My Journey With Self-Publishing Through Kindle Direct Publishing Is Like Riding A Bike
To accomplish something, the first thing to do is get started.Getting started is the hardest part.
We don't like to fall, it hurts and stings. It can be embarrassing.
And nobody likes being embarrassed.
But falling is how we learn.
Most of us don't remember learning to ride a bike.
We don't remember the training wheels coming off. We may remember a specific crash or accident, but we don't remember the countless times it surely happened.
We can see that process in action in our lives even today.
We've all see kids trying to learn how to ride a bike and have often see them fall over.
It's painful to watch them, but eventually they learn how to balance without falling over.
In a recent post, we discussed why I took my ebook down from Kindle Direct Publishing ( You can see it here: Why I Deleted My Ebook From Kindle Publishing)
As I wrote, the reason why was because the ebook was getting zero traction on its own and I needed to rethink the process.
I needed to add some more content - so I've been editing a couple other stories.
Obviously there should be a marketing idea in place - so I've been researching what other indie writers have attempted with their platform with Kindle Direct Publishing.
In A Nutshell, My Marketing Plan Is Simple
I plan on creating a number of avenues to funnel traffic to the books.The plan includes using some additional stories as other vehicles to drive traffic to the collection of short stories.
The idea is to take think of the book like a hub with spokes.
On its own, a spoke is weak, it will break easily, and can't support a tire.
With a hundred spokes, each centering to the hub, the tire is supported and can easily support the weight.
So each of these kindle ebooks will be a spoke, centered around a hub.
