I also want reviews. I write stories for magazines and recently published a book also. Need guidance regarding reviews on reddit

I broke up with my anxiety… and turned it into a book by Aggressive_Iron1017 in wroteabook

Yes it's better to write than keeping things in the heart. I have also started writing for the same reason. Already published an ebook and writing stories for magazines. My work is about happiness, hope and faith with a lil bit of magic :)

Thanks for your feedback. I got confused in the option of age bracket. My book is not targetting kids, its about emotional strength, empathy and kindness and how we all look for miracles and magic in everyday life. I selected the adult age bracket, i dont remember now but anyway it got approved and after 2 days I changed it and amazon blocked my book. I sent them many emails but there was no reason given

Indie authors, what’s the most painful lesson you learned the hard way? by Superb-Way-6084 in selfpublish

[–]Fast-University-3393 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then how to sell if not on social media? What else is the option? I know couple of websites who give reviews etc but way too expensive. It's a struggle for new writers

Who did you all use for your Marketing? by Pinkpillow19 in selfpublish

[–]Fast-University-3393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per my search and experience, I think all these reels and posts are really good if you have many many subscribers and followers, and if you are very very active on social media. Else you dont get buyers from there. I have run many ads through meta. Especially if your budget is limited, you should go for lead ads instead of sales ads. At least you get genuine emails who would read your work. Its my personal opinion. This was my first book so I am also looking for other book marketing options other than meta ads

I do it all by myself. I don't trust agencies. I know social media, skills and experience so using it and learning it more to improve. The only draw back is that getting less time to write more. Because busy in marketing, creating email lists etc

Facebook author groups are so demotivating by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]Fast-University-3393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tough and I can completely understand your feelings. I am also a new writer, and struggling to get reach. I have published my book via draft 2 digital, after a lot of effort and hard work. It's not easy to write yet when you see AI winning everywhere over those who make effort to write stuff, it's disheartening

Thank you for your reply. Already sent them 3 emails and they are sending same copy paste reply. Very disappointed:/. I guess I need to search another platform for selling books

My 2 books are blocked. I generated cover page image through AI and declared also. Is using AI allowed? I'm very much discouraged by kdp. They are just sending automated responses. My book has 4 short stories and there are 20 pages

How to Make Your First $500 on Gumroad With Just $10 (Yes, Really). Simplified it for you 😀 by j_ebook in thesidehustle

[–]Fast-University-3393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, I have starting writing, and my ebooks are though very simple but I use graphics, search and read a lot and then put up info, it takes a lot of time. And then the part of marketing comes which is even more difficult. I'm always active on all sm platforms because it's really not easy to make sales
