A cozy LitRPG fantasy. If you've ever wondered, gee, I wish I could live in this game and only eat pie and drink coffee, this is the cozy fantasy for you. Follow along if you want to see how I manage the Kickstarter! I'll probably do a few videos along the way because I am creating a funnel, and sort of an upside down one, too. Soon I'll do a video breaking down why my KS page is laid out the way it is and how I lean into genre and trope HEAVY to give potential readers the feels I want them to have.

Any Kindle All Stars here? If so, how many page reads did it take to push you over the edge? I’m having a good month (for me) and have over 270, 648 pages read so far this month. Am I in the ball park or still short by about half? I’ve heard the number is closer to 500,000, but really I have no idea. How rare is it for non-romance readers to hit an All Star? ChatGPT tells me 270,647 puts me in the top 1-2 % of indies but that seems unlikely, and ChatGPT lies—a lot.

I always talk about how the ads for my books are the last to get any attention, but I decided to schedule time into my calendar as though I were my own client! Here's the swathe I made (all set at $10/day to run for 7 days -- an investment of $1050). Note: I am not anti-AI, and not judging anyone who uses AI. I'm more anti-corporate-AI-monopoly. That being said, AI sentiment is pretty mid at the moment, and I have acres of books that are not touched by AI at all, so why not use that as a marketing angle? We'll see if it yields fruit. I could have also fired up another 10-15 tests as there are a ton of combos I didn't do, plus video games, more TV and movie options, plus more ads aimed at women, but this is already $150/day in testing, lol.
