9. How To Self-Publish 2

  • サマリー

  • Jane Curry and Seana Smith take a deeper dive into self-publishing, using Seana's self-published books as examples.

    • Seana’s first self published book, made the mistake of not researching what people want to read. Did not sell at all well. And was pulled.
    • So the next project was better researched and planned, Wildly Weird But Totally True: Australia.
    • Commissioned a cover, and layout, which didn’t work well.
    • Learning curve, it started selling when I began running adverts on Amazon.
    • All the ways Amazon earns money; printing books, sales commission, advertising, Kindle downloads.
    • Ingram also does print on demand, how Amazon interacts with them.
    • Once books start selling on Amazon, Amazon helps you sell more.
    • Amazon advertising, pay per click, but impressions are not paid for.
    • The joy of checking daily sales.
    • Jane’s now running advertising for some of her books via Simon and Shuster. Leaning int o the algorithm.
    • Next came Wildly Weird But Totally True: Animals but it has not sold well, probably because there is a lot of competition in that area.
    • But remember, there are many books on Amazon that sell no copies.
