Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan Immigrant writer 🌎

[@newbeginningsstarttodaypodcast]

You gave me a lot on information in a short period of time. Now I need to look at your links and assimilate what I need to do to promote my book. Thank you for sharing!

[@andyzambrano2423]

The background music is great!

[@Snarflelocker]

You’re posting these videos just when I need them, and the synchronicity is encouraging. And this is without mentioning the wealth of knowledge packed into each video.
Thank you so much.

[@geoffreynhill2833]

Slow down, Reedsy! 😉(from Green Fire, UK) 🌈🦉

[@danieljaygrossett-author]

Thanks! And I love the way you look today!

[@antoniodossantos5960]

Go wide with ebook. I like it 🌎

[@u_t_d_s_h-1_a]

Promoting a book for self published authors, perhaps even for small publishers---maybe big publishers I might mention for good measure, is promotion. It is prohibitively expensive.

[@jonathanmarks5720]

I checked for the category and keyword database when you mentioned it was in the description, but there's no link. Does that database exist anymore?

[@SirSmurfalot]

Thank you for the tips, also I like the new shorter hair, it suits you.

[@ashirahelat4749]

What happened to the links

[@nadinehachache1440]

Amazon doesn't work in my country Lebanon

[@suryasaxena147]

I can't focus on what you are saying just looking at you and they way you are explaining it's just so beautiful and you are so gorgeous how someone can concentrate 😕

[@dianativu]

So, basically, is all about use a mega-unetical-on-every-level-corporation to promote your book and also reinforced Amazon status as “the market”. There’s no other way?

I've asked ChatGPT to write some fables for my amusement. Result was IMPRESSIVE. So folks, how long will it be before I can do the following: Hello, AI Hemingway. You know what I like (probably better than I do), so I'd like for you to write me a 200,000-word novel (best-seller quality) about a female partisan spy in Milano, 1942 who is working to provide the Allies with intelligence on Mussolini's communications with Berlin. And do it before dinner. So what's your opinion, folks? How long will it be? And do novelists, aspiring novelists, editors and proof readers need to be concerned?

[@Give_U_Anxiety]

ChatGPT 4 has a limit to 20,000 words...u can make a novel by saying add 20,000 more words again and again 😅
