    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Update: I published my 5th book today under my second pen name. I think I'm going to just stick to publishing with my first pen name until I get about 10-12 titles out because I've made 95+ of my money from that first pen name. My 4th book that I published about a week ago was doing relatively...

    EXECUTION 
    You should definitely give it a try and see how it goes. You never know until you try! As for calibre giving me issues, they are just a few minor issues like having the spacing between the sentences and text either a bit too close or too far. I've ironed most of the issues out already so I don't...

    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Sorry for the lack of an update. I've been busy dealing with some stuff from my BS job and my parents hounding at me for not getting a regular office job like everyone else. I thought I would update this thread as soon as I published my fourth book but its taken a lot longer than I...

    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Its been about 1.5 weeks since my book went live. I didn't know what the heck I was doing at first, and just used 2 of the 5 free days in KDP select. Surprisingly I got 1 sale right off the bat before my book became free. I got 37 free downloads and then I started to see sales averaging...

    Funny you should mention this, I just purchased the exact same pack from appsumo like 5 minutes ago haha. This will last me a while now. Hopefully I can make back my investment soon. I also found a great site for grabbing background images for free that has a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license...

    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Update: I just published my first novella on kindle about an hour ago. Man was this a lot of work, but still I can't believe I went from just talking about writing a novella to actually creating an actual book in about a months time. The learning curve has been difficult and steep but I learned...

    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Its a romance erotica, not purely erotica, although I would like to make the switch over to pure erotica later. I haven't even thought about the title keywords yet nor have I come up with a book title yet :( I'm assuming words like "fu8Ked or nailed or rammed" would be considered too explicit...

    What is considered too much skin? Would something like these be considered too much skin and be slapped with the adult rating? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RXZXOWQ/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NVEPIZE/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20...

    EXECUTION 
    I wouldn't say its pure erotica/porn. Its just two consenting adults having sex a few times inside of a story, that's all. I might be overthinking things and being a bit paranoid. I guess I'll pick photos that have a couple in an implied sexual position for my cover or try to keep their faces...

    EXECUTION 
    I ended up downloading the free 30 day trial of photoshop. I'm going to try and learn as much as I can and if its worth it, I might pay for a monthly subscription. I think its about $30 usd a month if you pay monthly. My budget is very tight at the moment as I'm just starting out and barely make...

    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Update: I finally finished writing my book. The book ended up being around 12,500 words. A little bit more than I wanted but its alright for my first book. I did 1 rewrite of the story because I wasn't too happy with the plot, and then edited it and proofread it twice. I'm a bit of a...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for this great advice. I will definitely add in the mailing list links to the front and back of my book and about your advice with the KDP Select, I will give it a trial run with my first couple of books just to test things out.

    Journey into the world of self-publishing

    EXECUTION 
    Update: I've been very busy with work and haven't had much time to work on my ebook, plus I feel like I've been procrastinating for a bit but I eventually pushed through it and finally finished writing the first draft of my ebook tonight. I'm not particularly too happy with the conflict that I...
