Which cover/title should I use?

If I could go back almost 5 years and start my children's book publishing business all over again, there are quite a few things I would do differently. And some of those mistakes cost me a LOT of time and money! For example, did you know I spent around $500 on Amazon Ads when I published my first children's book and only made TWO book sales?! Yep. That was a painful lesson to learn. But after years of publishing children's books on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and beyond, I've learned what works, what doesn't, and what I would never do again. So, in this week's YouTube video, I'm sharing 7 mistakes I'd NEVER make again as a self-published children's book author! Whether you're working on your first book or you've already published several, I hope these lessons save you some time, money, and frustration. And let me know in the comments if you've made any of these mistakes yourself! I promise you're not alone.
