Group Discussion: How'd you get your last 10 book sales?
For next week's coaching call, I'd like to discuss what's working for authors right now. Was it Amazon Ads? A podcast? Library sales? Something else? Let me know below what's working for you, and pop in next Monday to join the crew!

Amazon Ads. Without it, sales are very small. With ads the book sells, but I still have to learn how to grow sales and keep costs reasonable. Luckily I found an app that helps with that.

Question about the rules
I shared a good experience with a tool that helped me make my Amazon ads work. It got banned because of the rule about banning self promotion. I feel a bit stunned because I was sharing this in good faith. It was in no way self promotion, since I have nothing to do with the company nor was this an affiliate Link. Now I don´t know how to interpret this. Is it not allowed to share good experiences? To give recommendations? Or was the issue that I included an external link? Please clarify. Demian

Readers Can't Tell if It's AI
Watch the whole video before you totally freak out :D Also, here's the article I refer to in the video: https://selfpublishingadvice.org/ai-generated-stories/

Every Point you make is well put and well taken. I want to emphasize another important point though. Readers get absorbed by AI stories more because they are modeled / style oopied / stolen from the best authors out there. There should be more discussion about what this means for the future of authors and the future of good literature. (hint: AI cannibalizing on its own content, "model collapse", eroding of quality).

What to offer as a lead magnet?
For my books in the personal growth / therapy niche I had set up free mini-courses. For the exercises I provided guided versions per audio streams, videos and dedicated forums. Some years ago this worked pretty well. Not anymore. Only very few people sign up and nobody posts into the forum. I wonder, maybe what I offer is to much for a free mini course? Maybe the readers sense a sort of dissonance between "free" and what I provide? Maybe they would feel another kind of commitment if I would ask for say 27 Dollars and then they actually would use the forum?'Maybe they kind of think: "I have so much free stuff that I signed up for and never looked at it. It is not worth it." When I consider this I get the idea to split this in two: A free series of.videos (without exercises and without forum) and a paid mini-course with exercises, group coaching and forum. What do you think? What is your experience?

@Joe Tyndall Yes for every book (3 in total) I am currently offering such a free mini-course.

Congrats! And the topic is very interesting. It seems to me that AI is based on breaking the law. Starting with the copyright law ...
