BTS033, Opting out of KU, My First Free Promotion on Kobo, and Outlining a Short Story

Send us Fan MailIn June, I made the decision to opt out of Kindle Unlimited, and I don’t regret trying it out. Due to this experience, I’ve learned a few valuable lessons which I will put into practice for another series. While I’m on the topic of lessons learned, I also changed my focus from sales to getting more book reviews. And I share the steps I plan on taking to make this happen. Even though I’m shifting my focus to book reviews, I share the results of the book promotions I’ve paid for throughout the month. Now, on to the writing-related news. In preparation for the launch of book two, I decided to write a new reader magnet for my mailing list. During the month, I outlined a short story in the James Lalonde universe. And I made progress on the rewrites for James Lalonde, book two, and I’m finally sharing the title and cover over on the blog post with you. On top of all of this, I’m making a special announcement at the end of the episode.  Podcasts, Books, and Tools MentionedThe Show NotesLola’s Blog ToursBook SproutAwesome GangCrave ReadsBargain BooksyGoogle SpreadsheetsGrammarlyProWriting AidAutoCrit VellumWriting to Market by Chris Fox *Want the podcast straight to your inbox? Other Useful LinksLooking for an affordable premade book cover? | https://levillainbookcovers.com/shop/  **Be on the Podcast | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/podcast/interview/Host Your Author Website with SiteGround ⇢ https://www.siteground.com/go/authorpreneur *My BooksMy Short Story, the Lawn | https://dl.bookfunnel.com/wi5nh80cx4The Candidate | https://books2read.com/the-candidateSuspicion | https://books2read.com/suspicionDuplicity | https://books2read.com/duplicity-adhay/The Locked Room | https://books2read.com/locked-room Support the showConnect with me on Social MediaDiscord: https://discord.gg/HZX7HZBQUfFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorpreneurpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorpreneurpodcast/X: https://twitter.com/writeradhayYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/authorpreneurpodcast/videosGoodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/authoradhay/Merch Store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/WriterADHay/shop* This is a service or product offered by me** My bookish merchandise store
