If you're selfpublishing or interested in self-publishing, but you want to enjoy it, get off the hamster wheel of fast production or piling money into ads, this is the place to be.
I've been self-publishing since 2011 and have made a stable income at it while jumping on new platforms I liked, but staying off the ones I considered a time suck.
I'll be talking about things like: do you really need to spend so much time on social media? How can you set up passive advertising? How do you diagnose what you need to improve?
I sell fiction, nothing else. This podcast is for fun.
