    Building a Fiction Empire

    EXECUTION 
    I'm currently using 11Labs to narrate my books so that I can: 1. Sell them direct (I've already had a few customers buy their copies in advance) 2. Drip feed them on YouTube for lead generation. I don't mind the reels and TTs, but it's a hamster wheel with no end. YouTube, on the other hand...

    Building a Fiction Empire

    EXECUTION 
    To speed up the cross-posting, consider Metricool. They allow up to 50 posts per month free. I use them to distribute my videos across TikTok. IG, FB, YouTube Shorts, Threads, and Pinterest. Great way to create some omnipresence. Text overlay videos do quite well. I advise the OP to see...

    EXECUTION 
    I've a couple of authors who state this to be a viable means to generating leads and sales – especially in the larger genres. Can you interact in FB groups as your author page?

    How are you leveraging AI to improve yourself?

    MINDSET 
    Outside of dad jokes and random search queries, I've been using it to help ideate, outline, and even write entire drafts of my fiction.

    Building a Fiction Empire

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, the sales tax thing is a bit of a negative when running your own stall, but luckily there are apps that can manage some of the heavy lifting. Look forward to your updates.

    Building a Fiction Empire

    EXECUTION 
    Sounds like you've got your publishing system down-pat. Congrats. Many fiction authors are ditching KU for a wider reach, some going as far as setting up their own direct stores (I'm one such rebel ). I see this being a lasting trend for all creators/creatives going forward. Curious, are you...

    Fastlane Opportunities for Writers

    HOT! IDEA 
    So many authors are now seeing the light and going direct with their own stores in addition to other retailers. KU has become a rapid release swamp.

    Fastlane Opportunities for Writers

    HOT! IDEA 
    I Writing has merely changed form, in my opinion. Many videos (long and short form) are built from scripts, and what comprises scripts? Writing. Audiobooks are also booming, and what are they built from? Writing. Don't get me wrong, AI has nullified the need for many human writers (for now)...

    AI is going nuts w/ online shop fakes - WTH is this? WHY??

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah, they're everywhere atm. Probably wise to keep the ads blocked for the time being.

    AI is going nuts w/ online shop fakes - WTH is this? WHY??

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This stuff reminds me of the scam ads I see plaguing YouTube right now. They're using people like Joe Rogan or Michael Saylor to launch airdrops and stocks, but it's clearly AI voice clones... at least to the trained eye/ear. Dread to think how many people have lost a bunch of benjamins to...

    Observe your mind.

    MINDSET 
    The two biggest things that have helped scrub my mindset and eased tension are: 1. Being careful what follows after the words "I am" 2. Being intentional about what I'm plugging my senses into Social media, TV, Netflix, etc. aren't inherently bad. They just require moderating. E.g. You could...

    Social Media Destroys Entrepreneurs. Grow Your Business Without It.

    HOT! RANT 
    I’ve arrived at a similar conclusion. It’s monotonous, depleting, and its volatility taxes creators hard. If only more people focused on building their email list as they do their followers… They’d be carrying around a lot less anxiety.

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    I've been to Gib a couple of times, but it's a bit too built up for me. Doesn't help a gigantic rock takes up half of it.

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah, their tax rates aren't pleasant. But I guess that's a can you can kick down the road for the time being. For sure I'll take you up on that should I make it down there. Cheers!

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I first went there in 2018 for three months. The goal was to just check it out and get a "feel" for the place as, like you, I was attracted by their favourable tax regimes. Personally, I loved it despite the unbearable heat at times and lack of regulations around noise/building sites (lesson...
