🎧 [PODCAST] Get Your Amazon KDP Books in Stores!

I just released a new podcast episode, and this one is for those of you who have a dream of seeing your books stocked in bookstores.

A lot of self-published authors assume wholesale is complicated or that they need a distributor to make it happen.

You don't!

In this week's episode, I break down the two different paths you can take to get your books wholesale-ready, whether you're using print-on-demand through Amazon KDP or you have inventory on hand.

We'll talk about:
• IngramSpark
• ISBNs
• Wholesale discounts
• Shopify
• Faire
• Getting your books into bookstores, gift shops, and boutiques

If getting your books into stores is one of your goals this year, this episode will help you understand your options and the next steps to take.

Happy Children's Book Marketing Monday! 🎧

I just released a new podcast episode, and this is one that I wish somebody had shared with me when I first started self-publishing.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of scams floating around in the children's book world, and many of them specifically target new authors.

In this week's episode, I break down some of the most common scams I've seen over the past four years, both from my own experience and from conversations with coaching clients.

The goal isn't to scare you! It's to help you recognize the red flags before someone takes advantage of your excitement, your goals, or your wallet!

One of the biggest myths in self-publishing is that you need to go viral, have thousands of followers, or run ads to make money from your books. You don't!
