E-Books aren't Fastlane. You should quit...
PUBLISHINGI like reading different perspectives on the matter because I struggle to write 1,500 to 2,000 words a day (my pace is typically just over 1,000). There are a lot of dynamics involved, and I want the relationships that are created to really grab the reader. The right words, the right story and...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Hello HfR, I have not read much discussion regarding keywords, and I am assuming it is virtually impossible to see the keywords of other books short of just searching on Amazon. I have heard of everything from typing in your genre and using what Amazon fills in the autocomplete selections, to...- webcomber

Do You Have Your Books Copyedited by a Pro?
PUBLISHINGHi britnidanielle- I have not personally used any yet. It is amazing how many times you can read a book and still find an error here and there, so a second set of eyes is helpful, especially as you accelerate your writing. I have seen authors recommend this software on another thread...- webcomber

[PROGRESS THREAD]: Six-figure Fiction
PUBLISHINGThis reminds me of the quote "what is most personal is most universal." Going this route is automatically going to be pretty isolating in the beginning. After reading how other authors experienced so much doubt and isolation, it seems all the more universal as part of the experience. I read a...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Hello HfR - This is more great info! When you bundle a set of books, do you also bundle unrelated books together? If so, how do you bring them together as a boxed set (e.g. something like early works, bestsellers, etc.) Also, in light of how well collections sell, when you start writing a book...- webcomber

[PROGRESS THREAD]: Six-figure Fiction
PUBLISHINGI think this is very insightful. I was also tempted to rewrite a story in one book, and turn it into a more thorough, complete story covering three books in a collection. But instead I just started writing a new story and it feels much fresher and new. I could always go back to it later, if I...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I have not started one yet. I am still searching through genres and trying to figure out what works. I was thinking when I make some progress, for example what did I do, cover change, company, photographer, or something. Also, whether it was a collection. I am thinking of splitting one book up...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Hello HfR, It is great to hear from you! I felt a bit lost there, as if my experience was unusual, as in unusually bad. I am not sure how these guys started writing more books without some inspiration. Now that I know that you and the legendary H.M. Ward had similar experiences, I feel much...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Has anyone been making "big" money on Kindle? Has anyone been making "legendary" money. When I read the story of one author's success, she was selling 500 copies a day after she uploaded her first book, I thought wow. When I read the book, well, it is written at about a 7th grade level, which is...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Interesting info - thank you. Not to mention 2.99 starts the 70% royalties. It is always interesting to see these kinds of stats. According to HfR's initial post, he started writing books from 8,000 words to 20,000 words from the 2.99 to 4.99 price points (never below that.). Then he would find...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Yea, I could not figure all that layer stuff out so I just used their white background and uploaded the image. What program are you using to create your covers? In fact, since HfR emphasized the importance of a good title and cover, what program suggestions are there to create covers for Kindle...- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Hello - Has anyone been using CreateSpace with their fiction ebooks, and if so is there a sales advangate to this, or is it better to focus on writing and selling ebooks. I would imagine that if a threshold is reached for sales, it may be worth a look at CreateSpace, but not until then? WC- webcomber

GOLD!I forgot to ask, when you do the copyright page, do you use a pen name for legal rights for example © John Doe All Rights Reserved. How does that work from a copyright/legal perspective? Thanks - WC- webcomber

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Fiction is Where it is at Thank you for the informative post. I have tried lots of things with non-fiction - selling outside of Amazon to increase price and profits, ads, etc. and it really boils down to researching demand on Amazon. You have convinced me that fiction is where it is at - even...- webcomber

Just Read the Great Book and Found the Forum Q Kindle Slowlane?
SLOWLANEHi Gary Thanks for the response. When I surf over websites I look at some of the ads and see what they are selling. Many of these ads on news sites are for books in pdf format or for electronic download directly from the seller. So they can ask for any price they want, which is what I was mainly...- webcomber

Just Read the Great Book and Found the Forum Q Kindle Slowlane?
SLOWLANEHello Fastlane Forum - I am about 75% done with the book and must say it is one of the better books that I have read for business. I LOVE the concept of the Law of Effection, as opposed to the overly hyped Law of Attraction. I use to wonder what sense that ever made, because the math was always...- webcomber
