Today marks my 4-year anniversary of being a self-published Children's Book Author. I had so many high hopes for where this journey would take me, but I would never have guessed it would become my full-time job so quickly! In this new video, I share the top 4 things I have learned over the past 4 years (you probably won't guess what I'm gonna say). I hope you enjoy it and it helps or inspires you on this crazy road that we call self-publishing children's books! Watch it Here 👇 https://youtu.be/KqdpkipwQC8?si=2VUBFOQANwGuMbsA

A lot of children’s book authors think they need to run paid ads to get sales… Don't waste your hard-earned money! In this new YouTube video, I walk you through how you can use Instagram to advertise your book for free, get more visibility, and actually start getting eyes on your book without spending money on ads. This is the exact approach I’ve used to grow organically, and it’s something you can start doing right away! I really hope you like this video, and please leave a comment below for any new video suggestions!

I just released a new podcast episode:​“4 Things I’ve Learned After 4 Years of Self-Publishing Children’s Books.” This was originally posted on YouTube last week, but I know it’s not always easy to sit down and watch a full video. So if you didn’t get a chance to watch it, you can now listen to it on the go. In this episode, I talk about the real side of this journey. The parts that don’t always get shared. The ups, the disappointments, and what actually helped me keep going and turn this into a full-time business. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like things just aren’t working the way you hoped… you’re not alone. 🎧 You can listen here:​​https://authorharleighrose.com/episodes/5-4-things-i-ve-learned-after-4-years-of-self-publishing-children-s-books​ I hope this one helps you feel a little more grounded and keeps you moving forward!

My brand new podcast, Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, is officially live! When I first shared that I was thinking about launching a podcast, I got such an overwhelmingly positive response from you. It honestly made me even more excited to bring this to life! Believe me, I know how busy you are. After a long day, the last thing you want to do is sit down and watch a full YouTube video. That’s exactly why I created this podcast, so you can still learn and grow your children’s book business in a way that fits into your daily life. You can listen while you’re driving, cleaning, walking… wherever. Each episode is designed to help you start your week with clarity and momentum, with simple, practical strategies you can actually use to grow your audience and sell more books. New episodes will be released every Monday! 🎧 You can listen to the first three episodes here:​​ https://authorharleighrose.com/ If you enjoy it, it would mean so much to me if you followed the podcast on your favorite app and left a review. That’s what helps more children’s book authors find it. I’m really proud of this, and I can’t wait for you to listen!
