{OMIFA} Do you know the cycle?

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Building a successful indie fiction career is a lot like building any other business—it’s a process. And regardless of how amazing your book is, your income as an author comes down to one thing: sales.

Once you understand and implement the indie author sales cycle, you’ll be able to grow your reader base and create consistent book sales.

​Go here for a breakdown of the six steps to help you sell more books and build a sustainable author career.​

I'm just about ready to open the Indie Fiction Author Marketing Momentum Membership, so if you want to be the first to check it out (and get the best deal), jump on the waitlist here.​

Inside the IFAMMM, I'll be teaching a monthly marketing workshop, and I'd love to know which topics would be most helpful in increasing your readership and your book sales. I'll be sending out a poll this week to ask you and there will be prizes too, so keep a watch on your inbox, ok?

Have a great rest of your day!

Cheers,
Alicia

PS: Winter marches on through another packed week with Jack working hard preparing for his Black Belt pre-test coming up this weekend, as well as auditioning for and securing a spot in the UNH Youth Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately, I was with Lynn in the ER for hours on Friday, but she is getting better now, thankfully. She turns 20 on Friday - how is that possible?

Hi Reader, Let’s be real...Book marketing can feel like a hot mess. One day, someone says you have to be on TikTok. The next, they’re telling you to run ads. And somehow, you’re supposed to do all of this while still writing books?! No wonder it feels overwhelming. Here’s the thing - Most book marketing advice wasn’t actually made for indie fiction authors. That’s why so many strategies feel exhausting (and don’t even lead to more book sales).
