    How to Answer the 'What Do You Do for a Living' Question

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    LOL This reminds me about Tim Ferriss who used to answer that he is dealing drugs for fun and profit. By the way, I see that you are from Estonia? One of my favorite start-ups named Toggl is from Estonia. Their software is known globally and I use Toggl by myself. It is a simple time-tracking...

    Facbook advertising for your ebook

    PUBLISHING 
    I tried paid advertisement on Facebook. It did not work for me though. In my opinion people are on Facebook to hang out, not to buy products and will therefore less likely click on ads. What I did try as well is looking for groups that are related to my books (my first book was a how-to). Then...

    Hey r6203, Thanks mate, questions are welcome as we are here to help each other. My books are written in German only. Germany is the second biggest market for Amazon after US. But I am considering if I should translate my books in English or not in the future. I have not decided yet.

    So I got FIRED yesterday...

    HOT! 
    Are you kidding? I fired my boss. When I handed in my resignation letter, it was the best day of my life! There are many examples of people who became entrepreneurs because they had been laid off or fired from a job and suddenly had to find a way to pay the bills.

    My Take on Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Question to everyone who is working with ghostwriters/freelancers: Do you mention the title of the book in the NDA? In this case the same freelancer would have to sign the NDA every single time when he writes a new book. Is there any way to make the NDA universal, to make him sign only once for...

    Short Update & Success Story: I posted a request for a custom made NDA (non-disclosure agreement) on a German online lawyer portal. The next day one lawyer sent me an offer to create the custom NDA for €300 bucks. Then I did a background check on him, found out his website and his phone...

    Amazon visibility for new books.

    PUBLISHING 
    Thanks for this advice! What is the best way to find out what keyword the bestseller book is using? The 7 KDP setting keywords are always invisible, therefore I am always looking at the title & subtitle of bestsellers. Any other ideas?

    My Take on Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Thank you so much for your advice! At this stage I am negotiating with a lawyer regarding the NDA document that he will create for me. He is asking for €300 for the custom made NDA, but I think it is a good investment and will save trouble in future. I am interested in the mastermind group, PM...

    CH: Thank you so much for your input. This is also what I thought, that releasing at the same time might be a bad move in terms of marketing. I have released only the 1st book now and will focus on marketing it. That means discount it to 99 cents for one week, then make it free for 5 days (not...
