#fridayfive

Today’s friday five is all about an indie book release – mine!

Influence released on monday 8.14.2023, and, like every other time I’ve released a new book on my own – the definition of indie, lol – I’ve learned a few things and done a few new things. Here’s my list for this week, with this upload.

Make sure you upload the correct files. The ones that have been edited to your satisfaction and that are correctly formated.Make sure all your links are clear. If you use Bitly or Books2Read, please ensure the clean links you send people in your email or newsletter or in your marketing are correct. There’s nothing worse than sending a reader to the wrong spot – or book!Change all your banners on your social sites to reflect your book cover.order author copies BEFORE release day(this one is conceited, but I do it anyway) Check your sales in KDp hourly and your ranking in NEW RELEASES in your category on amazon just as much. Yes, I am conceited.
