Today is the second episode in the Subscribers Control My Book Cover Design series here on YouTube. In the last episode, we designed a fantasy book cover, and this time we’re designing a romance book cover! To help decide what we design, I asked you guys to fill out a survey and I used those survey results to design the book cover! Watch the timelapse for the design: https://youtu.be/NUpFWvnxzFE

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing has made a couple of changes since I last made an uploading tutorial, so I figured it was time to do a new tutorial for KDP. In this video, we’re going to be uploading my book, Revenge in Rome, to Amazon KDP. And I will, of course, be walking through it all step by step with you. Following this tutorial, you’ll learn exactly how to upload your own ebook to Amazon KDP and set it up for pre-order or to immediately publish the book.

The books for my closed door romance pen name haven’t been selling, so I completely changed my book marketing strategy. Today I’m sharing with you what changes I made and how it’s affected my book sales. I’ve been consistently posting on social media for 60 days, so it’s time to share the results. I’ll be showing you what posts performed best on which platforms and how many books I sold. And yes, I will be sharing the exact numbers and my income. Let’s do a 60-day check-in on this social media experiment.

This was my first book signing back after maternity leave...and it did not go as planned. Lucky for you guys, I happened to be vlogging during all the chaos. Stick around to see how many books I ended up selling at the end of the day.

Beta reader feedback for my upcoming novel, Revenge in Rome, is in! Which means it’s time to sort through the feedback and start to edit. There was so much feedback this time around that I wanted to sort through it all and organize it a little better before I got started. In this video, I’ll show you how I organized the feedback chapter by chapter using my favorite writing software, Campfire.

My books haven’t been selling, so I’ve been working to redo my social media book marketing strategy. The first step was to start posting on social media every day. The second step was to redo my book’s blurbs, back matter, and sales pages. Now we’re moving on to step three, which is to write new hooks for social media. But I took it a step further than that, and I’m also putting these hooks into a database for myself to make posting to social media easier. Join me today to get a little tour of my database and see how I’m adding new hooks and book pitches.
