It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been publishing, sometimes there are gaps in our knowledge. In this episode, we’re going to look at:
- Why you need a business mindset to succeed as an indie author
- How preorders work on different platforms
- The benefits of defining success
- Why you need a body of work, not one book, to make a living
