    Day 345-351 Sale, giveaway I opened my amazon kdp dashboard to see our first print sale, hurray! I thought this was one of my beta readers who requested I set up a print version, but turns out they hadn't bought it yet because they were waiting for payday. So two sales? I've given away over 65...

    HOT! INTRO 
    Day 338-344 Sale, TikTok restrategy, giveaways After getting about 200 viewers to the website, someone bought a copy (a conversion rate of about 0.5%). I believe the reason for this is due to adding 'how' the user would get the benefit into the copy. Right now, my aim is to make content that...

    Day 331-337 Paperback request, giveaways, recommendations(?) One of the early beta readers of the book wants a paperback edition. They are happy with the results the book's given them.

    That's an advanced perspective for sure, I wasn't even thinking of future books! Thanks to Miketing I did implement the suggestion of the 'Download' button leading to the first few chapters and that led to about 60 email subs. I didn't really consider offering a discount but that would probably...

    Day 324-330 Low Traffic, Write a useful book - 600 copies My website receives about 10 visitors a day, at a conversion rate of 0.5%, it's no dice for a long while.

    After the storm, comes the calm. My words may not mean much but, take all the time you need to heal. Rome wasn't built in a day. It was built brick by brick until it became known for what it is today. Whenever, take it brick by brick and don't think of step 3 before you've taken step 1. Start by...

    What exactly is money anyways?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    All great answers here. I believe money is a (good) store of value. Different people want different things. I want cheese. You want milk. He wants vegetables. They want to become xyz, she wants abc done to her roof. People value things. These valuables are mostly in the hands of other people...

    All good points. As for Tiktok, closest I've seen yet are digital products (e.g. courses and ebooks) being advertised for. But I've also seen poem (non fiction) books get advertised for and seen success. Mine is a self improvement book in the relationship category. Yeah I was thinking of...
