Has anyone put their audiobook on YouTube and had success from it? I'm a big fan of NotebookLM now, Gemini Notebook. It has an Audio Overview that creates a podcast discussing the content you upload. You can have the two hosts debate the content. I put in my Rule #1: Who dares wins; the detractor was not kind. I think it is great content to promote the book and wonder if I should push it.

But maybe more importantly....what made you hit the "buy" button? Had you seen that author before? Was it a recommendation for a friend? Think about what made you want to buy it in the first place. This can kind of help you reverse engineer how to do the same for your own books to make your readers hit the "buy" button for you!

Editing, design, ads, coaching, all of it together. Hoping this might be helpful to set expectations for new authors who join. If there was anything you wish you didn't spend money on or that you should have, feel free to mention that in the comments!

I'm looking forward to learning from the group. My goal is to go from 10s of copies sold to 100's.
