Self-care and Life updates! Writing a book for Beginners Part 1

All the places I've published my ebooks besides Amazon!

I know we have all heard of Amazon but I know some people are boycotting them and if you are wide there are other places you can sell your books on. Here is where I sell all mine that is not amazon!

My Discord server!

If you are on discord and have a server you can sell your ebooks on them! I have a server and I set up a shop there in case people want to buy my books! Discord is pretty cool it is a place where you can create a community and get feedback from people mine has various food, booze, games and it is where I even have voice calls and a good way to keep in touch with your community.

Ko-fi!

https://ko-fi.com/jdsamuels Ko-fi is an awesome platform where you can have people buy from your shop, you can even get donations from people, and you can even do tiers for people who become members. It is awesome and one of the ways to sell your books. If someone joins one of my membership tiers they get bonus behind the scenes and a special discord server role.

How does Ko-fi work?

Creators set up their personalized Ko-fi page and share it with their lovely fans (like you). When you visit a creator’s page, you can choose to make a donation and also leave a short message of encouragement if you like, and that’s it! The money goes directly to the creator, acknowledging their hard work and fuelling their passion to keep going.

Freedom for the creator

Creators can use Ko-fi as a simple ‘tip-jar’ to receive donations or expand it to offer loads more. They can create membership tiers with rewards, set up stream alerts, sell physical or digital products in their Ko-fi shop or even offer commissions and services. All of this from one place!

Creators keep more of their money

Ko-fi charges just 0–5% platform fees for the service (most other services take between 12% and 30%). That means more of your money goes directly to the creator.

it lets you sell ebooks and I will eventually put my books there to give it a try!

I have an Etsy shop where I sell them as well. I even put my entire novels on Medium since it is a good way to earn money. I even have a paid website where people can buy my books from there. And a paid substack where I am going to put my ebooks there a well. As you can see there is alot of places besides Amazon where you can upload ebooks for free and sell there.

In other news I plan on doing a series of blog posts on my Medium, Substack and wordpress where I take you step by step from beginning to end on how I write my novels. I figured it would be a cool way to show people the process and I also plan on putting my Medium and Substack articles as a video on Youtube I have a lot of content planned and I hope you are there with me!
