Hi everyone! I was going to post this in the Mastermind FB group, but I really appreciate the smaller group here and the sense of community. I hope it's okay if I seek input! For anyone who has changed their covers (this would be my first time), did you do an ad test to choose a new one? And was there any trouble if the cover at retailers was still the old version while you ran the test? I hope that makes sense... There's been a swing in cover design format in my main subgenre, and I want to go with the flow, but I don't know if I should just dive right in with a new cover that I choose, or do a test between a couple of new options, or... well, you get the picture. 😅 This is my first rodeo, so any input and opinions are so very welcome and appreciated!! 🙌

If you've ever heard this phrase and wondered what it means, here are my thoughts: 1. Set up a business entity or at least get a separate bank account for your book earns. 2. Track your income and expenses. Re-invest profits into your business. (people like the book Profit First for a strategy, but I only apply the advice that works for me) 3. Write for you, edit for the reader, package the book for the market. 4. Stasia teaches the 5 levers of marketing - 1. Book cover 2. Book blurb 3. Ad copy (the hooks) 4. Ad creative (the video or image) 5. Audience. Pull these levers (change out covers, copy, blurbs) until you find profit. Those are my high level thoughts, BUT I'm asking Golden Angel to come share her Money Matters for Authors talk about Money Mistakes authors make during the Bootcamp. She's also going to do a Launch Budget presentation, so if you have any specific questions, post them here!

You have two opportunities to get coaching this week! Check the calendar for links! 1. Strategy with Tara Crescent (tomorrow) 2. Millionaire Author Mindset call - I'll rewire your unconscious so you effortless reach your goals!

Great news! The Writing Wives (Jill and Malorie Cooper) have graciously given us a whole ads course! And @Jill Cooper is willing to do a Q/A for us whenever we like. Check it out in the Classroom beside the mini bootcamp :D

My author friend Tara is #1 Restorative and high Strategic...and an amazing resource to help me get my head straight about market strategy. She's offered to do a group coaching call for us where she analyzes people's catalogues to make sure they're positioned correctly for the market, plus answer their questions. If you want to volunteer as tribute: Post your pen name and specific questions here!
