With some self-publishing success in the past (under various pen names), I've started releasing novels under my real name in 2024.
The plan:
Thank you for reading!
(It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this forum. In 2021, my wife and I had our first child and a second one arrived in 2023, so I’ve had my hands full. Now things are calming down, and I finally have the time to commit to this project.)
The plan:
- Publish on every platform possible (83% of the books in the sub-genre I’m publishing in are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited!)
- Release a book a month for the first three months, then offer a box set in October. Begin releasing every two months while building a backlog of books.
- $10/day FB ad spend from launch. All revenue goes back into ads as I launch new books. Scale up ads that are proving to be profitable (using attribution data).
- Provide value to fellow writers via private FB groups.
- Outlined and wrote first 5 books in the series. Book 1 has been launched in ebook and paperback formats. All covers, blurbs, editing, and formatting for Books 2-4 is complete. Ordered proofs and early reader copies for Books 2-4. Getting everything set up for the first Box Set as well.
- Set up web site, newsletter sign up form & auto responder, and social media accounts.
- Set up an Etsy shop for ebooks and paperback. I'm also set up at Amazon, Barnes & Noble Press, Kobo, and Google Play. Distributing to all other platforms via Draft2Digital.
- Prepared marketing creatives for FB ads and launched first FB ads (testing using Dynamic Creative). Ran a week-long Kobo promo on their site. Applied to an upcoming Apple promo.
- Distributed ARCs.
- Joined several FB groups for authors in my genre and have been focused on providing value daily.
- Second draft of Book 5
- Outline Book 6
- Book 2 release
- Analyze data from advertising and test new ads
