Facebook

Facebook ad images must get people stop scrolling. Make it bold! Look at cost per conversion to measure success.

Audiobook

Do it sooner rather than later. The presenter’s income is 20% audio, and she pays up front (not revenue-share) for the narrator.

Pricing

New authors can benefit from prices tiering (Book 1= free, Book 2=$2.99, etc.) A more established author can be consistently higher ($4.99) but tiering can help newbies.

Blog Tours

These drive gear for spreading the word about your book. Reach out to bloggers to help get the book in the hands of readers.

Tip: If you can write a book every three months, that is the sweet spot.

If you like this post, thanks for a heart!
