Oh my goodness, congratulations. I just published too. Doesn't it feel amazing to hold our book in our hands for the first time?
Are you using any specific advertising or ways to get the word out? I've got ads on Goodreads, but I'm wondering what else I can do. Amazon ads require a monthly subscription which I can't afford.
I used my mac to format too. What printer did you use? I went with IngramSpark.
Oh, I'm so excited to find another indie author here 🤗

I paid for a launch program, mostly to learn the process. I haven't bought ads yet, other than the book rebel promotions that came as part of my launch. I'll be working on ads this coming week. I'm on a REALLY limited budget at this point, though. With it just being one stand alone book, I don't know how much $$ I want to pour into it until I have another book out/ready to publish.
I'm just publishing through amazon at this point.
Cool.
Yeah, I've got a very limited budget too. Anything I can find that is free I can jump on.
If you have a mailing list you can exchange with others to introduce your book to their list and you do the same for them. Needs to be somewhat in your genre.
And sorry I never followed up on your original contacting me. I have been crazy busy and behind with everything...
No worries. If people can help that's great, if it just doesn't work out, I completely understand 😉
Yeah, I sent about 300 emails through mailchimp 😁
