Training #260 – News & Hot Seats
On today's live training, we had one news note: that Ingram Spark's pricing is going up by 2% for printing costs across all print formats/color/paper/binding types.
On the training, we covered topics including font choices and colors on a cover, book spines, contrasting colors, white backgrounds on Kindle books, character formats for book descriptions, optimizing subtitles and tag lines, modeling similar books for ideas, proofreading your description, giveaways for your books, creating coloring book pages, formatting a lead capture page, setting up an opt-in page using the Book List Rocket, properly formatting for books regarding justification, chapter formatting, etc.
Our hot seats and questions covered more than just books, and we had a great variety this week:
- Jeana Gladstone (Children's Book, cover)
- Stacie Morrell (Children's Book, relaunch)
- Jess E Hooper (Genre/Romance, opt-in page)
- Joe Leech (book formatting)
