Hello,
I have a question, although I know not as many ppl do the kindle publishing thing, but hopefully the few that do can shed a little help and light as I'm now in the process of scaling up.
1. Would you just create your own competition by creating new pen names in the same genre
OR
Just continue to expand making books in the same genre under the same pen name
At this time, I don't think I can do both, without spreading myself to thin. When I am making more and have the investment money to be all Vince McMahon about it and do both, then I will. For now, wondering which is the 'better' route.
2. Mailchimp - at the END or beginning of book.
Although at first guess I would say the beginning, I'd think it comes off as too spammy.
3. Do you do PRINT versions for all your books - or just the one's that 'sell' well? Interestingly enough I found that one book that I had which was selling a bit poorly (by my standards) was/is actually selling steadily with print. So that kinda skewed what I thought I "knew" about print versions of the books. (yes, we live in a day and age, where print comes AFTER digital) At least the publishing business got it right (take note music industry). Or at least Amazon did.
4. I have never really kept track of teh KENP thing. But since this month my KENP deal has multiplied like 10 fold. My books aren't that long though. I always only really looked at that red line (sales). I guess this isn't really a question. i'm just wondering if I'm making more profit from my sales or my rise in KENP.
5. Best wishes for 2016.
