What mysterious ingredients make a book launch successful? What number of first-week and first-year sales truly make a difference to a book's longevity? What can you do to turn lagging numbers around? In a flagship illuminating post for the industry, Todd Sattersten, publisher and owner of Bard Press, shared his findings in The Magic Number. In this behind-the-business conversation from October 2023, you'll hear him generously talk me through how I could help Free Time get there—with a much-needed morale boost at the end.

Show Notes:  After you've created the foundation, there is a time when it is advantageous to spread out and reach another audience. You're in a silo, but there's another one right next to you! Other authors are looking for ways to do this, too.   Some of these work better for selling books or getting reviews, and some work better for increasing your mailing list size.   Newsletter Swaps: 1. (BEST) Organic swap with an author you know (in your a genre). 2. Find other authors to do this with on FB Groups (i.e. Mystery Authors) 3. Book Funnel, Author XP, Story Origin (set up author profile)= put the call out for a newsletter swap. Look for exclusivity, if you can. (Link to whatever your freebie is... permafree, sale, reader magnet.) (Erick looks at this weekly to see what swaps are available right then.)   Group Promos: 1. Baseline for building a mailing list, effective for getting numbers, but not for quality subscribers. Erick does 3 times a month. 2. Look at the other books in the promotion. Will this fit with my audience? 3. Clean mailing list every six months. But most will unsubscribe on their own.   Bundles:  1. Very similar to group promos.  2. Less control for the reader. They get added to a load of other newsletters automatically. (Erick does it every quarter.) (700+ subscribers but open rate low.)  3. Costs $.   Blog Swaps: 1. For non-fiction.  2. Guest blog (link to website). 3. Google likes "back links." (Credibility in the algorithms.)   Not really the same as ideas above, but adjacent, is paid ads on someone else's list:  Instead of buying someone's mailing list (not cool anymore), you can buy a SPOT on someone's list. (BookBub, Bargain Books, Free Booksy, Fussy Librarian.) Works better for advertising one book as opposed to getting an email address.   10% of promotors DON'T promote. Your reputation matters. Promote your promos, or you won't be allowed in other group promotions.   Find Us: Valerie's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/valerieihsan Erick's Linktree link: https://linktr.ee/erickmertzauthor  

So, I decided to list Suspicion for free and promote it using various newsletter book promotion services ahead of the release of the second book in the James Lalonde series. The promotions I booked were with AuthorsXP, Fussy Librarian, Kobo, and Free Booksy; altogether, these promotions cost me £176.67 or US$209.96. I used the Google exchange rate from the 19th of November, just in case you're interested. So, in this behind-the-scenes author diary, I will discuss the results of my experiments with Ad stacking on my first-in-series novella or short novel.But first, let's discuss my expectations.My ExpectationsTo be honest, my expectations were relatively low in terms of download numbers. Still, I expected around 2,000 downloads from the Free Booksy promotion only because of an experience in the past. But I was hoping some people would download Suspicion like the store and either follow me on Amazon and buy the next book when it's released or even purchase the preorder. Even though I was hoping for these things, I was pretty pessimistic about the results and knew it was more of an experiment. On top of this, I was terrified that I would receive more harsh reviews or low-rated positive reviews, thanks to my experiences with BookSirens. As a result, I was starting to think this third edition was crappy, and as a result, I was a crappy writer. But that's a story for another time.Without further ado, let's get into the episode.Podcasts, Books, and Tools MentionedCheck Out the Show NotesThe Previous EpisodeHost Your Author Website with SiteGround *AuthorsXP, Daily DealFussy LibrarianFree BooksyBookSproutInterested in the mini-course on how to outline a novel?Am Writing Fiction Community by The Authorpreneur Podcast (Facebook Group)Support the show by buying me a coffeeWant the podcast straight to your inbox?My ServicesTry The Formatting Wizard Book Formatting Services for FREE **The Formatting Templates offered by my services.Le Villain Book Covers (Affordable Premade Book Covers) **My BooksMy Short Story, the LawnThe Candidate (Rookie Reporter, Book 1)Suspicion (James Lalonde, Book 1)Duplicity (James Lalonde, Book 2)Entitled to Murder on my blogEntitled to Murder on WattpadConnect with Me on Social MediaTwitter: @WriterADHayFacebook: www.facebook.com/authorpreneurpodcastFB group: Am Writing Fiction Community by The Authorpreneur Podcast Instagram: @authorpreneurpodcastYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/authorpreneurpodcast/videos

I've been setting up book promotions with a number of companies for my first in series for the festive season. Today I take you through the process of each of these companies, explaining the prices, the reasons for doing the promotions and what you can expect. 

