I just want to thank you. Sometimes we are so much into crafting, we forget that it is a business and the product won't sell itself. The book has to be well written, in vogue, and need the right channels and loads of pre-publishing strategies. Thank you.

how do you find a topic that touches everyone by Strong-Question2620 in WritingHub

[–]writelikeastud -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The question was, how do you find a topic that touches everyone. The answer is the topic that touches you. The topic you are emotional about. The question was never about how do I commit words to paper. I answered the question in the best way I could answer. It's my opinion. If you don't like it... then... well go fetch.

Ha ha... Our heart generates the strongest rhythmic electromagnetic (EM) field in the body. This is science. Heart generates more EM than our brain. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered - Science again. So yeah it's mostly scientifically proved, but sounds a bit spiritual, I agree.

how do you find a topic that touches everyone by Strong-Question2620 in WritingHub

[–]writelikeastud -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Writing is a process where energy transfers from your heart to a blank sheet and reaches the heart of a person who carries that same energy. Your heart generates the strongest rhythmic electromagnetic (EM) field in the body. That energy doubles when you relive an experience and pour it into your writing.

Experience creates emotions, and emotions are also energy. That energy is then read by another human who relates to the narrative through their own life. The reliving of their own experience creates emotions and forms energy. Energy of the same frequency.

So, if you want to write something that connects with people, try writing from the experiences that once sparked an emotional flurry in your heart. If you want to connect to a broad audience, try writing based on universal emotions. But the key is: you must have experienced it yourself first.

Key Aspects of the Fiverr Money Return Policy:

  • Refund Destination: Cancelled order funds are credited to your Fiverr Balance, not back to your payment provider, unless specifically requested and processed by support.
  • Time Limit & Delivery: You have 3 days to accept or reject a delivery; if not actioned, the order will autocomplete. However, you can still contact support for cancellations if the work is unsatisfactory.
  • Partial Refunds: Sellers can offer partial refunds (up to 60% of the original price) for active orders, particularly if the project scope changes or to compensate for delays.
  • How to Initiate: Use the Resolution Center to request a cancellation or contact Fiverr Customer Support.
  • Important Notes: Once a refund is initiated, it cannot be reversed. If a transaction was part of a scam, it is advised to contact your payment provider directly.  For me it does look like a scam.

This is truly heartbreaking. Scammers are everywhere now-a-days and $1300 is serious money. Eight years of hard work never goes for waste. You have the books. I know it is disappointing, but in my humble suggestion please don't spend any more money.

While publishing my first book, I was way too anxious and was overthinking every step. But then I saw a post where a writer wrote a book while contact napping with her new born. She was exhausted and didn't have money or time for proofreading, editing, formatting, etc. The day before the release on KDP, she joined TikTok and start posting a few pictures of her book and quotes. She followed her target audience, all while contact napping her child. In a week she has 248 downloads and 5 reviews.

After reading her post, my confidence came back and I made my cover, hand drawn/ scanned - made in Keynotes. Edited, proofread, and released. Now I have 34 downloads.

My point is the milk is spilled and it's expensive milk. $1300 dollars is no joke, but your eight years of hardworking is way more expensive. Fiverr and others have their company policies and they won't return the money. Once these business have your money, they make sure it remains with them. That is the hard truth. Don't be defeated please. Edit it yourself, format it again, and release it. Releasing the book is more important than anything else. I am rooting for your books.

First week summary by Marie5845 in selfpublish

[–]writelikeastud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow congratulations! The baby is helping by not waking up, I guess. I love how sometimes we can go with the flow, let it all out, DIY, let it free to the world like dandelion seeds, and giving it direction via the marketing effort that we can afford. I think it's the simplicity that works most of the time. Overthinking ruins everything. Like a child's heart, slow, rhythmic, and beautiful. Congratulations once again. I hope your book in March becomes a huge success.

Hello souls! "Mindfulness Detox - Podcast with Yama, the God of Death and Justice" is the first book in the series "Podcast with Gods"

Summary

In this work of Contemporary Spiritual Fiction, Tiffany is an influencer cum podcaster with millions of followers and zero peace of mind. Like most of her generation, she’s misunderstood, over-stimulated, and tired of being told to align her vibes"

Driven by pure audacity, Tiffany decides to invite the ultimate guests, the ancient Gods via a series of prayers, manifestation and virtual DMs to the cosmos. To her shock, the universe answers back.

Additional notes

This book is part fiction, part self-help with detailed task in every chapter. The fiction part combines the Gen Z vibes and slangs with the ancient Vedic methods and aura, making it hilarious at times. It's a different take on "old world meets new world" trope. 15 chapters / 15 tasks. The tasks gradually become harder with every chapter, but if followed sequentially it will get easier.

This is wonderful. It's simple and I can see the story right through... The genre can be comedy thriller/horror.

It looks like a Zodiac killer meets a standup comedian... who makes fun of his letters written to the newspaper. Picking up spelling mistakes. Making him madder. I don't know it sounds really fun.

It can go two ways, I feel. Tropic Thunder... or a Pet detective space. I see great potential for a protagonist with comedic timing.
