Guest Post - Inspiring Kids to Spread Love with Children’s Book Author & Pharmacist Dr. Sonia Amin

With February being a month we celebrate LOVE, I wanted to focus on how we can spread more love through the power of kindness and generosity while practicing wise financial habits. We should not underestimate the power of kindness and generosity. Studies have shown that being kind and generous improves our overall happiness and well-being and can lead to better financial outcomes

No more bake sales, it's time to get creative! 3 Ways Being in a Pageant taught me about Crowdfunding

Now, kids have more opportunities than ever to reach their goals. They can use companies like Piggybackr or Kickstarter to raise funds for their projects. They can reach out to just about anyone for help via social media. They can also leverage the resources of their parents, friends, local businesses, etc. In the era of COVID, instead of going door-to-door or having fish fry’s like I did. Kids can use the internet and social media to reach far and wide audiences! So when your child has their next fundraiser, you can be well equipped to supporting them!

Costs of Self-Publishing a Children's Book

Did you know children’s books can cost up to $10,000, if not more?
