    How to test market without the product?

    MARKETING 
    Thank you! Your advice was very helpful. :) I contacted 5 of the companies in China if they would allow me to use their photos and if they could email me the full res without the watermark. One said no and another already sent me photos of their entire stock.

    How to test market without the product?

    MARKETING 
    I found a fashion item that I think would sell well. It's a niche product and has a lot of variety/options to build on. I don't want to order any upfront but will if I have to. I was wondering what is the best way to presell a product without having it in stock to test the market? Should I take...

    Also I've been really disappointed with ghostwriters that I worked with. They all started off great and mid-book the work went completely downhill. One book that should have taken 3 weeks took the writer over 2 months due to constant personal issues. I was understanding at first but eventually...

    It's been a while since I've posted any updates, life has been crazy hectic. I have since published 4 books but sales have been extremely low and 1 book hasn't made a single sale in 2 months. My first book continues to sell here and there but it's not a lot. Past few months I have been busy with...

    I have not posted any links anywhere or shared with friends/family...they would never understand or approve. This book is under romance suspense. :)

    Nope, I don't know anything about my buyers, everything goes through Amazon. I only know which countries have sales by looking at my royalty payment report. So far all sales have been from US, UK, and Canada. Since publishing I have made at least 1 sale every single day.

    I have sold 5 more copies. I have no idea how people are finding my book as I have not shared it with anyone. I still haven't done anything with my social media pages either. It's been tough making time between my fulltime job and being a single mom. So far no reviews or subscribers to my...

    On a side note, I have read so many hilarious samples when looking for a ghost writer....oh the entertainment. Example: "I chomped on her big juicy milk jugs." I almost peed myself from laughter when I read that. Chomped? Really? :)

    Thank you and good luck to you! It feels amazing to finally hit publish as you will find out when you are ready to take that step yourself. I am a huge romance/erotica fan which probably helps with knowing what the market wants. :) Often I will browse through stock photography to get...

    Not yet. :) I am about 5k words into book two which is the 2nd book in the series, and then there will be a 3rd book. Then I think it will take me at least 2-3 weeks to edit the 3 books I outsourced. By then I should receive 3 more books. I have already designed covers for my 3 book series and 2...

    Thank you! It may sound simple but it was far from that. I published a juice and smoothie recipe book a few months ago but had no experience with fiction. The book that I published, I have had that story in my mind for over 5 years. I had many other stories that I would randomly come up with...

    Woohoo! Feels so good to type that! This is my first novel that I have written myself. The genre is romance/erotica and it is slightly over 30k words. Facebook, twitter, and mailing list have been set up. I have purchased the domain for this pen name. I chose to use a pen name for privacy...

    @Erock87 has there ever been an incident where you did not pay your freelancer after receiving their work? Lets say it is poorly written, story doesn't make sense, or whatever other reason...
