I may have spent ten minutes trying to come up with the perfect headline for this blog post. How to grab your attention within a minute and make sure you either click on the link or read this post in your email…
Oh, and I think I’m supposed to exude absolute confidence – DOH.
Keeping it short:
- I have a kickstarter project for #TheLeftoverBride audiobook.
- You can already save the project TODAY.
- Why “TODAY” in all caps? Well, because by saving it today, you’ll be the first to know when it launches and can grab some of the very limited reward items. Plus, if you click on “notify me” before Monday, June 27th, send me an email and I’ll send you an exclusive short preview of #SweetsForLove (authorelodienowodazkij AT gmail DOT com)…And last but not least, seeing that number climbs does give me endorphins.
- How can you save the project?: You need to create a kickstarter account and click “Notify Me On Launch” – that’s it.

Numbers Episode – 87 Books Sold, Less Than $100 in Royalties (and I'm Not Panicking) – The Raccoon Author's Self-Publishing Diary
87 books sold. Less than $100 in royalties. And… I’m actually not panicking about it? 🦝In today’s Raccoon Author's Self-Publishing Diary, I’m getting into the numbers behind My Christmas Wish List, my Christmas rom-com that came out at the end of July — including its veryyyyy long road to publication, the pre-order I canceled, why I eventually put it back up at $0.99, and what that meant for my royalties.Because selling MORE books does not necessarily mean making more money. I’m also looking at the bigger picture: how the other books in my Love in Swans Cove series have performed during the holiday season, why I’m keeping My Christmas Wish List at $4.99 now, why I’m not t running ads right now, and why I don't think a book's first month tells us its entire story.Especially when it’s a Christmas book. In September.I also talk about something I took away from an SPA Girls interview with Elana Johnson about working on a primary AND secondary writing project at the same time — which may or may not have given my raccoon brain permission to think more seriously about the next Love in Swans Cove book. And yes: I’m coming back after the holiday season with updated numbers so we can see what actually happened.Coming soon, too: the 80/20 rule. Does 20% of my catalog really generate 80% of my publishing income? I have started crunching the numbers…🦝 JOIN ME ON PATREON / ELODIE’S WRITING NOOKhttps://www.patreon.com/c/elodieswritingnook🎄 MY CHRISTMAS WISH LISThttps://books2read.com/MyChristmasWish📊 PUBLISHER CHAMPhttps://www.publisherchamp.com/🎧 SPA GIRLS — Inside a Prolific Author’s Daily Routine ft.
