This week I ordered 1,000 copies of my children's book "Bitcoin saves the world".
I set up a landing page on
bitcoinsavestheworldbook.com
Currently I'm serving the kindle version while I wait for the printed version to land. In the mean time I am setting up a store front for accepting crypto payments for physical and digital copies of the book. (The quality along with direct crypto payments is a skew in a market saturated with low quality politically charged books)
I jump straight into the publishing of the book as I have ambitions of being able to push more content out thought direct sales in finance / crypto space. Biggest way to learn is by doing with money on the line. This forced me outside my comfort zone and to re think some limiting beliefs i have about digital marketing.
I learned a lot in regards to printing and struggling at the moment with learning a lot of the digital ads front. I signed up for a fulfilment venter as I have a couple of other digital widgets that I have prototypes getting made (I'll post on those later)
I am posting here to keep myself accountable and provide my lessons as I learn them through updates.
I ran into some issues with facebook ads. My account was frozen and I need to provide government ID to be able to unfreeze it or I become ineligible for ads on the platform indefinitely. I have not used the platform in years so no clue how much it has changed in the time being.
Twitter ads seem to be pretty straightforward. I am running a $100 ad campaign to try a couple of different strategies and see if any of the clicks convert to sales.
I am going to run a really small kdp ads budget to get a feel for the platform but I don't believe it will be a good ROI.
Once the merchant store I am putting together is up I can also reach out to bigger stores who deal in the niche space and work out whoelesale/affiliate opportunities for the. I have a list of influencers within the space that might be a good fit for affiliate marketing to get the initial traffic in.
Challenges I am facing right now:
I have been in the space for a long time but do to the nature of the space most of the work happens in different handles and identities so being able to use past reputations is not there. So starting from 0 on all the accounts. This should change once I have an established presence and some sales coming in.
I set up a landing page on
Bitcoin Saves The World
Illustrated children's book to help them learn how, when and why Bitcoin was created in an easy to follow storybook, full of colorful illustrations that bring this revolutionary technology to life.

UPDATE 11/6/2020
Printing needed a couple of changes to the cover as my trim was the wrong size than I originally uploaded. This is due to me having exported the files from a different application than indesign. Lessons learned and won't make that mistake in the future.I ran into some issues with facebook ads.
