I’m now four months into my social media experiment where I’m posting every day in an effort to increase my book sales. But how is it really going? Today we’re doing another monthly check-in to reveal my social media stats, talk about what content performed best, and ultimately, how many books I sold.

Girl I feel your frustration so much right now
Thank you so much for sharing your numbers! ❤️ I’ve been following your marketing strategy because I only recently started sharing my writing on social media. With all the work I’ve been putting into it, it’s been frustrating to constantly get around 200 views, but now I see that’s perfectly normal. 😅
It boggles my mind that people would Pirate books that are available in Kindle Unlimited.🙄
Mandi have you ever thought about serialized fiction, releasing short installments over time makes readers less hesitant about micro purchases. Data from self-publishing platforms shows that splitting a 100,000 word novel into individual paid serialized episodes can net up to 5x higher revenue per word than selling that same book as a single $4.99 ebook.
Love that you are so real with us. I’m definitely finding trial reels helpful too.
Thanks for being honest. Much appreciated!
That’s a lot of work! Kudos to an author who is authentic and honest. You keep doing what you love! ❤❤❤❤
They say the reason why so many self published authors don’t make it is cause they give up too soon. So stick with it! ❤
Your perspectives on everything publishing and marketing related are so valuable! Thank you for all you do. Love seeing new videos from you.
