    Self-Publishing Scaling

    PUBLISHING 
    UPDATE: The book has been published for almost 3 weeks now, and I have to say that you really learn the most about your preparation as a publisher once it is published. I am now in the process of defining my book for my audience to ensure that my sales can be optimal. I have learned more...

    UPDATE: It has been a long time since I have been on here, and for good reason! I finished my first book back in the middle of March, and since then I have been delving into deep discoveries of the marketing world and the publishing world! MJ doesn't lie when he says education BEGINS AFTER...

    My Fiction Attempt

    PUBLISHING 
    Don't underestimate the power of KDP Select. With Amazon's book market being the majority of the book sales internationally, focusing on one template and mastering it's economy and flow will be a lot more effective than just posting it everywhere and saying "OK it will sell now."

    My Fiction Attempt

    PUBLISHING 
    I can agree on the fact that you're not impacting as many followers as you could with no starting fan base, but I use it for more than advertising, its a great way to turn that 15,000 into an actual book because now you're committed with a book cover release. I believe once you are published...

    That's really helpful information. Could you give me an example of what a beat sheet is? I'm not quite sure I understand the reference. The first book of the series that I created and will have published next month was using almost no research in its genre, but this second book I'm going to...

    That makes a lot of sense to me. Are there any signs or key points that you look for when you read them? Or is it just truly finding a rough correlation of what makes them similar?

    UPDATE: My book has been done for the past month now, and I'm getting an editor and book cover designer set up to have my book published within the next month! It's been a long journey but there is never a time to quit, and I am already on my way to writing the second book of the series that I...

    Want to get a REAL MENTOR? Swear your undying loyalty first

    PEOPLE 
    This wraps around Napoleon Hill's idea of a Mastermind Group, which is just an awesome display of the teamwork of more than one person where each member contributes a certain way in a certain area. It really fills the gaps when you have a lack of knowledge (weakness) but have expert knowledge...

    !!!!MAJOR UPDATE!!!!: There are exactly four chapters left in my book to write, everyone. I am at 77,000 words and I have already been planning up an idea for the book cover! (PRO TIP: DO NOT be an idiot like me! Many marketing experts recommend working on the book cover and having that as...

    UPDATE: My novel is nearly four fifths of the way complete, with the wrap around resolution coming through pretty smoothly. The book as a whole is going to end out at between 80,000 and 95,000 words, depending on how much I put into these cliff hanging scense and epilogues leading into the...

    I love them. I'd be willing to pay money for one of yours if you could help design a specific picture I had in mind.

    A Dire Need for Resources

    PUBLISHING 
    My story length is going to clock out between 80,000 and 95,000 words! And yes I'm looking for someone who can create a good book cover, or at least interpret my ideas onto paper. This was a lot of help! I've definitely been using this forum as a resource but haven't been able to find where...

    A Dire Need for Resources

    PUBLISHING 
    I've been writing like a madman these past couple of weeks, and I will soon post more information about my writing progress in my progress thread. But this is a different topic entirely. I've realized as I've come close to the finishing of my novel that I am lacking many resources and assets...

    Calling All Authors and Self-Pub'rs

    PUBLISHING 
    I've actually been working on a website design for a website that serves this exact purpose. It's a meeting place to discuss/share/promote your writing and get yourself known and edited by other writers. I wouldn't mind you using the site design or name if you'd like MJ, I know your purpose...

    Mastermind Groups Forming

    MEETUPS 
    This is similar to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" philosophy that discussed the infinite intelligence brought about harmonizing two or more minds into a single goal. It's actually quite incredible how it works, and I definitely think that innovating with another creative machine running...

    Self-Publishing Scaling

    PUBLISHING 
    UPDATE: After taking a long look through the various self publishing progress threads and stories here on the forum, I've definitely decided that to make something that can scale easily and add more leverage, a book series would allow more revenue to pull through. I've made major changes...

    Trouble Sleeping - Haven't Slept For 2 Days

    MINDSET RANT 
    It was very hard for me at the beginning. Really the key of making it work for you is to let go of what is truly ridiculous and what's not, and just let your brain do what it loves to do. Imagine those dreams you get when you wake up in the morning, and everything you remember was such an...

    Trouble Sleeping - Haven't Slept For 2 Days

    MINDSET RANT 
    Most of my best writing is at night whenever I can't sleep. It's just about keeping your filter off and being open to your creative mind at any time of the day, because even when you aren't working, your brain always will be.

    That is definitely true! I think it is awesome to see a guy my age doing great stuff like this. I turned eighteen not two weeks ago, so it feels good to have other people join the minority. Fiction is something that I'd like to get out there at first. A word of advice for you though is that...
