    Oh dear, I've left this and thus have a lot to report.....but as I'm busy will summarize. I re-branded that book and.......I was right..been selling really well. I'm about to start part two. I really recommend taking a look at what is working and then applying it to the books that are lagging...

    Ok, have been meaning to drop by. I am doing pretty much exactly the same thing as you except: different genre and I'm not selling consulting services. But I am writing non-fiction and (about to) upsell digital products; memberships/newsletters/downloads from a website. I've gotten pretty far...

    Hi, i have just brought dl guard and am about to get started...i have loads of old stuff that I made ages ago that I'm looking to upsell from by books. Have also been mulling over the idea of a subscription service rather than a one off payment. Would appreciate it if I could ask the odd...

    Having trouble making small talk; I don't care about other people

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    Of course I don't know your full situation. But two things strike me about this 'interesting' problem. 1) I think you are right, it may have backfired. One of the results of true self development will be 'Humility'. Humility doesn't usually manifest as disinterest. 2) I'm pretty impressed that...

    If anyone else is doing non-fiction (with the emphasis on showing someone 'how to' do something) this is what i've discovered. Tight Focus/Broad Use 1) If you are teaching skiing then tightly focus on a widely recognized aspect of that field...like tricks. 2) Is what you are writing about in...

    This is very wise advice, which is why I didn't do it! Actually I am planning something similar for my next book, but with this one I changed the focus so that affected everything. I am monitoring what is happening and already the effect has been x5 ..very interesting

    Ok no silly videos; I know they are frowned apon. But I'm doing something interesting that I thought warranted a quick update. Basically I have had a bit of a scattergun approach to what books I write and how they are 'presented' ie marketed. Anyway I spent a long time going through all my...

    Great progress. I've been thinking about this 'getting up early' business I keep hearing about (I don't even own an alarm clock). How is it working out for you? Are you finding it is easier to be productive? Are you still sleeping the same amount and going to bed earlier. Interested to hear...

    My Take on Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    I think you may find this boils down to 'risk'. On the ISBN website they specify that the 'publisher' is the party which takes the financial risk and not necessarily the author. Obviously the OP will have a better answer but that's my guess.

    Enjoyed this vid. Nothing to do with my update though.... Update: Well it's been a while. Actually I've reached something of a cross roads and needed time to reflect on where I was taking this. My publishing career was a mistake. I hope my readers don't think that, but there you go. By...

    Happy Birthday! Gotta, say pretty impressive at any age but 18?????!!! Well done Sir. Have a quick question: in your post you mention releasing different books under different 'accounts'. Do you mean actually different amazon accounts? If so; why do you do this and how do you do it?
