Self Publishing My First Book: Day 23 — Figuring it out?
I think this whole “week on, week off” Plan might actually be effective. Focusing on one week of being my own “publishing company” and one week of just pure writing is turning out not only to be effective but very fun and enriching. It’s like my passion is restored fully, and I don’t feel as stressed, which is nice. Especially since I don’t fully stop the research. Whenever I’m walking on the treadmill or doing small chores around the house, I listen to audiobooks about self-publishing or watch an education video on youtube.
Right now, I’m listening to “How to Market a Book” by Joanna Penn! It’s actually very, very good. More so because you can tell how truly passionate she is about the process. I also watched yet another video about Amazon PPC. Slowly but surely that part of the business is starting to be realized a little bit. Like I always say, it doesn’t matter what moves you’re making so long as you’re making moves.
This week as well as writing, I’m starting to get closer to finishing my workbook for dating. There’s a lot that’s going into this one. But I’ve scheduled all my books to be around 3–4 months apart from their release time.