There is an internet group called The Fussy Librarian whose members can get to read and keep a weekly selection of ebooks for free. The list on offer, which changes every week, generally consists of thrillers, mysteries and romantic novels, all by relatively little-known authors, and you can select as many as you like for no charge at all. We are constantly reminded that there is no such thing as a free lunch. So, how come there is such a thing as a free read? The answer is that the writers who participate in the scheme want to attract as many free readers as possible, in the hope that at least some of them will in future become cash-paying customers of their works, paving the way for the authors' ascent to ‘bestsellerdom'. In marketing argot, this is what is called a ‘loss leader'. The seller of any product, from a new brand of instant coffee to a range of cosmetics, will put on special sale an item at a loss-making price as a hook to attract future buyers at much higher prices. The Fussy Librarian could be an example of a loss leader sales strategy. However, could there be a non-commercial reason behind the modus operandi of The Fussy Librarian? When he was a young, struggling writer in Buenos Aires, Jorge Luis Borges would haunt working men's bars and cafes in the evening and, surreptitiously, slip in the pockets of their jackets and coats hanging by the doorway copies of the poems he had written, on the chance that the sheets of paper would be discovered, and read, before being thrown away. What impelled the aspiring writer to seek communion with those whose worlds, both outer and inner, were so very different from his? Before Newton explicated the workings of gravity, scientists and philosophers described gravitational phenomena as ‘action at a distance', effect B being linked to cause A with no discernible connection between the two. What was called action at a distance in the physical world has a parallel in the realm of human consciousness. What is this action at a distance, this force of gravity that can connect two or more people and turn them into a gestalt, an entity which is larger than the sum of its individual parts? To someone like Borges, who sowed the seeds of his penned thoughts to reap a random harvest from the minds of men very dissimilar to him in almost every respect, the action at a distance, the gravitational bond, was to be found in the written word used as a bridge to span the separateness that encloses us, islands in the river of life. The writer – be it of a novel, a poem, a postcard, a text message: How r u? C u l8r – by the very act of writing affirms the existence of a reader, the one for whom the writer has written. Writing is an affirmation that an other, the reader, must exist. By such an affirmation the writer's own existence is predicated on the logically prior existence of the reader. Descartes said: I think, therefore I am, a statement which leads only into the blind alley of self-conscious solipsism. The writer's symbiotic credo is: You read, therefore we exist.

If you listened to the previous episodes of this podcast, you'd know that I've been struggling to finish my next novel. By now, you're probably wondering what drama got in the way of me achieving my writing and publishing goals. In this show, I'll share a momentous writing update. On top of this, I discuss my fears and a surprising update on my Fussy Librarian book promotion. And, I discovered a great tool for self-published authors at a great price.So stay tuned for all of this and much more.Podcasts, Books, and Tools MentionedCheck Out the Show NotesThe Previous Episode Fussy LibrarianBetaReader.ioHeyBetaBetaBooksTry The Formatting Wizard Book Formatting Services for FREE **The Formatting Templates offered by my services.

In this monthly q & a session, the guys answer listener questions. Whether you're traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript into your editor and walking away are gone. If you want to succeed in today's publishing world, you need to understand every aspect of the business - editing, formatting, marketing, contracts. It all starts with a good book, then the real work begins. Join international bestselling author J.D. Barker and indie powerhouses, J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon, as they gain unique insight and valuable advice from the most prolific and accomplished authors in the business. Join us on Patreon and ask your question LIVE on the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/writersinkpodcast Questions asked: I know J. has tried doing a dialogue only first draft, and I'd love to know what you think now. Will this be part of your normal process going forward? I'm trying it myself now, after a conversation with Jeff Elkins. I can definitely see the benefit, but it's taking me a lot longer. Any tips to share? Thank you! I will be releasing the final book in a trilogy soon, and I'm thinking about whether to start some paid advertising. I'd start with services like BookBub or The Fussy Librarian to test the waters. Since the trilogy will be complete and I can get read-through, is this a good idea? Or should I wait until I have a few more books out? Thanks! What aspect of the writing process have you recently changed or tweaked? My question is about chapters/episodes in serialized fiction. I have a space opera trilogy almost ready to go and have decided to release it in a serialized version first as an experiment (on Substack instead of Vella because I'm Canadian). Is a chapter a chapter regardless of how it's released? Or should I reconsider the arc of my chapters for each format? What's the best way to get started offering author services? Where might you be able to cut corners on editing? What writing achievement would you like to be remembered for? Links: J. D. Barker - http://jdbarker.com/ J.

Today on Indie Author Weekly, I want to continue with our book launch recap of Her Bad Idea. Last week, I shared with you about the organic book marketing that I did for the book launch, and my experience with the book blogging community and the advance readers who helped me promote this book. You can tune into Episode 77 to get the inside scoop on all of that. Okay! So today, we’re on to Part 2 of the book launch recap for Her Bad Idea. The release day was August 25, so I consider the book launch to be a two-week period. In this episode, I want to share with you the money side of things with this book launch: which paid promotions were worth it, and which weren’t, plus how many book sales I actually made, and how much money I made from my romcoms during the two-week book launch period for Her Bad Idea. I wanted to experiment with different combinations of promos… I figured that doing a blitz of multiple different promotional methods would give that extra boost and that punch you need to hit the bestseller list. It’s a multipronged approach! So that was my mindset behind buying a bunch of promos.
