🤓 Self-Publishing Off the Amazon Path
Answering your Qs about how my book is doing
Last month, I was thrilled to join Karolina Wudniak of Paperwing Studio in the Indie Book Lab!
We talked about how I approached self-publishing without relying on Amazon — including the platforms I used, the (costly) mistakes I made, and how much money I’ve brought in from my book so far (revenue AND profit).
I also answered lots of attendee questions:
- Why did you decide to avoid Amazon? & How much could you really?
- What size audience would you recommend having before going Amazon-less?
- Is it realistic to make sales without Amazon’s reach? How do you handle discoverability?
- What does fulfillment look like without a big platform?
- What about international sales?
- Is this only viable for nonfiction or niche audiences? What about debut authors?
- How much more work is it, realistically?
- And finally… why is your paperback actually on Amazon anyway?
It was a great conversation, and I’m excited to share the recording — exclusively with paid subscribers in the Clubhouse :)
