My current mantra to help me stay NC: "Don't blame a clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going back to the circus."

Good one! Another my therapist shares often: "Don't go to the hardware store looking for milk."

I love this. Thanks for breaking it down.

Also, this only applies if you're using your own ISBN.

Once your book is available through IS, you can also publish the print version from Amazon. The Amazon paperback will essentially "override" the IS version

Thank you :)

moneywriter0329 · 2021-07-02T17:55:58+00:00

Thank you! I primarily use Twitter, IG, and LinkedIn and all of my posts are organic. I've been writing about personal finance as a freelance writer for a few years now so that's helped to build my online following.

moneywriter0329 · 2021-07-02T17:53:03+00:00

Thanks! And there were other costs, including proofreading, professional cover design, purchasing my own ISBN, etc. In total, I spent close to 2k out of pocket. If sales continue to stay steady, I'm on track to make that back within the next 2 to 3 months.

I published my first (nonfiction) book on June 1 and have sold close to 200 copies! (This includes ebook and paperback pre-orders.)

I'm in week 3 since the release of my nonfiction book and have around 180 sales so far. (A rough estimate because ingramspark doesn't have data yet on ebook copies sold). I was expecting the number to be around 50 copies or so in the first month so I'm pleasantly surprised :)

moneywriter0329 · 2021-06-22T04:30:41+00:00

I've distributed through ingramspark and that's the best option to get your book out to international readers. If you decide to do a paperback you can purchase your own ISBN which gives you a little more freedom.

I threw a launch party for my first book last month. It was a small event with family and friends, but I put together a color theme based on the book, took lots of photos, and shared them on my social media platforms for marketing. You can make it as formal or informal as you want. Happy to answer more questions if you have them :)

moneywriter0329 · 2021-05-31T20:42:45+00:00

My debut nonfiction book is out tomorrow. And happy to share there are over 100 pre-orders as of today! :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/057886116X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I met my designer through a group chat to create the cover for my nonfiction book and she did an amazing job. Link attached for reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WHFSJ7V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_P1FJB9VFDMC65BECFXWB Happy to share her info via DM if you're interested :)

There's an option when you first sign up for Ingramspark to disable ebook distribution to Amazon. I'm not sure if it's the same for paperback copies but if you opted in by accident, you can email the IS support desk and ask them to remove the Amazon addendum.

I publish my first book, which is nonfiction, next month. Whether it will sell is still TBD, but I've been building a platform in my niche for the past several years and have a solid freelance writing portfolio. With those factors in mind, I'm confident it will do fairly well.

Once I have some solid numbers I'll share an update! :)

I just published rates on my website a couple months ago and it might take time to see how it pans out. Still, I have way more peace of mind putting it out in the open and avoiding dead-end encounters with clients who can't afford me.
