ADVICE ON SELF-PUBLISHING, Continued
Let’s pick up my List of 10 Tips with Number 6.
6. Write everything you will need to upload your manuscript prior to doing it. Don’t try to wing it. Give a great deal of thought to: Categories, Keywords, Product Description, Author Profile, Pricing, etc.
Save all your upload data in a file separate from your manuscript file so you can copy/paste where needed if you plan to publish on platforms other than Kindle.
The same basic information may need some modifications as required by the other platforms, but you’ve already created the bulk of it.
7. Always use the Preview function to check what you uploaded. Take your time. Only click “publish” when everything has been checked.
8. As soon as your upload has gone “live,” buy a copy and go through it. On an ereader, you’ll immediately see if something is wrong. If you find errors, take action immediately to correct the problem.
9. Make sure you have your marketing and promotion plan in place before you publish a book. Write it out and plug it into your calendar so you know what to do and when to do it.
10. Accept that sometimes things just don’t go as planned and some books don’t succeed. If you made mistakes, do what you can to correct them.
If your book doesn’t find an audience, do what you can to improve the situation, but don’t spend all your time trying to keep it on life support. Write the next book.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
That’s enough for today. Come back Friday, September 11, 2026, to read Part 3 of 3, Rewards for Me and Maybe for You, the unbelievable part of my journey—what happened for me and what digital publishing may do for you.
