⚓ Welcome to the Author Business Discussion Board!
This space is dedicated to the business side of being an author: marketing, branding, platform building, email lists, launches, revenue streams, productivity, systems, long-term growth, and navigating the realities of running a sustainable author career. Writing the book is only part of the journey. Building a professional author business requires strategy, consistency, and smart decision-making. This board is here to support those conversations. Use this space to: ✔ Ask marketing and business questions ✔ Discuss branding and audience growth ✔ Share wins, launches, and lessons learned ✔ Troubleshoot platform and business challenges ✔ Learn new strategies and tools ✔ Connect with authors building intentional careers To get started, introduce yourself and tell us: 1. What is your biggest author business goal right now? 2. What platform or marketing area are you currently focused on? 3. What business challenge are you hoping to solve this year? We’re glad you’re here. Let’s build stronger author businesses together.

Hello, I'm Bennette, my pen name is Angie Street, new author! My biggest business goal is to replace my husband's salary in the next 3-5 years so he can retire and we can keep the same lifestyle. I have managed his business for 36 years and now I am building my own. Trying to build a website on Squarespace that I actually like, so far failing to figure it out. I want to be able to sell direct, signed paperbacks for now and then expand as I have more books out, only my first is published. This year I am hoping to work out a balance of all the things I need to handle on the business end with writing and publishing. I have been doing it by the seat of pants, as in yesterday I had to stop and work out a way to take payments when I found out the bookstore who added my book to the shelves last week set up a date in June for me to have a book signing event and I will sell my paperbacks direct at the event. Then I had to get swag designed and ordered so it will arrive in time. There went my writing in the afternoon! So I would like to get ahead of the game and have a battleplan, instead of all the on the spot figure it out and do it.

I think my FB ads are working, I watched @DavidGaughran's video on tailoring FB ads and since I launched the campaign I have sold between 5-16 books every day!! I only set it up with 1 ad copy that I created on Canva. I think I may ad a couple more ads and test them to see if there is a performance difference as move forward, does that make sense or do I just leave it alone? My per click has been .21 only in FB feeds.

I am signed up, but I also have my one year old granddaughter at that time, so I will do my best to listen with my airpods while playing with her. Will it be recorded in case she is having a day and I miss some of it?

Welcome to the Writing Craft Community
I'm Troy Lambert, the Plot Dude. This space is really exciting to me, because there is nothing I like more than talking about craft and story. It's really the foundation of your author business. You need a good story before you can do anything else, and that means finishing your draft. So that's what we're all about here. Feel free to chat, peer to peer, ask questions, or even just commiserate about the writing life. It's your chance to connect with like minded authors, editors, and other members of the community for advice or just a friend to talk to. To get started, feel free to introduce yourself, and please, tell us about your pets. That's really what's important here.

@Troy Lambert I made it passed that spot. I decided to try writing both versions in my head and then deciding later. But, after I wrote it the first way, decided I liked it moved on!

@John Elcik So true about the pets! I live out in the country and in the bio in my book (I write cozy mysteries with a sleuth dog in them) I was talking about my actual dogs and wrote that my dogs just find dead animals not dead people! Never know what they are going to leave at my front door!

Checking in!
For this morning, I am doing what I hope to be the last edits on Baker Street, a new Max Boucher series, and what I hope will re-ignite it, as it has been a while since I released a book in that one. I'm also working on ideas for new covers for the first two books - all that before tackling edits for other people. As we head toward the weekend (for some of you, I don't know what those are) what are you working on?
