    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    Fantastic to see such a great update - I've been following this thread for the last two years, from your big breakout. I knew Amazon had introduced that new pages read function last July, and figured sooner or later someone was going to figure how to scam the system. I didn't realize someone...

    "How We Built an Ecommerce Business from Scratch and Generated $922.16 in Revenue in 3 Days"

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Definitely. I had to scroll a ways to find their profit figure, but I think the real value is in showing that it is possible to set something up quickly and actually generate revenue. Some of those channels weren't obvious to me, but I can see ways to take what they did and expand. I wonder...

    "How We Built an Ecommerce Business from Scratch and Generated $922.16 in Revenue in 3 Days"

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Excellent post - I love to read an engaging story that actually has all the links and information on tools that may look obvious to people already in the game, but would probably have taken me any number of months to sort out on my own and become stumbling blocks. I have had an idea kicking...

    Brutally honest opinion needed on this service for small businesses owners

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I counseled small businesses for years and then worked in new product development for a large corporate division that made specific software for small business owners to be more efficient at running their business by displaying relevant information in a dashboard-type layout. A lot of small...

    Offering help to other self-publishers

    PUBLISHING 
    Absolutely to all of this. I know in the past there has been some debate on this forum and with MJ (maybe in the book?) about if self-pubbing was Fastlane and I think it is considered to be so, but with certain caveats (its been a while since Ive read the book!). I spent months considering...

    Those with a 9-5, how much work do you do? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Im about to go back to a corporate gig that is 9-5 but after a year on the sidelines (move, looking for a new job) I am looking forward to the time constraints a bit (not to mention income is nice). I am sort of kicking myself for not getting my side hustles into place over the last year, but...

    Getting From Newbie Author To Freedom

    PUBLISHING 
    Great to see an update jimr! I am in the same city and can't imagine what your train journey is like to lay down 1.7K of words, but kudos for doing that!

    Competing with established companies

    MINDSET 
    That's called finding and offering value. Screws are essentially a commodity product - consumers aren't going to care if you have screw A or B, unless there is a differentiating value proposition. Say a brand like Stanley entered the screw market saying theirs are made with a better alloy that...

    My life sucks, so I'm going to make $1,000,000 in 12 months

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, the income dip over the holidays is a sure sign that time and money are not yet divorced (still in holy matrimony? :P ) You know, if he likes the writing, is clearly good at it and gets results, then the fastlane strategy should be built around this. What are some other streams? There...

    Making $5K a month by August 2015

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry, maybe I missed this somewhere, but are both of you working full time on this project and no one is going to work? You are funding it through credit card debt alone? Also, is it worth translating every product you have to hit an international market when you don't yet have a good idea of...

    Engineer To Author - Journey In To Self-Publishing Books And Courses

    PUBLISHING 
    I tried the Pomodoro method to increase my writing speed and found it actually held me back. Maybe its the type of fiction I am writing at the moment (erotica/e-rom) where you can get on a roll and bang out the better part of a book in two hours and not even notice where the time went...

    I seem to have written a story - now what?

    PUBLISHING 
    Thanks everyone for the helpful replies! Much clearer on the exact steps and all the advice saved me a good few hours trying to suss it out on my own. I guess this will be "my thread" now on self-publishing for stats and what not. A pretty high bar has been set here, but I like a good...

    I seem to have written a story - now what?

    PUBLISHING 
    After weeks and weeks of combing through the awesome threads on this form, a few on the K boards, and doing some light analysis and model building, not to mention a few false starts written out in a notebook, I finally sat down last week and started writing. I intended it to be a short erotic...

    Jumping on the bandwagon

    PUBLISHING 
    I started poking around on Scrivener and then stopped, thinking it was more important to get writing, rather than delay some more with research and analysis. My partner, on the other hand, has been using it to lay out a spy novel and adores the capabilities, especially the note cards, etc.

    How many of you moved from EU -> US?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah, but for the most part I don't find Swedes to be entrepreneurial minded in the global sense, if they get there at all. They are not a risk accepting people. Sure you have the kids that take off for a year in Australia or the US, but they all usually end up running back to Mother Sverige...
