclass, which is super number one is the if you have a book inside of you, which I believe everybody does, even if it's for legacy, you could do it on your own.
- 45:40You don't need to hire me.
- 45:42You can hire me.
- 45:43You don't need to hire me.
- 45:45And so um it that would be $97, which usually I charge 520.
- 45:52And that's because I am giving away information that I'm not gonna give away forever to the world, and I want um people to do it right.
- 46:05And so that is my master class.
- 46:08Then you could join for a dollar for the first month for our new membership club, and that will be for marketing.
- 46:15So it'll it'll give you a lot of information on marketing.
- 46:18I'm learning, I'm learning so much.
- 46:21I do not know this, and I have stepped up my game and leveled up in the last three weeks to levels.
- 46:28I never thought I could.
- 46:30I literally redesigned myself on Facebook.
- 46:33I started getting followers, I've done some super cool advertising and videos.
- 46:38I still put my granddaughter there, but uh but I'm I'm branding me, right?
- 46:44And I'm stepping into my queenhood.
- 46:46I'm stepping into my authentic self and I'm stepping in to um who I know I can be, but that marketing's important.
- 46:55So that's why the RRC, it's a dollar for the first month, 50% off for all the founding members, which will be um through December.
- 47:05So that's for lifetime, and then it will go up to 97 a month, and we vet people because we want it to be a safe space and professional.
- 47:14Very cool.
- 47:15That's very, very cool.
- 47:17You know, another thing that you do is that you help podcasters.
- 47:21We're talking about podcasting, that you help podcasters and nonprofits turn their contents into books.
- 47:28How do you help a podcaster turn their content into books?
- 47:31And how does that process work?
- 47:33Well, for me, um, it was gonna start out as a 10 to 20,000 word book just to make him um just to make this person um, you know, have a book, have be credible, be able to go to speaking events because everybody's always saying, Where's your book?
- 47:51Where's your book?
- 47:52Where's your book?
- 47:53Well, it ended up that there was so much content.
- 47:57He started throwing me all his podcasts, and I'm like, oh, this stuff needs to be in there.
- 48:03I mean, we have you, we have all the doctors, we have all the whistleblowers, we have all the movie stars, we have, you know, all the the Christian movie stars that are patriots that are fighting for the country.
- 48:16We have all of the people that were um fighting for for the um tyranny going on and the gender, you know, all of it, right?
- 48:27And um, I won't name names, but there's so many, so many.
- 48:30I'm like, oh no, this just turned into a hundred thousand word book.
- 48:36Um so literally took a program which is in my master class and um transcribed every single podcast.
- 48:46I sat there every single podcast, word for word for word for word, and made it about um sections, so sectioned off the book into the the doctors, the into the whistleblowers, into the um legacy, you know, the the movie stars and the people that um I forget what we called it, but the the legacy people.
- 49:12We have the um activists, the people who have started from nothing, they were just moms fighting the school boards and started big organizations, you know, those type of of people, and um and sectioned it off into songs, and that's um their voice, and that's how we got it out.
- 49:34And then for a nonprofit, there's one that helps homeless people, and I'm gonna help her with her book, and it's gonna be her voice, it's her chapter.
- 49:43She came up with it, and it will be interviews and the interviews will be transcribed.
- 49:49So I don't take somebody else's.
- 49:52It's not me.
- 49:52It actually does a better job because when I'm getting somebody's voice, I'm able to translate it and I'm able to edit it and I'm
- 50:00Able to get it out to God worldwide to every publisher.
- 50:05I'm able to format it.
- 50:06I'm able to, and I'm able to teach people to do the same thing.
- 50:10And so, but if you don't have time, because it takes a lot of time, then that's when you hire me.
- 50:17So in the few minutes that we have left here together on this podcast today, Nicole, what is your message to someone who has a book inside of them, but they feel overwhelmed.
- 50:28And they'll say, I I've never been a good writer.
- 50:31I was never good in English.
- 50:32Where would you tell them to start?
- 50:35My masterclass.
- 50:37Um, it's $97.
- 50:39It's worth a million dollars, in my opinion.
- 50:42And I don't mean that in an egoic type of um statement.
- 50:46But you'll learn from start to finish.
- 50:49And if not, watch YouTube.
- 50:51Um, go learn, you know.
- 50:54It took me years to learn.
- 50:55You know, I'd say 20 years of of watching so many different videos on how to.
- 51:03Now we have even chat GPT, and you could say, how do I market an Amazon book?
- 51:09And it'll give you how to do it.
- 51:11It's it that's the good stuff.
- 51:13Um, and those are the guides.
- 51:15Those aren't the heartfelt books of legacy.
- 51:19Those are guides, but start learning.
- 51:22And if you just want to fast track, um, get a hold of me or order my uh masterclass.
- 51:28And if you really don't have time, um, hire me and I'll I'll do it.
- 51:33And then I'm gonna start to hire some other people that follow my process because it's gonna get bigger.
- 51:38So just a couple of minutes left.
- 51:41Tell people again, uh, because you put together a special offer for our listening audience here on the 10 penny files.
