Timeline – What to do in what order
The order you do things is important. For example:
- Amazon has a program called KDP Select you can use to raise your profile and launch your book effectively. However, they require that you initially publish your book only on Kindle (you can publish on other sites 30 days later). If you choose to use KDP Select it should be your first stop on the publishing timeline.
- You are relying on communities of both readers and writers to help spread the word. That means you should at least spend some time learning how these communities work. Otherwise, you’ll hurt yourself by coming off as clueless and purely self-promoting.
