It's never too late!
Hi I'm Cate. I'm a retired teacher and just got my first three books accepted on Amazon KDP. On to marketing. Happy to have found Harleigh and this group!

Hi Cate! I'm also a retired teacher who started self-publishing children's books after retirement. I love the continued learning and growing in this new adventure. I'm sure you will too. I'm new to the group, but have enjoyed learning from Harleigh's videos for a while already. I'm looking forward to learning from this group.
What’s your biggest struggle?
I’m curious, what would you say has been your biggest struggle when it comes to children children’s book publishing? And have you overcome it yet? I know all of our strengths and weaknesses are different, so I’m curious to see what your response will be 👀

I think my biggest struggle is figuring out how to get consistent online sales and reviews. I try to make sure my covers and descriptions are inviting. I use KDP Select to launch and usually get a few reviews with a new book using the free downloads. But I'm going to try creating stories in Instagram (I'm still learning Instagram) to promote the free Kindle Unlimited books as suggested in one of the videos.

Hello! I'm new to this community and am excited to join. I LOVE the video tips posted by Harleigh. I am a retired teacher and have started a new adventure as a children's book author in my retirement. I have self-published four children's books so far and have learned so much about self-publishing, marketing, and the business side of things. Over the last 3 years, I have built my author platform and brand with a website (junebugtales.com), a new blog, and an email list. But I still have lots to learn and I'm looking forward to learning from this community.
