    Thanks for the support guys! UPDATE: I've about started to pick up my word count again. My word count ever since the injury has been quite slow but it seems that today I caught a bug randomly in the mindless amounts of words that I was putting together and then started piecing together nice...

    Turning fiction into a business opportunity

    PUBLISHING 
    I usually try to have my title and description already done before I even start on the outline. I usually get a few good ideas and from there I tinker with what I feel best describes what I want to write about the most. It's either that or if you want a very calculated approach and aren't...

    Haha thanks :) Hows your book coming along? I noticed your thread and was meaning to sub to it. Thanks :) Haha. Can't say i'm not excited but also looking down at the lack of down time i'll have working on the business. I feel like I have to work even harder now that I have a child coming.

    All i'm doing is writing more books. I'm taking the DWS's way of marketing. I agree with him when he says that the only way to market a book is to just keep writing. The writing itself will give you more exposure via more books in amazon. But from the looks of the route you're taking...

    Yea I realized. I noticed that my first book has gotten only 2 sales and 41 free downloads from my free promotion. 1 good review and 1 ok review. I know that many success writers have said to ignore it so I'm choosing to do just that. Regardless if it's a good review or bad review. Haha yea I...

    Long time without an update I know. So far I've gotten the first part of my outline for my next book. Pretty excited for the next book honestly. It seems that my 2nd book has gotten a purchase with a refund immediately as well. Seems like they're finishing my book really fast and returning...

    Update #8: Just uploaded my stuff to Smashwords for a different venue. I couldn't help but realize that my last novella is #8 in it's keyword for a sub niche. Yet still no sales. Perhaps it's because I priced it at 2.99 or it could be the cover. Outlined about 5 books for a series of my last...

    Update #7: PHEW! Published my 2ND Book. MAN does it feel good :) I decided to mock up my cover and I felt it looked good. I'm going to test it out and pay for one from Fiverr. If my cover doesn't sell for about a week or two, I'm going to use one that I'm going to buy from Fiverr and test that...

    Wow that's interesting! I have to put that on my to read list after I finish off my current deadlines. Hmm not much design background but I've tinkered with Photoshop and gimp in the past. I'm definitely trying to do it on a minimum budget. I currently try to keep my titles simple and to the...

    Question: do you guys suggest getting a cover paid for on Fiverr ? Or is it better off learning how to do it on my own ?

    Update #5: Finished up my novella. Now off to proofreading and creating a cover. Is anyone having any problems with keywords and titles? I've been trying to analyze and come up with some key words that make books in my genre and niche popular. So i've been identifying words that trigger my...

    It does. Either way i'm sure you'll be fine. I don't see why in the future we can't have writing collaborations in general with other writers in the forum. It would be pretty cool to collective create stories. But then the issue of money comes into play once more :( Haha yea! I try to squeeze...
