Hi everyone - I'm trying to revamp my FB ads after a few months break. I have a Shopify store to which obviously I run sales ads, but I also run traffic ads to my translations because those are all in KU in their respective foreign markets. My question is this: A person who taught me how to set up my Shopify store and who has generally given me solid advice is now recommending that if I don't have a separate FB ad account for my sales ads and a separate one for traffic ads, that it's going to mess up the new FB algos and AI. Having a separate ad account for sales vs traffic seems like one more organizational headache, and I haven't seen anyone else saying this is necessary, but thought I'd check here if folks have heard anything like this? According to this person's information, the new FB Andromeda system will have its data polluted if the objectives in a single ad account are mixed?!?

I'm looking into getting my books translated using ScribeShadow. I write sweet romcoms and was planning to start out with German, and if it goes well, trying French and Spanish. I am considering putting them on Amazon and my direct store, but I'm wondering if it is worth the hassle. Or is it just another shiny object hijacking my attention? Do any of you have experience with this?

Ok - so I write paranormal romantic comedy - so of course I downloaded the new k-lytics report. I'm still a VERY new author so this is all new to me. But I wanted to see what it said and writing to market. I'll be completely honest - I hate reading these reports. I get all messed up especially when looking for specific information. So - I asked ChatGPT to analyze the report for me and here's my prompt where I attached the PDF: Can you please analyze this report and list the best style of paranormal romantic comedy that would - which tropes may work best, keywords, etc or should I try something else for writing to market It came back with a whole list of things - best tropes ranked by marketability, keywords and their weight for this style.... and a bunch of other things. I also asked about the BEST romcom style - and it's not "me" but can be if I really wanted to - I just like paranormal because I like things like magical dust bunnies as familiars etc. So thought I would share in case anyone else hates reading reports and wants specific information.

I'm particularly concerned for my friends in the south, because I know that they aren't used to this, though we are also not really used to this nonsense in Colorado either! So let's check in! How's it going with the cold? And more importantly, how is your writing going this week?
