Anyone else with your brain overflowing with ideas and things to do? Not sure if I should create the website, make lead magnets, finish my second book.. or make Content for social media ahhhhh! Who else feels like they have too many tabs open.. lol

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm almost done with a few free printables to list on my book brand site (still under construction, hoping this next week it will go live), as well as my first book made into an Ebook. My question is, for those of you that have made your children's paperback book into an ebook, how did you keep your ebook file size low? What is an appropriate download size? I am thinking to go into photoshop and resize/optimize all backgrounds to lower res, but curious to see what y'all have done. Secondly, I'm not sure I understand exactly how to offer the ebook as a free download for limited time. Does that have to go thru Amazon KDP for free download or can I just link the book on my site ( sorry, newbie, be kind)..

Hi everyone - I have a few ebooks where I’d like the pages to dispkay in Kindle as a spread vs. one page at a time. I use Kindle Create and think I have it set that way, but when I view on my iPad in landscape view, it only shows one page at a time. Do I need to upload thise files with the spread as one image? Any suggestions are greatly appreicated!

Hi Everyone, Happy Saturday! I’d love to hear what’s actually worked for other authors/creators when it comes to growing an email list I already have a free coloring page lead magnet for my children's series The Sploot Friends, but I’m struggling more with the traffic side of things. Where are you guys getting the most email signups from? - Instagram? - TikTok? - Pinterest? - Etsy? - Facebook groups? - YouTube? - In-person events? And are you posting the freebie constantly or using other strategies to drive people to it? I have put a video out on my Instagram, Tik Tok and Youtube about signing up for my email list, but haven't had much luck. Would love any real-world tips or things that surprised you!

Well, I wouldn't have done this without @Harleigh Manske 's encouragement... I made a video about my America 250 book earlier today! I wasn't completely happy with the lighting, the audio is a little out of sync, and I need a better podcasting space LOL... but the message is delivered! I've had 9 views and one comment already! I recommend YouTube. Getting started was terrifying but turned out to be far easier than I thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGcqbkSTE0Q
