    Charnell's eBook Progress Thread [Here we go, it's getting serious!]

    Congrats on both! How do you test the writers before hiring, or do you just hire and then see how it works out? What did you do on AppAnnie?

    Hi! So we've had a few threads about email list building and here is a good strategy for it, resulted in 15000 subs for Nick Stephenson. Read up and do it if you haven't yet! http://noorosha.com/readermagnets/ If you've done similar, would be cool to hear some experiences! Adrijus

    Case Study of New Pen Name Launch

    PUBLISHING 
    I see. Well, to be honest, it's actually good there is such a thing even. If Amazon is giving new books more exposure, even a tiny bit for a month, that is great. Better than 0 sales. Problem is that writing takes long so you can have a new book out every month (unless they are pre-written and...

    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    Maybe he meant that it's better to have few books getting Borrows than one Bundle getting one Borrow. Purely numbers game. Why lose Borrows when combining stuff, instead of multiple options.

    I gotta say I admire the work ethic and production rate! And borrows seem to be doing well already. If you get 30 of them out by Christmas, you'l have what, 30-50 bucks a day just from them alone without promos? That would already be great start! Good luck! P.S. What if you try a series of...

    Asking is not making them answer it.. I don't think it's very smart to share earnings publicly, but sometimes, it's normal to ask in the right tone/intentions..

    Plenty of authors share their earning levels online. Not always exact numbers but still pretty accurate ones.. EDIT: There are also a lot of Earnings Reports online.. even live case studies being shared about earnings like WPCurve.com does and Pat Flynn does etc. Not saying it's smart but it's...
