Paying for it
I’m sure everyone has been in the position I am in, but I am so curious to know how all of you have been able to fund your writing and publishing projects? Are you your own bank? Are you waiting a decade and saving up? Are you taking out a loan? How are people paying for these expenses and steps to be successful? Do you have any regrets in the early stages of financing your projects?

@Joe Tyndall I use to have my website in HTML - not flexible enough and took too long to update for simple things. I recently switched to Tertulia and have my daughter doing all the updates. What would have taken an hour or two to update in HTML, can now be done in Tertulia in a matter of minutes. I believe the cost is less than $10/month for the plan I have. Just FYI.

@Writer Larry A. I would rank them more than vote one over the other. For paying nothing and getting something (hopefully) in return Podcasts and social media are my choice over book signings. But again, there is no guarantees of sales (or views) - a lot there depends upon the audience you have built. For book sales from one particular venue - I have had experience where I have done signings and had great sales, and others where there have been fewer sales - but always some sales. However, there is my cost of buying the books for resale, signage, gas for the car, etc. My 2 cents.
The Author Launch Kit
Hi, I have just published The Inspiration Of Words Poetry Book 2 Dynamic Christian Poetry on Amazon. com. I am writing this little note, because l used the the author launch kit to help me write a description for the 2nd Mum E-Book and the book l am working on. I was very, very surprised at the results for the descriptions. I was given for my current book. I answered all the questions it posed me, because l did not just want just any description. I am happy to use this kit again and the thing is l have only just got started on with it because it can do so much.

@Suzi Elton what I have found, and I have almost 5 books now, is that it has helped me with varying aspects my own marketing journey. I have maybe used about 60% of the tools. Its not an everyday use for me, but an as needed use. If I was looking at it today, I would of course use the 7 day free trail and test out various features.
THANK YOU to Our Leaders in JULY
Quick thank you to this community. Every time I pop in here, someone is answering a question, sharing what worked, or cheering on another author. That does not happen everywhere. It happens here because of you. Helen Keller said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." That is this group. To celebrate those that are really in here all the time, we drew one name from our 30-day leaderboard. Congratulations, Rob Cole! You've won an AI Discoverability Audit plus a 20-minute call with the Book Launchers team to walk through your results and map your next steps. That call is not something you can buy anywhere. Keep showing up for each other. It matters. Now a special note because you will see in the video Roger actually wins .. but Roger is a client of ours and we are doing something like this for him already. That said, Roger if you want this exact thing, you can let us know too. Rob, to claim your prize just email @Angela Jones at [email protected] She needs a few details from you so we can complete your audit, and then we will get you scheduled to review the audit with someone on our team!! Congratulations, Rob, and thank you again to everyone who continues to make this such a helpful and supportive community.

@Rob Cole Congrats Rob!
Working with Ingram Sparks
All just some info to share, and perhaps some venting too. I have recently uploaded both my latest book manuscript and cover to IS. After an initial change to the cover format - all was accepted by IS. However - it took them 6 days to finally come back to me with their acknowledgement that the book has now been accepted, and I could finally enable it for distribution - meaning shortly it will be on pre-sale. They could not tell me at all when to expect that to happen - in fact their advice was to keep checking the various distributor platforms to see when it gets listed. So - FYI - build extra time into your schedules when working with these guys.

@Joe Tyndall Patience can be a good guide right now. Make the book the best it can be first.
I got my book today!
WOW! It's no longer an idea, or a concept. It's a book! I'm ready for this next phase of my life. I wouldn't have been able to do this the help of my friends at BookLaunchers!
I got my book today!
