One of the biggest mistakes I see authors make is waiting until their book is published before thinking about marketing. In my experience, the real growth starts before launch. What helped me the most was building visibility early, creating a launch plan, staying consistent with promotion, and making sure readers knew my book existed before release day. That's the approach I used with In Her Own League, and it completely changed how I looked at publishing. A great book is important, but readers can't buy a book they've never discovered. If you're writing your next book, don't wait until it's published to think about marketing. Start building your audience now, connect with readers in your genre, and create a simple roadmap for your launch. Even small, consistent steps can make a huge difference over time. Question: At what stage do you usually start thinking about marketing your book before you publish, after you publish, or only when sales begin to slow down?

devastating.. put a lot of effort and money into my last book just to find out that i didnt factor in one MAJOR thing on the niche research before.. i just published a book that cost me around 400 dollars in a topic that is so heavily dominated by external traffic over tiktok that its practically impossible to rank by ads.. 2 weeks of ad campaigns without any results speak the same language.. thats a major defeat id say but well, THATS a lesson i learned the hard way good sales + low reviews + zero A+ content on a niche competitor is NOT a signal to win that thing, its a stay away signal and hinting at other factors like tiktok marketing

Ty Roman and Andre I reworked my A+ after today's call with the new upgrades and am so happy with the results, they are clean and bright and the process was very easy

category is success story, we'll see about that in a few weeks/months😅 did basically everything in publishflow and even though it was a bit rocky here and there, @Roman Redl and @Andrey Bernhart were both very supportive and approachable until all issues were fixed, thanks again for putting in the effort guys gonna be very interesting to whitness how the book will do in the coming weeks (at least for me of course)
