My Checklists
Over 101+ Essential Business Checklists To Build, Launch, Market & Grow Your Business
My Checklists is Bart Smith’s practical collection of 106 business, marketing, publishing, website, content creation, AI, productivity, video, email, social media, and entrepreneurial checklists designed to help people get organized, take action, avoid mistakes, and complete important projects faster.
Whether you’re writing a book, building a website, launching a product, growing an email list, recording videos, creating content, using AI, promoting your brand, outsourcing work, planning a webinar, building authority, or growing a business, this book gives you step-by-step checklists you can use to move from “Where do I start?” to “Here’s what I need to do next.”
INTERVIEW INTRO
Most people don’t fail because they lack ideas. They fail because they don’t have a clear process for turning those ideas into completed projects. They start websites, books, videos, products, courses, podcasts, marketing campaigns, social media plans, email lists, and business ideas — but somewhere along the way, the details pile up, the steps get fuzzy, and momentum slows down.
That’s why Bart Smith created My Checklists. This book gives entrepreneurs, authors, coaches, consultants, creators, speakers, service providers, and small business owners a practical library of checklists they can use to plan, organize, launch, market, and grow their projects with more confidence.
Inside the book are 106 checklists covering business startup, advertising, AI content creation, AI productivity, prompt engineering, analytics, audience building, audio recording, author websites, book writing, book marketing, email setup, email broadcasting, email list building, interviews, landing pages, lead magnets, media kits, online courses, outsourcing, personal branding, productivity, podcasting, public speaking, sales funnels, self-publishing, short-form video, webinars, website building, website traffic, YouTube, Zoom, and much more.
Instead of trying to remember every step from scratch, readers can use My Checklists as a project companion — something they can open whenever they need structure, direction, reminders, and momentum.
BART'S BIO + INTRO
Bart Smith is the author of 35+ books, including My Checklists, a practical collection of 106 business, marketing, publishing, website, content creation, AI, productivity, video, email, social media, and entrepreneurial checklists.
For over three decades, Bart has worked as an author, publisher, book coach, business coach, website strategist, designer, marketer, and online content creator. He has written books, built websites, created marketing campaigns, recorded videos, produced training materials, helped clients publish books, developed business systems, and used checklists throughout his own work to stay organized and get projects finished.
Bart created My Checklists because business owners, authors, coaches, consultants, creators, and entrepreneurs often know what they want to accomplish, but they don’t always know the next step to take. His goal with this book is to give readers a practical, plain-language checklist library they can use to reduce overwhelm, avoid missed steps, delegate better, and make steady progress on the projects that matter most.
