Training #601 – Hot Seats & Ask us Anything

We went in depth for two members in this hot seat and ask us anything session!

The latest news notes included recent USPS shipping rate increases and updates on the BkLnk tool, followed by detailed advice for a children's book author on formatting and publishing both print and Kindle versions. We covered some technical aspects as well as how to design around different devices and work with illustrators, including a cautionary tale from one of our earliest clients who hired us after getting illustrations that weren't appropriate for their book.

Additionally, we had a hot seat for a member promoting a relationship advice book, covering topics such as cover design, author profiles, leveraging existing email lists, and the potential of podcast and social media marketing. We highlighted the importance of clear targeting in advertising, especially during the holiday season, and the benefits of providing bonus materials to readers.
