2008, 2009 when I first started selling online, but it really has become my major focus with Shopify and Kickstarter, which I'm sure we'll also talk about, in the last year. You have to understand that a lot of readers are really happy to buy on your store on the Shopify app, click through your website, through social media.

I got it selling there, but of course, I had a thousand copies offset run, which was fairly expensive because I didn't know what I was doing. And if you're doing Amazon ads, who benefits from that? So, you run an Amazon ad, you're sending people there. Shopify starts at $5 a month if you only want to sell on social media.

I feel like we definitely do not compete in terms of books and readers, but we do compete on things like ad spend, and pay per click, and all of that kind of thing, but that's quite different. I've been doing this a long time now, since 2008, and I feel like I have got stuck in my processes for an amount of time. I absolutely love it.

And I use social media extensively to find illustrators. So I looked all over social media sites. I did exactly this, back in 2008 or 2007, something like that, I printed a load of books, I had them in my living room, and I thought, Oh, I'm going to just sell them all in five minutes and make loads of money.

I said earlier in the series that I’m assuming ‘great content’ is being added to the hypothetical new blog that we’re promoting. The simplest way to do this is to look at what’s ‘hot’ on social media sites like Digg, Medium, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Techmeme etc.

And I thought more people need to do this because as authors, we juggle a lot of hats, and there's a lot of focus on social media, and rightly so, TikTok is blowing up. But actually, and when I say traditional media, it's not just newspapers and magazines anymore. Do we put it in the post with a copy of our book?

I've been selling direct since 2008 when I started online, but it's always been an afterthought for book sales. This means that the author takes a bigger slice of the revenue upfront, as well as controlling the customer data and the customer relationship , plus we get paid faster than going through other distribution platforms.

You're going to print copies of the book, and you're going to give it out to market your business. I think what doesn't work is haste, being solely promotional, and not adding value to people.

So I think this also speaks to the indie author experience, which is that as you build up a fuller list, once you get beyond the first title, the third title, the fifth title, that's kind of the engine that often runs a stable business , then you just keep adding more books onto that.
