Self Publishing Costs 💸
What was the most expensive part of your publishing process? What do you think you spent money on that wasn't necessary?

@Rebecca Phillips, That’s a powerful direction to take. Nonfiction like that can really make an impact, especially with a project like Lift Our Voice: Abuse Survivors Speak Their Truth. Scheduling that interview is a big step; it gives you something real to build momentum around. What do you feel you need the most help with right now as you move forward with this? And so far, what has been your biggest challenge when it comes to actually making progress on the project?

@Rebecca Phillips, I felt that time really is the biggest bottleneck. I can relate, though. I was in a very similar position not too long ago. I didn’t have any startup capital, and when I tried relying on loans and even looking for investors, it just didn’t work out the way I expected. It actually made things more stressful. What really changed things for me was when someone introduced me to a proven side gig that started generating income alongside what I was building. It took some pressure off and gave me more breathing room to actually focus on growing. Would you be open to exploring something like that on the side if it could help ease the time and financial pressure a bit?
Quick question, just out of interest...
If you could sell your eBook directly from your site, and readers could read it instantly in a private library (no downloads), would you use it?

@Ania Ahlborn, Hello, nice to connect with you too. What kind of business are you into at the moment, or are you just getting started exploring things online?

@Ania Ahlborn, That’s awesome. Being a published author is no small feat. What kind of books do you write? I’m curious, what are you aiming to achieve next with your work? And what’s been your biggest challenge so far on that journey?
WHY: Lessons in Self Publishing?
This space started strong and has been lacking for the past few weeks. I know I have been traveling and my publishing business just published two books, so... busy, busy, busy! BUT, I want a refresh here. More people helping people. More publishing tips. More successfully published books! Please comment below why you joined this group and lets get back to WHY WE ARE HERE!

@Jeannette Mccurdy, That makes a lot of sense, being in a space where people are actually executing and not just talking definitely speeds up your growth. What are you currently working on right now, and where do you feel you need the most help or support at this stage?
Quick thought:
A lot of people wait until they feel ready… but that moment never really comes. You just start, mess up, learn, and get better as you go. I’m at that stage right now focused on improving every day and staying consistent no matter what. If you could give ONE piece of advice to someone trying to level up, what would it be?

Now running multiple 6-figure stores and helping others skip the mistakes I made. If I can do it, you can too
