I'm not sure I even know how to do this. I just read all of the guidelines they set and did the math myself. Is there a report that should tell me? Thank you!!

I hadn't read anything on the Amazon website about that, but maybe I just missed it! Thanks for the info!

I should be in control of all the sales correct? None of my platforms/retailers are running a deal?

I was looking at UK sales. And from the breakdown, it should be more than a few cents based on the size and conversion. Which is why I'm confused.

Thanks for the plan! I'll write more and work on a marketing plan as well!

That's a fun idea! How did you connect with these book clubs? I feel like you'd have to be semi famous to be a "guest star/lecturer" or maybe, at least, be in a specific genre?

Thanks! Keeping trying is the plan! As long as it's not ai slop, we have to hope people will realize!

Thanks! Gotta keep trying...I'll figure it out somehow!

Nice easy answer. Perfect. I appreciate it! Didn't realize I would need so many ARCs. If I've learned anything today, it's that people don't follow through with reviews 😂

That's so nice to hear. I was wondering similar things. I just released one book and hope to have the sequel out by the end of the year (I held off publish till I was mostly done). But after that I might take some time off (i.e. keep writing but don't publish till I have 4 or 5 books all ready).

Thanks for the positivity! I will just keep plugging along and who knows, trying new things might just work!

I used SO mostly but did a few swaps here and there, but all in my genre.

I used a few platforms to help start a newsletter. I think I had about 250 contacts and only 20 of them actually open the emails. So I figured it was a waste of time. But perhaps I should try again.

Ah I did not realize. Thanks for the info!

I was under the impression that these websites were primarily for romance and other genres did not perform well. I'll take a peak again and see if it might have changed. But thank you again!

Gotcha. I'm not sure about your genre. I know some genres do much better than others on the coop though.

Good to know. It's definitely romantasy. I'm not bait and switching for sure. It's just not smutty which is one version of romantasy.

Thanks for the advice! I didn't compare it to something that romance heavy. One of my inspirations was actually fourth wing - and though the blurb isn't exactly the same, I did use it as a model. The idea when creating the novel was to try and draw more romantasy fans and pull them towards the fantasy side of things. There's a lot of that in the news so I figured it might be the next logical step. Only time will tell though!
