This is some really solid advice, thank you so much for this, it´s very valuable!
Happy it helped! Thanks for watching!
Thank you great information !!!!!!!!
Very detailed and informative. Thanks for the invaluable points
Thank you! Happy you found it useful :)
Kristen Martin- your info is invaluable here. Thanks so much! It's so overwhelming but this has been my dream since I was nine years old. I hope to do book signing and conferences sometime in my life!
I'm so happy to hear that! I also dreamed of being a published either when I was a kid - it's an incredible feeling when you make it happen! Best of luck to you, and thanks so much for watching!
You're doing well for yourself! Great work!
Thank you so much!
Interesting video, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Some of important 👌 👏 things in book writing ✍️ and 📚 ✨️ 😀 👌 ❤️ 😊 book publishing I know from you, so I am a new author belonging from Indian territory I mean villages where mostly people are poor 😀 😉 😜 So It's good 👍 😀 for me to know from you before my further book writing ✍️ 😀 process. So thanks 😊 🙏 namaste ❤️ 🙏.
thank you kirsten! helpful
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching :) :)
Hi! Just subscribed! I’m new to the indie author world and I feel like I have SO many questions and don’t know where to begin asking lol so you for sure helped me with this! I’ve been very nervous about doing things prematurely so thank you for this. Do you ever come to Atlanta? I’d love to connect!
What kind of lighting do you use? Helpful tips in regards to self-publishing! Thanks!
I use a light ring that a lot of beauty bloggers use, but it works great for any kind of TH-cam video! If you go to Amazon and type in "light ring", you'll see a bunch of options. I have the Neewer one. It's $112 so it is a little pricey, but it's well worth it, especially since I film a lot of my videos at night!
Awesome advice! How far in advance can you set up a pre-order on Amazon? I've also heard it's not good to do a pre-order for first (debut) books, what are your thoughts?
As long as you have your ISBN, you can set up the pre-order. I did a pre-order for my debut novel and it was great. I think it depends whether or not you already have your author platform built.
If you don't want to use either website, what are other options?
Are you a self published author or do you have your own publishing company ?😊💟
Both :) It's kind of one in the same. I created my own publishing company and self-published under that company.
+Kristen Martin omg that's so coolly!😍💕
Hi Carole, Great question! It's one I've been asked a lot, so I am going to do a video on how to start your own publishing company in the next couple of weeks. Be sure to keep an eye out :)
Btw...thanks for the book review links. I never knew such sites existed.
You're very welcome!
Have you done a book launch for Alpha Drive or The Order of Omega? If so, I would love to know your thoughts on book launching....like..is it really necessary to have one.
I would say I did a "soft" book launch for The Alpha Drive. I started updating my social media feeds and created my TH-cam channel before The Alpha Drive was published. And that's where I did most of my "pre-promoting" and "pre-marketing". I will say, I wish I had done this earlier (I started promoting The Alpha Drive only 5 months before it was published). For The Order of Omega, I'm sort of using the momentum from the first book to keep marketing and promotions going, on top of reaching out to book bloggers, booktubers, and all kinds of readers. I didn't throw a book launch party either, although this does sound like a lot of fun :) Perhaps for my new series! Anyway, I'm rambling. I think marketing and promoting your book before it's published and growing a fanbase is vital to success... but I'm not really sold on the whole concept of a book launch. I hope I answered your question!
I'm still trying to decide should I throw a book launch party...it sounds like fun, but I don't want to break the bank doing it....and I also have a fear that no one will show up and it will be a waste of time and money. This book promoting thing can be tricky for new independent authors. That's why your videos is much needed. Thanks sooo much for sharing your wisdom.
