As we near the end of this mammoth self publishing blog series, here are a handful of useful pointers to summarise what we've been covering over the last few months:
- The online publishing world is changing daily
- There is no secret (and easy) formula to success
- In my humble opinion, Amazon is the best place to start your self publishing journey despite its quirks
- Write a fabulous first book
- Then write many, many more great books
- With self publishing, your writing really can be tailored more to what you actually want to write, rather than writing for markets and trends
- You will never just be able to write - the time and effort you used to spend sending out zillions of query letters and first chapters to agents and publishers has been replaced by marketing and promotional activity
- In my humble opinion, Twitter is the best place to start building your fanbase
- Take the time to engage and connect with your audience
