@steven_p_aitchison: 📚 7 Books Could Pay You FOR LIFE I genuinely believe an indie author could write ONE seven-book novella series, build it properly, market it properly, and potentially earn from it for decades. No endless publishing treadmill. No feeling like you need to release a new book every month. Seven books. One strong series. A long-term strategy. In this video, I explain why I think it's absolutely possible. #IndieAuthor #SelfPublishing #AuthorTips #BookMarketing #IndieAuthorSecrets
Done 25 so far and I still can’t even pay for my food for a week 😂 On the secrets Steven, trying to make it happen. Made the mistake of 95% writing and am paying for it now. However now I’m doing the 80/20 and have been for the last six months and don’t see it changing 😂

Do readers ever complain about the novella length, or do they like it? Martha Wells has done well with novellas too. I'm considering it. Thanks!

What about Amazon ads? Do they go without saying? Or do you believe you can skip those and spend on FB instead?

I have written a series of 8 cosy Tudor mystery books (4 novellas and 4 novels), and am currently writing a 4 book quadrilogy/tetralogy to extend that original 8 book series. It’s a lot of work. But sales are slow, and I know it’s because of marketing (lack of) but I find it boring and costly. Any advice?

So I am 50k words in trying to get 80k I could have stopped at 30k and this is a serialised book? Too late now!

Is there a specific genre that’s best for a series in order to make a full time income from it?

Do you find readers complain about 30k being short? What's your price point for those books?
