One thing I didn’t expect when I started treating my book like more than just a book…
The book itself wasn’t the hardest part. Getting the right people to actually notice it, trust it, and care about what came after it was. I’ve made a few changes to how I approach that, and the difference has been pretty interesting. Has anyone else here had that experience, where the writing felt easier than everything that came after?

@Kevin Hall Yes, exactly, the “afterwork” is such a good way to put it. I’ve definitely found that part challenging too. I actually came across someone who helped me rethink how I was approaching the marketing side, and I’m really glad I did. It’s been making a noticeable difference in my sales, which I honestly didn’t expect at first. Have you found anything that’s worked particularly well for you when it comes to finding your tribe?
Widen the audience?
My book was recently published and I'm doing another version. The first was secular and this next one will be Christian, it is a parenting book about getting kids off screens. The scientific solutions work for kids and adults, though. I knew that, and readers keep telling me that. Should I write this next book, geared to parents and adults, or still just parents, and mention that adults can use it too, in the Amazon description?

@Mary Catherine Liscinski I’d probably keep the main focus on parents, but definitely mention that the approach can work for adults too. If readers are already telling you that, I’d listen to that signal. I’m curious, have you noticed adults responding to the book differently than parents? And do you think there’s enough interest to eventually make the adult angle its own book?
Hello everyone

@Joe Tyndall I know exactly what you mean. There’s always something you don’t realize you need to know until you’re already in the middle of it. I’ve actually been getting some help with the marketing side, and last month I did a little over $10K in sales. It’s made a big difference having someone who knows what they’re doing. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to refer you to the person who’s been helping me. Would you like me to connect you?
