Dave Kellett discusses the three phases of art. First, you're just trying to make it work. Then, you try to make it right. And after you've mastered those, you can begin to make it fast.On today's show:Make it work, make it right, make it fastUPDATE: Danielle Corsetto's lettering tipsUPDATE: Substack Notes adviceUPDATE: KDP and Global ComixSummaryThe hosts discuss the stages of artistic development in comics, starting with making it work, then making it right, and finally making it fast. They compare this progression to the process of building a shelf, where you start by making it functional and then refine it over time. They estimate that it takes about 3-5 years to make it work, 10-15 years to make it right, and even longer to make it fast. They emphasize the importance of putting in the time and effort to reach each stage of development. In this part of the conversation, Brad and Dave discuss the different stages of their careers in comics and how they have evolved over time. They talk about the importance of making it right before making it fast and how their skills and speed have improved over the years. They also discuss the idea of never being as good as their heroes but striving to be the best version of themselves.Additionally, they share a lettering tip from Danielle Corsetto and discuss the potential of Substack. Brad and Dave discuss their experiences with Substack and Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) in this conversation. Brad shares his positive experience with Substack, highlighting its features and the potential for audience growth. They also discuss the drawbacks of KDP, including discoverability issues and the difficulty of dealing with Amazon. Brad recommends Global Comix as an alternative platform for building an audience. The conversation concludes with a discussion of upcoming projects and the excitement for the future.TakeawaysThe process of artistic development in comics involves three stages: making it work, making it right, and making it fast.Making it work is about creating a functional comic while making it right involves refining the details and improving the quality.Progressing through each stage takes time and effort, with estimates of 3-5 years to make it work, 10-15 years to make it right, and even longer to make it fast.Putting in the work and consistently creating comics is essential for growth and improvement as an artist. It is important to focus on making it right before trying to make it fast.Skills and speed improve over time with practice and experience.Strive to be the best version of yourself rather than trying to be as good as your heroes.Consider flipping and printing the artwork on the back to create perfect hand-lettered original art.Substack has the potential to be a valuable platform for comic creators. Substack offers a great platform for artists to share their work and build an audience.KDP may not be the best option for indie creators due to discoverability issuesGlobal Comix is a promising alternative platform for building an audienceIt's important to focus on creating joyful and engaging content on social media platforms You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

In this episode, Julie Lokun discusses the world of publishing and provides insights into different publishing options available to authors. She starts by emphasizing the importance of books as marketing tools for entrepreneurs and businesspeople like herself. Julie mentions her own publishing company, The Media Caster's Publishing House, and highlights the team behind it.She distinguishes between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, and vanity press. Traditional publishing involves authors submitting manuscripts to literary agents or publishing houses, with publishers carefully selecting manuscripts with market potential. Julie advises authors to be cautious when approaching publishing agents, as legitimate agents should not charge upfront fees. If accepted by a traditional publisher, authors receive a contract covering various aspects such as editing, cover design, marketing, and distribution. Julie emphasizes the need to have someone review the contract and mentions that publishers are not responsible for author branding or publicity.Hybrid publishing combines elements of traditional and self-publishing. While these publishers may require a financial contribution from authors for book development, cover design, or editing, authors retain a higher percentage of royalties compared to traditional publishing. Professional services such as editing, cover design, and distribution are provided by the publisher.Self-publishing, the third option discussed, allows authors to have full control over the publishing process. Authors can upload their books to platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark, or Barnes & Noble. However, Julie strongly recommends investing in professional editing to ensure the book represents the author's brand effectively.Julie raises concerns about vanity press scams in the publishing industry. Vanity presses charge authors exorbitant fees for subpar or unnecessary services and often hold authors' books hostage. She advises authors to do thorough research, check with the Better Business Bureau, and read reviews before committing to any publishing company. Red flags to watch out for include demands for substantial upfront fees without clear service outlines, hybrid publishers requiring authors to pay for all publishing costs, and promises of instant success in exchange for hefty fees. Julie urges authors to protect their creative work and prioritize their integrity.She concludes by encouraging aspiring authors to believe in the power of their words and their potential as successful authors.

