    audio-books vs radio-plays

    PUBLISHING 
    Check the sample here: http://www.audible.com.au/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Mist-Audiobook/B00FGDYWAK I think it's called "full cast"/"dramatized" or something like this :P Obviously needs more money to get produced, but it's awesome.

    Self Publishing Progress

    PUBLISHING 
    You can have 3 pen names per author central account (you can 'leagally' create more accounts on different e-mail addresses). When you add a book in Author Central with different author name, there should be pop-up about adding a new pen name. For keyword research you can check free videos...

    It's "book publishing business", there are many parts of the system, it's not Kindle only. Yea, non-fiction. Romance paperbacks earned me $17.57 in July :blackeye: But as mentioned before, I've done them poorly, and they were targeted at KU 1.0.

    @Glacier KDP $817.27 Createspace $1908.55 Last month I sold 328 copies on Kindle, 24091 pages read, 451 paperbacks. All of my books have paper version, I don't know why most of the "Kindle" authors don't do the paper version. They are going through teached schemes and courses, they don't do...

    @Glacier - 70%, as I get $5.20 per book. And much less on Kindle... I think I should try and increase prices on Kindle, but I am scared that number of sales will go down and I could lose #1 Bestsellers tags.

    Transferring Rights to Illustrations

    PEOPLE 
    Hi! I need commercial rights to illustrations from a freelancer whom I hired. Is the fact that I have written it in the job offer enough? (freelancer.com, upwork, guru) Or should I ask him to sign something? I have found this...

    @Cesare I don't think you can post with a fanpage on groups. I use normal account, which also does not have anything business related in its name. The only call to action there is book download link, I make it simple with a catchy one liner and of course image is a must.

    @webcomber I only "touched" fiction so I don't really have any meaningful stats. Those 4 short stories have 3500+ words each and they are priced at $0.99 each. They cost me around $170. They are selling from time to time, slooowly getting it back, but this was bad idea. They are simply too...

    Haha, this is how coaching works, people usually know what's best for them more than the others. Work on a good plan, set boundaries for each chapter like you said. If you think something is not going as intended, sit with the plan again. Transitions does not really matter that much in first...
