    Building a Fiction Empire

    EXECUTION 
    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: 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...

    Writing an e-book

    QUESTION 
    Recently I started writing an e-book on the topic of self-improvement. More specifically, it is more about young men in this weak, modern-day society and how to improve themselves in it. In my opinion, it is a complete guide on masculinity (but not Andrew Tate-like) and finding purpose in your...

    Using BookBub for Book Promotion...

    RANT 
    This is more of a rant, but if you want to comment on your BookBub experience, please do so. I've had TMF featured in BookBub once a few years back as a "loss leader" to find new readers. Then I tried to get Unscripted featured three times, and despite hundreds of reviews, continue to get...

    Supa's Novel Writing & Self-Publishing Progress

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everybody! This first post in this progress thread won't be super exciting, as I'm currently in the planning phase of a series of novels and there's not much to write about that. I decided a while ago to write a novel. I know, I know, who doesn't right? That's one of the main reasons I...

    Regarding Language used in Self-Publishing

    I've been sitting on the idea of creating a publishing house explicitly so I'm able to protect my literary work. Both present and future. Although my primary and only focus is on my freelance work that could turn into a full-scale business, I've found that I enjoy writing on my "down time" so...

    What Do You Think of This?

    I have recently published a short step by step guide ebook (35-pages), which guides you on how to properly work on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The major pitfall of MTurk (as it's called), is there is so much crappy work mixed in with the decent tasks available. So it is the norm for an untrained...

    How to Use Book Marketing to Grow Your Business (a Less Common But Powerful Strategy)

    GOLD! HOT! MARKETING 
    As a businessperson, you might think that writing books is for artists or those “do what you love” daydreamers fooling themselves they can turn their little hobby into a business. And nothing could be further from the truth. Have you ever heard about Keller Williams Realty? They’re one of the...

    Writing my first Non Fiction eBook

    EXECUTION 
    Hey all, After silently reading in this forum for a couple of months, I feel it is time for my own Execution Thread. So here I go. ABOUT ME I went the typical slow lane so far. Went to university, got a marketing degree, did a traineeship (ridiculous pay) and stayed with the same company...

    Results...Finally!

    EXECUTION 
    Back in late 2010, I threw my hat into the writing/self-publishing ring. A friend had used a self-publishing service to get his first book into print, and it seemed like a good idea to test out. Needless to say, I knew nothing about marketing books or marketing anything at the time. I made many...

    From Zero to Six-Figure Author: Lessons Along the Way

    INTRO 
    edited for privacy :) If you're reading this and you're interested in self-pubbing, I'd say: (1) pick a genre you enjoy. I know this is unconventional, but enjoyment shows through your writing. You can profit in any genre if you're good at it, unless the genre is completely obscure or...

    Uncommon Publishing Results Require Uncommon Action

    PUBLISHING 
    I am a product marketing guy, but book launching and marketing is different. Many of the tricks of the trade that are used in physical product marketing don't apply to book marketing, and many successful strategies for book publication don't apply to the physical products industries. I tasked...