In this podcast episode, host Bobby Jones discusses low-content publishing, which involves creating books with repetitive pages and little to no text, such as notebooks, planners, journals, sketchbooks, and coloring books. He explains that Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a great platform for uploading these types of books. He outlines the various types of low-content and medium-content books that can be produced, including gratitude journals, workbooks, activity books, puzzles and game books, and quote books. While low-content publishing used to be a popular get-rich-quick scheme, Jones notes that producing quality content is now necessary to succeed in this space.For more information including the links mentioned, check out the following links https://www.sidehustlenation.com/low-content-publishing/#Download_the_Free_PDF_Highlight_Reel_from_this_Episodehttps://www.rachelharrisonsund.com/learn-with-me/https://courses.robcubbon.com/courses/category/Freehttps://moneyhackingmama.com/gold-city-ventures-review/https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/cover-templateshttps://www.canva.comhttps://affinity.serif.com/en-us/https://kindlepreneur.com/amazon-book-description-generator/?affiliate=kpreneurhttps://ragstoniches.com/low-content-publishing-on-kdp-pros-vs-consTo find out more about investing in multifamily real estate schedule a call at https://www.oncallinvestments.com/Are you a healthcare provider exploring options outside of your traditional career path?

Today's guest started in tech and became a multi-millionaire at the age of 33 when she sold her company. Then she transitioned into the fashion industry when she put Denver on the fashion map. Karmen Berentsen is the Owner of A Line Boutique and the author of Learning to Fly. Karmen shared the story of how she created her company, why Amazon is great for selling your self-published book, and what writing a book actually entails. Takeaways:Clothes are powerful. The clothes you wear send a message to other people and yourself. When you look great, you also feel great. Your customers have a lot of people who need a lot from them. You need to be there to take care of them, bring a little joy to their day, and help them accomplish their goals. When your company is making a real impact on the community, you will get so much energy from that, your customers will want to come back, and growing your business will be so much easier. If you're writing a book, don't worry about making the first draft perfect. If the story is flowing out of you, don't stop that flow to try an edit, let it all out first and then go back through. For selling books on Amazon, sellers don't go through Seller Central, they go through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). Amazon will print your book as orders come in.When listing your book on Amazon through KDP, you are initially only allowed to select three categories for your book. However, if you call them, you can get listed in four to five additional categories.To have Amazon's #1 Seller badge for your book, you need to have sold the most books in 24 hours. Doing that takes a lot of planning and preparation to get people interested and ready to buy the book during the specific window that you are trying to hit.

If you've been utilizing Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform for low content or no content publishing needs, then I have an opportunity that's worth checking out. In today's episode, I (Elke) discuss the opportunity to sell these types of products on Zazzle and why it could be an even more lucrative option for you than KDP. There are several reasons that the KDP Amazon Publishing model may not be the best avenue for you to pursue, and I'm here to fill you in on those details as well as what may make Zazzle a better fit. The Zazzle platform has so much going for it, and I want you to know your options for selling not only journals but other items with your designs on them. Here are the topics I expand upon in the episode: What is KDP Amazon Publishing? The Opportunity to Make Sales on Zazzle It's my philosophy that you should get the most out of your time, maximum profitability from the least amount of time spent. Although the cash grab factor on KDP Amazon Publishing is high, it's not a sustainable business model to generate passive income over the long term. On the other hand, Zazzle can make you a steady, passive income over time if you start your shop correctly. To hear the full episode and why you should consider selling low or no content items on Zazzle, tune into episode 84 of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast: How KDP Amazon No Content Book Sellers Can Make Money on Zazzle If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot of the episode to post in your stories and tag us! @msjenclarke and @elkeclarke Love it?

