"Go To Class" — Book 2 of The 25 Alpha AI Income Series by Carlton A. James — is available FREE on Amazon KDP starting this week.
If you are a high school student, a parent of one, a school counselor, or a teacher who has a student they cannot figure out how to reach — this book is for you. Download it now. Read it this weekend. Share it with someone who needs it before Tuesday.
Here is what is inside.
The Premise
"Everyone told you to go to class. Nobody told you class could pay you."
This book is not about dropping out. It is not about skipping class. It is about what happens inside the time you already have — the gaps between periods, the weekends, the two hours after school before dinner — and how to turn that time into real income using skills you already carry.
The system does not require startup capital. It does not require your parents' connections. It does not require you to wait until college, until you graduate, until someone gives you permission.
It requires a phone, a skill, and a Friday.
21 Chapters. Each One Starts Friday.
The book is structured around a simple architecture. Each chapter begins with a Friday prompt — a specific, actionable challenge you can execute before Monday. By the time you finish the book, you will have attempted 21 income-producing actions.
The students on the cover — Jaev'han (16, 12+ websites delivered), Mikael (16, 48 NIL projects, 16.8M views), Demi (15), and Tiana (17) — followed versions of this system. They are not exceptional. They are consistent. There is a difference.
Who This Book Is For
For students: If you have been told to focus on school and worry about money later — this book disagrees. Not because school does not matter. It does. But because there is no rule that says learning and earning cannot happen at the same time.
For parents: If you have a teenager who is bored, underutilized, or constantly on their phone — this book gives that phone a purpose. The system is legal, ethical, age-appropriate, and teachable.
For teachers and counselors: If you have a student who you sense has more potential than your classroom alone can hold — share this book. It is free. It costs nothing to pass along something that might change the trajectory of a young person's life.
The Series
"Go To Class" is Book 2 of 3 in The 25 Alpha AI Income Series, published by 25 Alpha LLC. Book 1 establishes the mindset. Book 2 — this book — delivers the system. Book 3, "Nobody Told Us," removes the final excuses.
All three books are available on Amazon KDP. Book 2 is free this week.
