Publishing without spending anything Challenge!
I’ve got at least 6 books to revamp and republish, and unfortunately, it all adds up. It will cost me more than I can afford right now, so I took it to betas, and they just said it needs more details and world-building than anything. I’ve looked at covers, and they are just too costly for me at this time. So I thought to myself, 'Well, I have a Canva Pro subscription, so I can use that to make the book cover, mockup, book trailer, and any other graphics I need.' I also have Vellum already, so no need to hire a formatter when I can do it myself. I thought to myself, what if someone wants to publish broke/poor edition? Everything is way too expensive for me and when I did hire an editor people bitched about it not being edited the way they wanted. Several even didn’t like my editor for my Ghost Reaper series, so this time I am not hiring one. I’m not doing paid marketing either I’m doing all the free ways with social media. I get tired of those stupid book marketers bothering me about those book trailers hell, one even tried to take the last dollar I had. I even told one I didn’t have 30 just 18 in my account and the idiot tried to push me to hire him for it. The prices they charge for their bs book trailers and marketing services are terrible too. They think we are made of money, and we aren’t got a few trying to say they wanted to make a living off us, like buddy, you are in the wrong field. So as a challenge to myself the next 6 books will be me entirely. I have always wanted to learn how to create my own covers anyway, and the first book I’ll be focusing on is Raven’s Revenge! I’ll be redoing parts and even including cyber hackers too, with resources I created the book about romance scammers, and telling a story with vampires and witches as a twist. I’ll most likely record Youtube and Tiktok videos about the process too. I really want to put myself out there and take a shot to see what I can do myself. I’ll also post videos about the process too. This is going to be exciting and I hope you follow along with me! Until next time Jessica!
