    Finally made that million. A Self-Publishers Story...

    EXECUTION 
    Concerning creative writing I recommend: "Wie man einen verdammt guten roman schreibt" - James N. Frey "Über das Schreiben" - Sol Stein Okay, these are german translations of english language books, but they're really good. Also I would recommend to take a course on creative writing. Bigger...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    You have to be very careful concerning that burn out. Amazons system is urging you to an awful release schedule to stay visible or to give them a lot of money to stay in the game. It won't get better as there are still new authors coming to that overcrowded market, eager to spend advertizing...

    Thanks for your comments. I had some advertizing in UK but quit it together with USA. Might be worth a try to make some marketing tests again. Thanks. Concerning the german market I think it is still easier than USA or UK. At least in the SF genre. It depends on the specific genre and even the...

    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Not really. After ten years enjoying the cultural life of bigger cities I moved back to my hometown where I grew up at the edge of the Westerwald area in germany. On the upside I have woods and hills around the town, where I can go hiking, bicycling or running. And the prices for RE are low. On...

    EXECUTION 
    Sure. First book 1000EUR for cover and about 2000EUR for editing. IN 2014 it was possible to have success without any marketing or ads. Today that would be very hard. Currently I use amazon ads, e-mail marketing and social marketing (non-payed). From time to time I publish via big publisher as...

    EXECUTION 
    depends ... if I'm near a deadline, I'm writing up to 4000 words per day. That's my max. With 500 words/h this amounts to 8 hours. Then there are weeks I'm just editing or just doing taxes. Roughly 25 to 30 % is writing. 70 to 75% is editing, organization, taxes, marketing, communication ...

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for your comments. Writing was never the big thing I loved doing. I learned how to write well enough but now I'm just glad everyday when I'm finished with my wordcount. With that business I reached the ceiling. I've reached all I can achieve in my opinion, so I have to look for new...

    They're still available. I don't want to do advertizing here, but if you're searching for "transport" and "paradox" at amazon you'll eventually find them. If an admin considers this as advertizing please delete this answer.

    EXECUTION 
    Hi folks, this is my first post in this forum. Up to now I was just a quiet reader, but I learned a lot from your contributions. Thanks for that. I thought I share my story, as I finally made my first million $ with my selfpublishing business. Let me begin far in the past. I’m a mid-40, born...
