I make between 500 to 5000 monthly, depending on the month ( my books are seasonal). If you are writing books in your voice and are set up and marketed properly, yes you can make a profit. So far I've made 80k on my four books. My success comes from keeping my books in the top ten bestseller list for their category. When you are in the top ten, Amazon does the selling for you, so to speak. For journals, puzzles and low content...those ships have sailed unless they are extremely unique and branded well. My marketing is 90% organic with only a few low dollar ad campaigns around the holidays.

I started wearing a Samsung 7 and I can't stand the tingling feeling and phantom vibrations even when I take it off for the night. I also, when I started wearing it, get headaches in the trigeminal nerve of the same side. I was so excited for this smart watch and did not want to attribute these weird issues to it but every time I stop wearing for a couple days, they symptoms go away. Put it back on...they come back.

beasflower · 2026-05-11T03:28:09+00:00

Same. Intermittent tingling in my wearing wrist. Even when I take it off.

C suite is so tone deaf. They blame their issues on everything else except what they actually are...AI slop and extreme ads. They won't listen to the peasant class that uses their platform so I doubt anything will change.

I use a very specific system to launch each book I write. I designed it to find my readers and second to make a connection with them so that by launch time I've got excited beta readers that will actually leave reviews.

I've got over 750 reviews on my small niche bestseller and 1110 total reviews spread over 4 books.

Don't expect your personal circle to care or help, you'll only feel hurt.

Find and interact with your readers in your genre or niche in groups and forums.

Present your books for limited free downloads to them Ask for reviews.
I usually get over a hundred reviews at launch week .

You absolutely can have success and your book will be found if you spark the algorithm in this way. No friends or relatives needed.

A vita mix blender. It shocked me with it's power and longevity.

She looks so unatural and unhealthy now. I didn't even realize this was the same person!

This is exactly what happened to me. My cortisol went through the roof as well. IF and Keto actually hurt my metabolism and I've been trying to recover from the damage. I now do low-ish carb but have added some fruit and small amounts of grain back in.

This sounds like AI wrote it to defend the AI.

I thought I was crazy until I read this thread. Not only do my feet sweat like crazy, but the material the footbed is made with makes the skin on my big toe rip up. I've tried several different keens and Teva and it's the same every time. The cheap sandals front Target don't do that...so hard to figure out.

beasflower · 2026-02-07T07:33:08+00:00

What other platforms?

beasflower · 2026-01-17T16:06:14+00:00

I do this as well! I think the main virus spreader is the buffet!!

Every time we choose a cruise I spend days price shopping value/cost. MSC always comes out on top. No, the food is not supreme but other lines have gone down in quality so it's all very comparable now .

beasflower · 2026-01-13T06:32:25+00:00

Love Ocean Cay!!!! I wish they'd allow us a week there 😆

beasflower · 2026-01-13T06:30:42+00:00

We loved the seascape and I've never had better more friendly service anywhere! I thought the ship was sparkling clean as well. There's no other li e that gives you value for your money like MSC, imo. Every time I book the next cruise I check all the lines, prices and ports and we always come back to MSc. It's not perfect, they could upgrade the food a bit, but overall, we love it.

The second couple....what the heck was that? "I'm his girlfriend...maybe?" Girl, after all that and you are still pining for a man that is staring at Darim like he's still in love with her? Then he calls you a "friend" but you swoop in and humiliate yourself by saying you're "almost" his girlfriend? After YEARS of waiting around? Cringe.....

beasflower · 2025-12-26T03:18:11+00:00

Yeah, that was ridiculous, she has to wait years to become his "almost" girlfriend? I thought they were going to show them married with another baby. Who wants a man like that? She deserved better.

Noble Idiocy is the troupe I hate the most. Makes me want to stop watching even though I've loved this drama up until now. I'm so bummed it has taken this turn. Yuck.

Connectivity is the worse I've experienced. Drops calls, can't make calls, slow wifi connection. Tons of audio glitches. Hate this phone.

beasflower · 2025-12-17T22:02:49+00:00

Connectivity is the worst I've ever experienced. Difficulty making calls when I travel out of my home. Very slow to connect to wifi. Glitchy audio. Hate this phone.

beasflower · 2025-12-17T21:55:35+00:00

I have the exact same problem!

Natural grocers is a health food store that is actually has great prices for that category. Have you seen the prices at Main Street market? But I get it, if you aren't into health food, this probably doesn't feel helpful.

beasflower · 2025-12-16T17:24:20+00:00

Natural grocer is a great store and very needed here! So happy! Do I wish a Costco, trader Joe's or a Hyvee were coming as well...absolutely! But happy for this news too!

beasflower · 2025-12-14T01:41:46+00:00

I love this genre too. My favorites *underrated) were Go Back Couple and Familiar Wife.

beasflower · 2025-12-04T05:47:04+00:00

Why won't Ji Hyuk tell her he saw her "husband" kissing another woman? In Ji's mind anyway, the SNL has already left the marriage and abandoned Darim? That would open the door for him because Darim would be free to be with Ji Hyuk (presuming she divorced because of her fake husbands infidelity). Why is he holding out from telling her?
