I launched a book on Amazon over six months ago, and while it’s been generating steady royalties—bringing in almost **$1,200 from paperback sales**—I recently decided to test something new… **TikTok Shop.** In less than **20 days**, that same book has already made **$315**—and that’s just the beginning. 👀🔥 TikTok does require more hands-on work (printing labels, packing, and shipping books yourself), but here’s why it’s WORTH IT: ✅ **More Visibility** – TikTok prioritizes its own marketplace, making it easier for your book to get discovered. ✅ **Better Profit Margins** – Since you’re selling direct, you keep more of the revenue instead of giving Amazon the biggest cut. ✅ **More Sales Potential** – Unlike Amazon, where you rely on searches, TikTok lets you drive sales instantly through engaging videos and LIVE selling. Let this be your sign to not put all your books on one marketplace and work on branching out. I am trying to double my income this year!!

Hi y’all!!! So, I’ve been thinking these days … I am probably not the only one that goes into procrastination mode when wanting to get going with writing a book. And I want to stop that chain. And now my proposal: Looking for one or some people that are at the same point as me and has (have) the same problem as me. the Challenge would be to do it together. Following the course, I’d like to start from the top to create a book. And would like to have someone(s) going the road with me. Pushing each other to publish. Would be nice if someone is up for it. Just as a little side note, I’m in Europe so non US time zone 😩. Talk soon!

It's unfortunate that TikTok went down today in the US. I was really looking forward to using the platform to promote my books this year, especially since I just got approved as a seller! 📚✨ While it's disappointing, I'm staying hopeful that TikTok will bounce back stronger than ever. I believe that with a little patience, I can still find great opportunities to connect with readers and accelerate my book sales once it’s back up and running. Share in the comments if you used TikTok to promote your books!

One thing I’ve learned on this journey as an indie author is that success is all about staying curious, trying new things, and pushing past the roadblocks life throws your way. After jumping through a TON of hoops (seriously, Amazon, a whole month?!), I finally got my bulk order of author copies! 📚✨ And now, I’m taking the plunge into something I’ve been putting off for far too long—selling one of my books on TikTok! It’s a little nerve-wracking to step into something new, but also super exciting. TikTok has been calling my name for a while, and it’s time to see what this platform can do for my sales. To all my fellow dream-chasers: don’t be afraid to try new strategies or explore uncharted territory. Growth comes from taking those leaps of faith, even when it feels a little scary or outside your comfort zone. So here I go, diving headfirst into the world of TikTok sales. Wish me luck! 🍀 And if you’ve been putting something off, let this be your sign to go for it—whatever it is. You never know what amazing things might come from taking that first step. What’s something new you’re thinking about trying? Let’s cheer each other on! 💪✨

Since I started, I’ve been publishing one book per quarter, which felt manageable and safe. But this year, I’m raising the bar. 🚀 I’ve decided to challenge myself like never before and commit to publishing one book every month! That’s 12 books in 2025—a pace I never thought I could achieve. Why am I doing this? Because growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone. I want this to be the year I break past limits I didn’t even know I had. The year I prove to myself that with focus, dedication, and a little courage, anything is possible. The year I inspire others to chase their goals, no matter how intimidating they may seem. This challenge is about more than just publishing books—it’s about creating opportunities, building momentum, and generating the income I know I’m capable of. It’s about living up to my potential and showing others what’s possible when you step into the unknown. If you’ve been holding yourself back, let this be your reminder: the path to growth is rarely comfortable, but it’s always worth it. 🌟 Let’s make 2025 a year to remember. 💪 Who's ready to join me in making bold moves? 💥
