This was extremely helpful, generous and—as always—shared with such a sweet smile! I appreciate you taking the time to brainstorm and graciously share these strategies! Super helpful.

[linl]

Thanks Bethany. That was intense! You’ve done a lot of work and are kind hearted to share your knowledge. I wish you all the best and lots of success.

[christyt]

Can you show us how to set up a book on Goodreads, if you have time. I have tried for months and can not get it to recognize my book on Goodreads.
Thank you so much for this, it’s such great information

[stephanieamy]

One thing consistently missing from these checklist vods is cost. It all sounds like efficient advice and very well set out as to goals needed to reach before publishing. However, I have found that I just keep running out of funds and can not complete a list like this. I offered a giveaway with my novel plus a copy of my friend's latest Cd ( as they have a cameo role in the novel) asking people to follow me on Facebook and send me an email addy. One person responded. I feel as though these lists are great if you have an established reader base. However, what do the rest of us do? Keep throwing money into a bottomless pit.

This is a very helpful video as I also want to become a successful Indie Author. I also admire your dedication to your series which ignited my passion for writing again. After a slump.

[sarahwawrzyniak]

So helpful! Thank you Bethany! It’s so daunting getting ready to publish a book for the first time so every reminder helps :)

[Avionne_Parris]

Gosh, you're so organised, Bethany! I guess that's why you're so successful and it shows. I will definitely be revisiting this video and taking notes when I'm ready to publish. Also, yes to a how-to for the Apple and Kobo video, please :-)

[debbiesaarloos]

Thank you! Yes, Apple and Kobo and any other platforms wold be great. You Rock!

[WanjiruWaithaka]

Love love love this Bethany. My third novel is coming out 3rd Dec. It's my first attempt at self publishing. This is so helpful thank you!

[WriteCold]

God bless you! This is exactly what has been on my mind.

[pjalexander_author]

So great! Thanks Bethany for all that you do for the indie community 😊

[tiaravazquez]

Just signed up to your pattern! First time I’ve ever signed up for Simone’s posting but you offer such a wealth of amazing resources. How could I not! ❤

[mamancooper]

This was sooo good 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU!

[ibelieveinpink]

I love this Bethany! So helpful. All the details look so overwhelming but it gave me a realistic look into what Im getting into.

[MariJadeWrites]

Oh hi again, i watched the video till the end and have a question, so i can set up a Goodreads book page for my books even though they're not out yet? I am in the process of editing it at the moment, my editor will send me the last chapters of edits any day now ☺️

[ladyangelaIII]

Bethany could you please, please, please make a video in how to format a 6 x 9 inches book by using Google Docs without using the adds-on (as it does not allow download a PDF format with it).

I am very sure it is useful to most writers out there. PLEASEEE 🙂

Thank you very much for sharing such vital tips!

[jonathansuarez]

Wow I cant believe on you so much for all of that helpful information and tell your dogs penny I says hi and yours husband and your beautiful son and your marriages happy after!!!

[ProfessorBurlingame]

Excellent, practical advice that is timely for me since I'm smack dab in the middle of this process. Thank you!

[MariJadeWrites]

This is a very helpful video ☺️👍 I'll be publishing my first fiction book early next year 🥰 so exciting. I will publish on Amazon KDP and maybe try D2D too. But I'd love a video you mentioned as well 😉

[jamesgrimm]

Thank you Bethany. I really enjoy your videos and keep them on a playlist to review regularly as I go through the process. I want to ask why you do not have your ebook copies in your website's store? I was actually thinking of including the price being advertised across platforms on my website, but I also offered a severely discounted ebook for physical book purchasers to give them some flexibility if they wish. Just wondering why you have not added to your store? I actually see a few others not adding, too, so wondering if there is a good reason I should not do it. Thank you!
