Exactly a week ago, I published Make & Shine, an ebook which is all about personal branding for indie makers. Several people have reached out asking about the process and the experience, so I wanted to share this as a way to say thank you to the community!
This is how I wrote, designed, published, and promoted Make & Shine. This is obviously not a perfect blueprint, but I hope you find it useful.
1) Launch results
First, to put the following process into perspective, here are the results I achieved. I offered to get the ebook via Amazon or via Gumroad, and sold one odd copy to someone who reached out asking to use PayPal.
Okay, so how many exactly?
• Amazon: 29
• Gumroad: 106
• PayPal: 1
One-week total: 136 copies
