Bookbub does a teaser initial offer.

I haven't found any teaser pricing and I'm almost an S.M.E. regarding Bookbub. The BB Featured Deals was $613 for broad US and international exposure. Rather worth it, though, since in only 3 hours I've made 315 sales... about 6 times the amount of sales I made in two-and-a-half months.

Hey Laz,

Congratulations on your book being accepted. It is a good read. You might want to look into making it an audible if the sales warrant the expense, although that publisher I told you about has a deal if you can stand an AI reading it. Much Luck!

Getting a book published and marketed is tough. Heck writing a book itself is a slog. But those nest steps: published and marketed? That’s REALLY hard. Know this. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt — and frankly the road rash.

Laz knows what he is talking about here. Anyone interested in becoming a real published author: LISTEN Learn from those who have been there!

Did you pay for cover art? There is talk of free AI cover art either now or soon.

None of my work is AI generated. I pride myself on that.

For cover art, I use out-of-copyright antique postcards and old poetry editions and then spruce them up in Photoshop. I try to keep a feel consistent between covers, though not identical layouts. Keeps costs low and makes them mine.
