    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Glad to see your progress Aimee, my curve started off like yours, back around June. I pivoted to outsource model, and now back to to writing again and keeping the outsource model as well. I'm now on iteration 3. I think it's really important to nail down the writing. When I started, I didn't...

    They say in entrepreneurship, one should bottle the days of success to withstand the days of failure. The above wolf post was during a day that I saw my first 1k. I will never forget that day. Fast forward to now and i'm still at it. I've had a lot of similar days, but a lot more days of...

    PUBLISHING 
    KU helped me jump to 1k on my third month, and KU had fueled my decision to pursue writing fast lane. I didn't know how a plot worked when I started, and guess what, because of the borrows, I think I'm now a decent writer (still working on the plotting skills though). KU allowed me, a cluless...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm running the same model as you, Ziva, even our time frame and amount of books are similar. Although I have not popped the 100 mark. Question: how do you evaluate the key word ranking of your books? Regarding decline. I also had a decline at around the same time. I question if maybe adding...

    Seems legit. How much time do you give a ghost writer to develop a book? (ie. week) How much are you paying the editors? Ballpark on word-count? How much time are you devoting on market-research as opposed to finding talent? (ballpark %) How do you make sure the ghost used unique content...

    As I said, I'm not knocking the hustle (never hate the game, gents), as I'm sure i'll learn something from your course. Do you have a module list already developed? I want to see what you have in terms of market researching the categories.

    1.) How many books do you have out there? 2.) Are you in non-fiction or fiction? What are the percentages of your 5k are from each? 3.) Are you writing yourself or outsourcing? 4.) I'm thinking this is not just for cooking books, but if it is -- are you doing any marketing for your books...

    Btw, just learning to write a flippin 10k word book is good enough barrier already. Sitting a$$ down and writing is barrier. Not making sales is a barrier. Heck, speaking English is a barrier. I'm not sure what barrier you guys are complaining about. //damn it got sucked in. Back to writing...

    I told myself i'd stay away from this conversation, why would I anyways when I am not making 10k/month like you guys. For the small guy like me, who is just starting out, this whole Amazon business is GODSEND. Realize that the barrier of entry is occurring from the TOP and from the BOTTOM...

    I've made 20 aussie dollars in this endeavor. But I don't think that's it. Maybe bc my time is USA time, and a big chunk of my readers are from the UK. But there's always a borrow (or sometimes a sale) from tomorrow. So it's either KDP is lagging or it's the British buyers. I love you British...
