BTS033, Opting out of KU, My First Free Promotion on Kobo, and Outlining a Short Story

The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

Send us a text

In June, I made the decision to opt out of Kindle Unlimited, and I don’t regret trying it out. Due to this experience, I’ve learned a few valuable lessons which I will put into practice for another series. While I’m on the topic of lessons learned, I also changed my focus from sales to getting more book reviews. And I share the steps I plan on taking to make this happen.
Even though I’m shifting my focus to book reviews, I share the results of the book promotions I’ve paid for throughout the month. Now, on to the writing-related news. In preparation for the launch of book two, I decided to write a new reader magnet for my mailing list.
During the month, I outlined a short story in the James Lalonde universe. And I made progress on the rewrites for James Lalonde, book two, and I’m finally sharing the title and cover over on the blog post with you. On top of all of this, I’m making a special announcement at the end of the episode.
