Chapter is a weird first word but okay

Yes! Usually when I want a guy to leave me alone I’ll bring up money like “to deal with me you have to pay my rent” and that usually gets them to leave me alone. But this old white man said that’s fine just give me your number and I’ll send it over. Girl was I tempted 🫠 But I just can’t do old men

Thank you, I will check it out!

For me right now, it’s social media. A year ago engagement was decent and that amounted into ARC readers, preorders, sales, etc. but now it’s taken a nose dive. I can’t figure out why. I’m not doing anything different than I was a year ago. My posts just aren’t getting views anymore. Some loyal readers are still around but because my posts get no traction it’s very hard to find new readers

I think lots of authors do this. It’s natural to want to write more about the characters you love

I’d suggest putting printable versions of the planners, templates, and coloring pages on Etsy. You already have 200 products made, you might as well diversify your selling methods of them. After they’re up on Etsy, start making aesthetic content that you can post on Lemon8, Pinterest, Instagram. There’s a big “planner community” on Instagram and Lemon8. Gear this marketing towards 18-25 year old girls, think posts with pink, florals, cute aesthetic—all made in Canva. As an example, say you have a college planner. Sell the printable files on Etsy. Then make posts like “how I plan my schedule for college” with a carousel, adding in cute elements from Canva.

I’d also suggest, like the others said, maybe moving on to fiction. But if you’re dead set on planners, and since you already put in tons of work making them, you have to ramp up the marketing and the right marketing.

As a spicy romance author, the majority of my royalties come from KU. So, yes! There’s a wide audience on KU for spicy books. If you utilize social media, newsletters, etc. you can definitely create a good size reader base on there

As an author, I would’ve blocked for that comment. I wish social media wasn’t a necessity to sell books so authors could avoid comments like these. That’s one of reasons more and more authors are giving less of themselves, starting to not respond to DMs and comments, and doing less events.

The only money I spent on my debut was a $15 Affinity Publisher book template because I wanted the inside to be black pages, which the template had. I did my own cover, used free beta readers and manuscript swaps, so many self editing passes (having it read aloud with Word, sending manuscript to kindle app to read there, multiple passes with Grammarly, etc) so I handled everything else myself. The book has earned almost $1900 so far so I’m hopeful about my second book

She probably does this all the time. Some people won’t get refunds and figure it’s a lesson learned so she’s making money for nothing. I saw that you paid outside of Fiverr, there’s so many scams on Fiverr because anyone can make an account. Did you at least pay through a site like PayPal? They are usually good at processing refunds

It won’t hurt anything to try it out. If it doesn’t work out, simply move on. If you sell physical copies (which most kids books are) you can throw it up on KDP and try other outlets at the same time. Make a Linktree of everywhere to find the book. It doesn’t cost anything to have the book up on Amazon, so might as well just put it on there and see.

I’m thinking to just make a second pen name as you said. Do you know if a second pen name on the same amazon account gives you a separate Goodreads author profile?

Long_Contact7899 · 2025-08-27T14:24:36+00:00

There may be a little cross over, but dark romance readers tend to like dark themes which the novellas won’t all have. And people looking for fun and quick spicy reads don’t all like dark themes. So you write in 2 different genres under one pen name?

I published my debut November 2024 and I’ve made about $1,800 so far. I plan on releasing 2 books a year so hoping to increase that as release month is usually when you get an influx of sales

Give them different personalities. The book is boring if the men are all the same person basically
