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 👀

Hardest part has been consistent books sales. Getting new followers on social media but they don't often convert to sales or reviews. Tried your freebie idea to get people to my website but that has not taken off yet either. So maybe for me its finding that perfect mix of what my followers want?

Hello and so great to be here with all of you! 🤗 I have published two children's books so far. Clark the Mountain Beaver and His Big Adventure! was self-published 10 years ago and was my first introduction into the literary world. It was quite the learning process! My second book, A Bug-Lightful Discovery, was published July 2024 using a hybrid publishing company which made the process sooooo much easier. I am currently working on editing Clark the Mountain Beaver to release as a second edition in celebration of his 10th Anniversary and look to launch it in November of this year. 🥳

@Deb Hockenberry Hello Deb! I the hybrid publisher was not cheap but they provided a road map from start to finish that was super helpful. Plus they have a whole team in place to support the publishing process from start to finish. I was able to pick my own illustrator which was important to me but that was an additional cost as well. I used Miraim Laundry Publishing (https://miriamlaundry.com). She is based in Canada. She also offers a great Children's Book Master Class with all the resources you need to do it yourself. It's worth checking out!

Feeling impatient...
You know how we always want something done like yesterday? Well, in order for me to implement the courses I've taken from Harleigh, I have to set a few things up.... Right now, I'm in the process of uploading my books to various platforms for distribution...it feels like an arduous task because I have a good number of books I need to upload...just having them on Amazon is not enough. I am going to sell them on my own website and also get them into book stores. It almost feels too big, like a mountain that see.s to big to climb, but then I think of that saying... "How do you eat an elephant? 1 bite at a time" How will i put all my books in the proper distribution channels? 1 book at a time...1 platform at a time. If you are in a similar situation...I just want to encourage you to keep going. It will get done. And then the sales will come rolling in. :)

What are some of the distribution channels you are using? I have only put my books on IngramSpark. Always looking for more outlets!
