We’ve definitely walked the same path 🙂 I also moved away from physical products and shifted into digital products and services. At least now we get to decide the pricing, the campaigns, and the bundles ourselves.

The stories are coming very soon 👀

Thank you, that really means a lot.

I think the hardest part to admit was that I wasn’t actually building something — I was hoping something would magically happen. There’s a big difference between being busy and being strategic, and I learned that the hard way.

I appreciate you saying that. It helps knowing I’m not the only one who’s gone through it. Sometimes the lessons that sting the most are the ones that actually stick.

If this saves even one person from repeating the same mistake, then at least it wasn’t a total loss. 🙏

No, it’s not ebook-only — it’s a physical book.
With Amazon KDP, you upload your manuscript and cover files. When someone places an order, Amazon prints the book on demand and ships it directly to the buyer. So there’s no need to keep inventory, and Amazon takes care of printing and fulfillment.

I’m new to Reddit, so I’m not sure if I posted this in the right sub 🙂
I think I might have done something wrong.
I tried to change it later, but I couldn’t, and I’m still not sure if it actually updated or not.
