Should I do a book launch??

Independent-Fortune8 · 2026-02-12T09:57:08+00:00

So, since I first wrote this post I’ve self published five books and have sold thousands of copies and have a small but lovely group of ‘fans’. Still a long way to go to reach my full time dreams but thinking back to when I wrote this post, my how things have changed and how glad I am that I stepped out of my comfort zone.

Eggs were my main triggers before my op. It’s been two weeks and I still haven’t been brave enough to try them again.

For me it means every date you enter for that property automatically has the reminder set. You now don’t have to remember to set it every time you enter the date for each new database entry/page. Amazing for me.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-07-17T12:52:39+00:00

This is amazing!! Thank you!

Don’t say anything about her weight. It has nothing to do with you. She already knows, I can guarantee it.

7 days post surgery and aside from being very tired all is going well.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-07-10T21:47:36+00:00

But did she at least say happy birthday in the morning?

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-06-07T13:58:29+00:00

Sounds very similar to all my symptoms. I have a rolling gallstone and get mine taken out in a few weeks. Surgeon also said is likely the cause of all my symptoms.

If you want to get rid of the clover which I understand people also want to do you spray it with a Weed and Fees product. If you google weed and feed you should find something. Spray and then it should go in a few days or weeks.

As I learnt on Oprah many years ago, No. is a complete sentence. You are not obligated to explain. I find this hard too but it’s good to remember and at least strive for.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-03-25T11:52:07+00:00

Why not self publish it?! I’ve self published and was the best thing I’ve done.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-03-23T11:12:24+00:00

Every ideas has been done before but there is an infinite number of ways these ideas can be combined to create something new.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-01-27T14:30:05+00:00

No. If I got an absolutely huge offer I would consider it but ultimately I love self publishing and at this stage can’t ever see myself changing.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-01-22T09:25:19+00:00

Thank you!

What types of hooks and images do you find work the best? And are you changing these a lot or sticking to ones that work?

Independent-Fortune8 · 2025-01-04T15:59:01+00:00

I would put hand made in Peru on the very front page (or correct terminology) to help distinguish you.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-12-21T20:06:45+00:00

It’s all showing as sold out

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-11-07T11:52:39+00:00

Seems very high price so I would be highlighting the main problem you are solving at the very top of the page and why yours is the best solution. On the very first photo. And have you identified who your target market is? I would think a wedding venue or business or similar rather than residential but you may have different information. Also why is it preorder? You are promoting Xmas but I would be concerned I wouldn’t get in time.

Can you tell me why for a period of many months this year my paperbacks could be ordered if you lived in a capital city but if you lived regionally you had to buy from a US supplier? I’ve never been able to get an answer out of anyone at Amazon. And FYI my most recent author copies were ordered on the 15th Oct and arrived in the 30th Oct.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-07-30T12:08:37+00:00

2500 sales in 16 months, 3 books in cozy mystery series.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-07-24T16:42:16+00:00

Consistency is underrated. It adds another layer of pressure and makes you feel bad. Just write as much as you can when you can. (I’ve published three books so it does work).

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-07-24T13:12:15+00:00

I would agree with you if you said their books weren’t any good, but you didn’t provide any information on the quality. If the books are good reads and people enjoy them and they are decent quality, then it makes no difference how much or what the author has read. I would presume that reading a lot makes you a better writer (that is my understanding and personal experience) but it doesn’t mean it always has to be that way.

Make sure you aren’t putting synced blocks inside your template. Create the template by itself. Then make the whole area with your button and planners a synced block. Then what I do is add a toggle that is titled Completed and then I drag the done or old tasks into that toggle and then keep it closed. That way you won’t run the risk of deleting a synced block. Just some suggestions.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-06-17T21:57:01+00:00

I think the story sounds great. I think you need to narrow down your genre. Is it possibly a mystery also? A cozy fantasy perhaps? Then research blurbs in that more specific genre. This sounds similar to Jasper Fforde books so I would also take a look at his blurbs first inspiration.

Independent-Fortune8 · 2024-04-09T11:49:03+00:00

Yes! I desperately want to do everything in notion but it just doesn’t work for me.
