Hi, Reader!

If you missed it, my session was on Day 1.

This weekend, ALL of the sessions are available for free!!

Go catch up while you can.

It's only free for a few more days.

Can you believe that we're already halfway through September?

That we're in the BER months?!

2027 is just around the corner.

If you're already thinking about the new year, good for you!!

That's a great thing to do.

But you still have 3.5 months left to make 2026 your year.

It’s my year, too - and I’m going BIG.

Which is why I’m speaking at the Brew Your Book Summit hosted by bestselling author Kim Galloway.

Kim has brought together 30+ experts for an energy-filled, coffee-shop-style summit.

You won’t hear any pre-rehearsed, tired pitches, or presentations you've already seen or heard elsewhere.

I'm really proud of my session, since it shares everything you should do before you write or publish a book.

So if you haven't even written one page yet, this is for you too.

And if you have written a book or two, don't worry there's loads of good stuff for you too.

You’ll leave the Brew Your Book Summit with concrete strategies for every step of the book process - from idea to writing to publishing - and beyond!

​
​

Join us and learn:

✅ What NEVER to do in your book marketing (unless you want to tank your sales!)

✅ The single, fastest, easiest way to write your book’s first draft.

✅ The truth about building (and using) an author email list to sell more books - chances are, you’ve never thought about it like this!

This 100% free event runs from September 21 - 25 (with a bonus Expert Roundtable on September 29) - and YOU need to be there.

It kicks off Monday, September 21

Oh, and I have it on good authority that Kim gives extra free goodies to people who take action early and get registered BEFORE September 21!

So go get in there!!

Talk soon,
Brittany V

P.S. if you're curious about where I've been, what I've been up to, and how I have a brand new account blowing up on TikTok (including what you can learn from that), keep scrolling and read below...

______________

TIKTOK!!

WHAT A WILD RIDE.

​I started a brand new TikTok account just 2 weeks ago, and I'll be at 5,000 followers before you know it. 10k shortly after that.​

This screenshot is from a couple of days ago.

But since then, a few more videos have gone viral, and I'm pretty sure I'll be at over 5,000 followers by the end of this week.

This is a big deal, too - because once you get to 5,000 followers on TikTok, you're eligible to become a TikTok Shop Affiliate.

And THAT is where you can make some real money from the platform!!

Of course, this is on top of:

• Growing your email list
• Sales for courses and memberships
• Selling on TeachersPayTeachers
• Providing services like consulting and coaching

​Everyday Historian is another project I've been working on for just over a year.​

It DOES have a TPT store to go with it, too... so best believe I'll be sharing how it's all working together!

In case you missed the longer announcement I made about this, or the TikToks on my Brittany Verlenich account, I just uploaded a longer version to YouTube.

​

Hi btw, Reader!!

I got too excited and I just dove right into it (I think that's my whole personality in a nutshell).

​Brittany here from Verity Media.​

For the first time IN YEARS, I'm creating and selling on TPT again - on top of all of the workshops I'm creating for you guys.

It feels so good to have my mojo back.

2024 and 2025, I was doing okay but I also just felt so hopeless about the world.

Now, I've realize the world is going to continue to feel hopeless unless and until I do something about it.

How am I doing that?

Well, helping lovely people like you, of course!! 🫶🏻

But I was really missing being involved in education.

I also just CAN'T SHUT UP. 😆

And it turns out, TikTok loves that!

So I've been documenting my own journey to and through grad school.

But something really changed 2 weeks ago when I decided to share all of the FREE and FULLY FUNDED grad school programs I was finding (turns out there are a ton of them).

I believe nobody should have to pay for higher ed, and, especially now in the U.S., it makes sense why it's doing so well.

What is that one hot take for you?

What is a core belief that you could build your whole brand and business around?

Or, if you've been chomping at the bit to talk about something that DOESN'T fit perfectly with what you've been doing, what is that one thing?!

This might be the confirmation you need to make a TikTok account about it.

BTW - Substack pairs PERFECLTY with Substack.

Over 125 subscribers organically from TikTok!

​I'm documenting EVERYTHIIIING inside of the 10k TikTok Lab.​

That link above will take you to the program on Thrivecart.

​But if you're selling on TPT, you might prefer to get the version I have here on TeachersPayTeachers.​

Whether you grab this now, next week, or never, I hope you feel inspired to get started on TikTok - because we just don't know how long this window is gonna be open for.

See some of you in there!!

I can't WAIT to give you feedback on your TikTok accounts, and to see you all go viral.

Talk soon,

Brittany