In this episode, Salley Schmid takes us through her journey to creating journals for her clients. Not only is creating products a great way to diversify your private practice income, but it also is a fantastic way to help people who wouldn't typically be in your reach. One of Salley's journals is a tool for clients to calm their emotions and thoughts when they are running amuck. Tune in as Salley talks about the self-publishing process, what to know before writing a book, and the importance of multiple income streams in private practice. Meet Salley Schmid I am a Kansas native, having been transplanted to Texas from Colorado. I am pretty sure I was supposed to be born in Colorado, but my parents forgot to move there. For several years now, I gladly call Waco, Texas my home and love this community and the people I have come to know and call my friends. I consider it a privilege to begin a business in such an entrepreneurially focused community. My passion is helping people succeed. I am the proud mother of teenage twin daughters. They keep my heart very full. I am blessed with a very supportive husband. I also enjoy time with his son, who is the same age as my twin daughters. My favorite times in life are with my family, especially when all 5 of us can be together. I earned a Master of Science in Family Therapy from a small school in Wichita Kansas, Friends University in 1996 and a Bachelor of Science from Kansas State University. I have worked in a counseling and administrative capacity since that time in out-patient, in-patient, day treatment, residential, foster care, educational, and private practice settings. I have worked in the field of mental health and human services since 1985. I understand and respect the important role personal values play in self-evaluation, change, growth, healing, relationships, and success. I practice from a holistic and resilience-based approach to helping people. I help people explore their strengths and learn to harness the success that already lies within them for visible, life and relationship change. Discovering the hindrances present in life and while planning to overcome those obstacles to achieve their best. "One of my greatest honors has been to help people emerge strong and successful on the other side of a difficult or unplanned life transition" Currently, I provide Professional Development Training for human service professionals as well as Counseling services. My counseling practice specializes in helping people transition to a place of strength after experiencing trauma, traumatic grief, and difficult or unplanned life transitions. I work with individuals (adolescents and adults), families, and parents from a family systems perspective. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, traumatic grief, divorce, parenting difficulties, blended families, and attachment difficulties. I am Certified in the Daring Way by Brene` Brown as well as being a Certified Positive Discipline Trainer. Creating A Journal For Clients The pandemic had a lot of gifts that were hidden in it. One of those hidden gifts was Salley putting into book format the visual processes she does with clients. Her clients are responding very well to it. It's a journal that's really designed to help people understand how they get emotionally dysregulated and give them some tools to get out of emotional dysregulation. The journal is great for clients when they aren't able to get on the therapist's couch. However, it's not meant to be a replacement for therapy. Instead, it's a supplement for therapy. Check out Sticky Emotions Journal Working On Your Products The longest process was the art journal because Salley worked on it for a couple of years to draw all of the images in it. Then, she got them turned into digital images. To create a book on artist-quality paper is very expensive. Salley quickly realized that it would not make any money or serve enough people. A friend of Salley's told her about Direct Publishing. So, she gave up her hope of artist quality paper and introduced her art journal on Amazon. It became a big success! Plus, Salley can sell them out of her office. Check out Find Your True North: A Soul Finding Art Journal. Learn About Self-Publishing Salley looked at different self-publishing options, and the cost was high. Trying to get a publisher was also tricky. Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is super user-friendly. Salley didn't have to learn a lot. Instead, KDP tells you everything that you need to do. It's one of the fastest and most efficient ways to self-publish a book. For eBooks, authors can directly upload their book files, and it will appear in the Kindle store as an eBook for readers to purchase and instantly download. What To Know About Creating A Book It is imperative to have someone edit your work and look at it. When you're writing, you know what you mean. However, does someone else understand what you mean? Another set of eyes will be invaluable on your self-publishing and book-writing journey. If you're looking to have art in your book, you will need to find someone who knows how to digitize art. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't know it all. Also, don't be afraid to invest money in places where there is the expertise that you don't have. Diversifying Income In Private Practice Having a book allows Salley to have another set of income. Salley is running a business – she needs to earn income. Products are a wonderful way to make extra money. Plus, Salley gets to extend her reach. Now, she gets to add value to people and can bring healing and transformation into their lives. Not everyone wants therapy, and not everyone can afford it. Salley's products make the healing work more accessible for people. Lastly, Salley is passionate about what she does. Remember to do the things that you're passionate about.
