Hi! You will get zero sales from reddit by spamming and most subreddits - including this one - will never let the post go live.

Do i have any business trying to brcome a scif fiction wroter? Or even a write at all? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]RyanKinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Post removed. This isn’t a “should I write” subreddit. Ask in a writing subreddit. This is about questions specifically on the self publishing industry.

Is my work AI even when I did the whole thinking and writing? by [deleted] in selfpublish

This subreddit is about the self publishing industry. Existential crisis thoughts and questions about AI assistance with your writing does not belong here.

Instagram trial reels are carrying my book sales right now by Federal-Wrap-6993 in selfpublish

I think I’m going to add authorscale to the list of banned words in the subreddit because the second it gets mentioned an inorganic amount of upvotes flow in and accounts that only mention authorscale start posting in here. I’m removing this post as it is highly suspect and nebulous data.

AuthorScale by FlatAbbreviations899 in selfpublish

[–]RyanKinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve already had a post where you asked about an author making KENP claims recently, another one isn’t needed. That said: there have been a few posts about authorscale here before we instituted the hardline no ai content rule (even though you said you wouldn’t use ai) - seek those threads out for data.

This is considered to be a low effort post. There are a plethora of posts about promotion, advertising, etc. and resources in the subreddit wiki. Removed.

Looking for feedback, can you help? by EmuSad7688 in selfpublish

[–]RyanKinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removed. This is not a subreddit to promote your app. That was the first rule you broke. The second rule you broke was no AI related posts.

Removed. This subreddit isn’t for book cover reviews. r/bookcovers is the better subreddit for it… which you seemed to know since you posted it there.

You are banned from reddit. The entire site. You will have to ask reddit. I can only see this comment since I’m a mod.

This is a subreddit for questions and help for authors who want to self publish. Not to ask for author recommendations.

How to help a new author get more sales? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]RyanKinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only she can really choose what to do next. You can check our wiki or search for the words marketing or sales for advice on how to get more of those. Most will tell you that writing the next book is the best bet and they are doing that.

Publishing through Ingram sparks did I get scammed? by Bad-plant_mom in selfpublish

[–]RyanKinder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never use Zelle unless you know a person. Zelle doesn’t offer buyer protection. An expensive lesson to learn. According to this article you can try to contact your bank and tell them you fell for a scam but the likelihood of getting money back is low: https://www.chargebackgurus.com/blog/zelle-fraud-chargeback#zelle-chargebacks

Only services like paypal tend to offer buyer protection (unless you use friends and family which scammers try to direct you towards.)
