Hi
Hi! I’m Pete, based in Canada . I recently published a children’s picture book called What Is Tết? Tết Là Gì?, a bilingual story celebrating Lunar New Year.

That’s wonderful, congrats on the launch! 🎉 A bilingual children’s book celebrating Tết is such a meaningful way to share culture and spark curiosity in kids. What inspired you to tell this story?
Amazon's a joke!
I've published 44 children's illustrated books on Amazon, have a website, socials... all to no avail. I mean, everything is against you on Amazon: Self published books are too expensive, profit margin dismal, to get in the top 10 of a niche is a catch 22... About to go with digital narrated downloads on Fourthwall with Genially puzzles and quiz add on. The return is higher, the cost to the consumer a quarter of a book price. A win-win? I hope.

@Paul Easther Love the strategy! Sounds tricky but fun. How are you deciding what type of entertainment works best for the promos?

@Paul Easther That’s actually really clever, using the story itself as the hook and letting curiosity do the selling. The question-first approach should spark comments too 👍 Have you tested which questions stop the scroll best yet, or will that come after launch?
Happy to have found you.
I am a NEWBIE here and am looking forward to learning as much as I can to help with my newly launched children's book. ABRA*CA*DABRA was written over 14 years ago and has been launched earlier this month. There seems so much to do and it sounds like you have simplified things Harleigh. I am looking forward to connecting with you and the group.
Happy to have found you.

@Terry Bean Totally get that, it can be overwhelming! How do you decide which marketing “tentacles” to focus on first?
