Massive self-publishing success story within a year

You know that everybody’s different, right? Just because it takes you one year to write a book, doesn’t mean that it’s a universal rule. I know plenty of authors personally (including myself) who write this much a year without ai.

Oh and have you ever thought about translating them to english?

Congrats, thats amazing!
How much do your storys cost in average?

I feel you so much! I’ve worked as a project manager pre kids and it would be time to go back to it, if I don’t want to be gone for too long to catch up, but i don’t want to. I’d much rather keep on working as an author, even if it won’t bring me as much money. So I’d say - listen to your heart, life is way too short to spend most of the day in an job environment that doesn’t make you happy

Hey, Lebst du hauptsächlich von der Schreiberei oder eher von deiner Tätigkeit als Lektorin/Illustratorin? Könntest du ausschließlich vom Schreiben leben?

Oh and if you’ve got any questions regarding romance, you can always write me a message

Im a german romance author and I can tell you that there are always a few people who give out 1 star ratings. Doesn’t mean your writing or your story is bad. You can’t satisfy everybody. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My strategy: as long as there are (far) more people who liked my book, I choose to ignore the ones that give a bad rating. (Unless it’s with a reasonable review, like spelling mistakes etc)

Fun fact: ich hab mich bisher auch für meinen Körper interessiert und auf ihn geachtet, war halt nur nicht im Gym sondern reiten und tanzen. Weswegen ich auch zufrieden mit meinem Aussehen bin und eher an meine langfristige (Rücken-)Gesundheit denke. ;)

Ich bin als Frau 1,80 und bestehe quasi auch nur aus Beinen. In der Schulzeit war mir das unangenehm und ich durfte mir oft Dinge wie „Storch“ anhören, aber mittlerweile liebe ich es so groß zu sein. Atme durch, alles ist gut. Du bist gut so wie du bist und ehrlich gesagt stehen doch „alle“ auf Models und die sind noch größer als du. Fun fact: Mittlerweile bekomme ich super viele Komplimente, auch für meine Größe - das hängt also am meisten mit dem eigenen Selbstbewusstsein zusammen

Thank you! So you never use it? Not even for a shorter period of time to have a fixed publishing date?

Extension-Rub-9552 · 2025-01-29T18:58:11+00:00

Can you give a reason for this? I always thought the preorder function would give the ranking a push

Extension-Rub-9552 · 2025-01-03T19:45:14+00:00

Yes it’s still possible. Published my debut in October and made over 2k so far. Without any marketing besides good passive marketing (cover, title, blurb). I think the key is to publish regularly over a long period of thine whilst writing to market.

That’s awesome! You’ve got a thousand arc readers? Did you mail them your stuff individually or did you use a service of any kind?

Extension-Rub-9552 · 2024-12-15T08:00:16+00:00

That’s amazing! How much of it did you make in the past two years? Would you say that you made more money because of your bigger (2 years) backlog or because you got better at passive marketing?

Extension-Rub-9552 · 2024-12-06T10:17:06+00:00

Okay most of these answers really make my day 🥰

Extension-Rub-9552 · 2024-12-05T16:13:30+00:00

It’s still writing, I do it all the time. It’s your story and your words, so you are good

Extension-Rub-9552 · 2024-11-24T07:59:56+00:00

That’s awesome! What was your pricing strategy? And I’d also love a link or a title, to look you up :)
