Huh, yeah, that is weird Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Well, I went and downloaded AoP again, and cleared the "furthest page read". When I opened it up, it brought me to the cover of RotM, so it seems that you may have marked the sneak preview as the starting point of the book. I can now see that I completey missed the prequel part of the book.

There are a ton of ways you could go with this. In the Wheel of Time, Aes Sedai like to meddle in the affairs of nations and are regarded as a major political power. In other books, magic users are regarded with fear and hunted down. In others, they are tools of the governments.

I guess with KU it's harder to track sell through rate than it used to be. Good luck on the promo! I recently read AoP and am slowly making my way through Rise. I'm working a bunch of overtime right now so not much time for reading. Anyway, I like it so far. I'm curious about your strategy...

The thing to remember about Likes is that they are not worthless, but they are worth less than subscribers, especially given the organic reach of FB posts. However, advertising to your fans is cheaper than advertising to your non-fans (from what I've read), so one reason to advertise for fans...

My biggest pet peeve with PoV is head hopping. I find it very difficult to read a book when a PoV shift happens without a scene break indicator. I've seen books with shifting PoV in the middle of a paragraph, and this is very disorienting to me.

Wow (hahah), did not expect them to make this into a movie.

Caged, I like your opening. It definitely got my interest going. I'm wondering what's up with the weird gem, or the weird raven that sees auras, or that weird man thing with the weird aura, and where is it going? And why is the raven following? On the other hand, I don't like the Locke Lamora...

Yeah, you con track conversions with a pixel, and tell Facebook to optimize the delivery for conversions. And you might be able to target other books similar to your book, or similar authors (if Facebook recognizes them as an Interest). You can also use pixels to make ads that will only be seen...

Cool, I know I've heard that they don't like affiliate marketers, but didn't know if that extended to authors promoting their own stuff. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I think the reason sites don't let you use affiliate links is because they want to use their own. And I'm not sure, but I think mailchimp frowns on affiliate links. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Probably using affiliate links is the best way to track sales with your various links. You can have one account, but in your account you are able to crate multiple affiliate IDs, which you can track separately. Also, if someone clicks on a link and then buy's ANYTHING on Amazon, you get a...

Thanks, I've seen the snowflake method, but the other one is new to me.

Your current series seems to be doing pretty well. Better than you expected. Wouldn't it make more sense to continue that series? Yeah, you might be able to write another series that has more mass appeal, but there's no guarantee of that, even if you do follow all the advice for popular fiction...

Hey everyone. I wanted to get some advice on how to do some brainstorming. I have a basic idea of a story I'd like to write, but I need some help fleshing the idea out a bit more. What are some of the things you do to jog your creative mind and come up with ideas for story elements?
