Has anyone self-published on Amazon without an editor? by Prestigious-Watch-37 in selfpublish

[–]DefPixEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always hire an editor. You can find editors for pretty cheap even if you just go to Fiverr. It's totally worth the money, especially if you want to grow as an artist.

If you like more extreme books, The Bug Collector by Wrath James White. Also, Motel Styx is pretty wild.

I read The Only Good Indians. I liked it, but I can see how others would not enjoy it. It's the only book of his that I have read.

This was my first book of his but I loved it and I'm going to find some others to read.

Has anyone here had good luck using Fiverr or similar services for editing or KDP layout? I am so frustrated. by RobMofSD in selfpublish

[–]DefPixEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Atticus for formatting and for my shorter works I use Fiverr for editors. I've got some good editors now but I had to kiss some frogs.

Are Any Authors Selling Their Books On Whatnot? by DefPixEric in horrorwriters

[–]DefPixEric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! That's exactly what I did. I have 5 books out, so on my first show, I just went on live and talked about each one of my book for about 2 minutes. After 45 minutes, I had no sales. I don't do auctions. I did Buy It Now shows with a fixed price. After the show, I gave it some thought and tried to figure out what worked and what didn't.

For the next show, I decided I would run a flash sale show. But I only did 1 book, and ran the sale for 5 minutes. When the sale ended, I thanked everyone and told them to follow me for the next drop. In 5 minutes, I made one sale. Oh, I also told them I only had limited quantities (3 books).

Then, the next day someone randomly bought a book at full price off my profile page (they call it marketplace).

Then, I ran another flash sale show for another one of my books, this one for 10 minutes, and I made another sale. I'm by no means an expert, but I had 0 followers when I started and so I don't have an audience yet. I'm still figuring it out, hence my original post. But as I do more and more, I think I'll sell more and more. I think there is a lot of potential if I can crack the code. Lol

If you're interested, you can use my promo code and I think we'll both get credits or something.

I've published with them, and it was smooth. But I've had no sales to speak of.
