- Hello everyone, my name is Mandi Lynn,

I'm the author of the fancy novels

Essence and I am Mercy, and thriller novel She's Not Here,

and it is six days until She's Not Here is published.

In honor of the publication day of She's Not Here,

I am posting every day on YouTube

until this book is published.

So as the countdown begins,

today I am talking about all the different things

you need to plan when you're self-publishing a novel.

(melodic piano music)

So there are so many different things you need to plan

when you're self-publishing a book

because it is all down to you.

If you won't do stuff, then the ultimate success

or non-success of your book comes down to you.

So today I'm gonna be walking you through

all the different things that I planned

and kinda-sorta how I went about planning them.

So the first thing you need to do, is,

plan to release the title.

So this is something may or may not need to plan for;

if you've been talking about your book for a long time

and people already know the title,

obviously you don't need to do a fancy release for it.

However, if you've been talking about your book

but you've never given it an official title,

then you will need to do, like, some sort of

fancy way of announcing it.

This can be, like, a blog post, a post on social media,

or if you have a YouTube channel,

it could be a special video on your YouTube channel.

Once you've officially decided that

you're gonna be self-publishing a book,

you need to choose a release date,

and then plan everything backwards from there.

Or, if you would like, you can plan everything

and then, depending on how long you think it'll take

to do all those things, then you choose a release date.

But either way, it's very important

to choose an actual release date

to give people something to look forward to,

because as soon as you announce

that you're self-publishing a book,

people are gonna ask, when can I buy it.

And that's a great thing, but if you don't have an answer,

then you might lose a sale, you never know.

So with that said, what are the different things

that you need to plan for?

So the first thing you need to figure out, is,

who's gonna design the cover of your book

and who's going to professionally edit your book.

So I'm gonna talk about book editing

because that is the longest part in this whole process;

you need a professional book editor,

and I actually have a video that I'll link down below

as well as up in the cards

about finding someone to edit your book on a budget,

we talk about all these great resources

that you can look into,

but basically, you wanna give yourself a few months of time

to actually go ahead and do all this editing.

So you need to think, how long is your editor gonna have

the book, how long are you gonna have the book,

and how many rounds of edits are you doing.

Do you need developmental edits, do you need line edits,

and naturally, you will most definitely need proof edits.

And again, that takes a few months, so keep that in mind

when you are choosing your release day.

Next thing you need to plan for is your cover designer.

So there are many many different cover designers

that you can choose from,

I will actually have a video releasing very soon about

how I worked with the cover designer for She's Not Here;

if you don't have the budget for a cover designer,

or if you are good with Photoshop

and you wanna design a cover yourself,

I do have a video as well that will be up in the cards

and down below, on how you can do your own DIY book covers.

I've worked with Damonza Art Design this cover,

she did an amazing job but it did take

almost maybe two months, but that's just because

I was very picky and I kinda had her change

a lot of really subtle details.

Once you have the cover, you also want

to plan to release the cover, like do a really big she-bang.

So I like to do an actual little mini social media campaign

when it comes to releasing my covers,

I like to gather as many people who will like to help out,

and the way I do that, is that I create a Google form

where people just give me their name and their email

and they tell me that on the release day of the cover,

that they will post it on social media,

so I collect all those emails,

and then a few days before

the actual release of the cover,

I email everyone the cover and tell them when they can

officially share on social media,

and when that day comes around,

not only am I posting about it,

but dozens of other people are posting about it

and getting really excited.

The next thing you wanna keep in mind

for your release day, is, formatting the book.

So you have to decide if you're gonna format it yourself

or if you're gonna hire someone else to to format it.

So it can be very tricky to format a book;

I'll have a video very soon on

how to format a paperback or hard cover,

but I also right now have a video on how to format an ebook,

so if you'd like to watch that,

it'll be up in the cards, or down below.

Give yourself at least a month's time

if you are formatting the book yourself,

and I think, if you're working with a graphic designer,

it's at least a month, as well,

but some graphic designers you need to, like,

reserve your spot with them,

just because that's how many clients they have.

So sometimes you need to reserve with them

a few months in advance.

The next thing you're gonna wanna decide, is,

if you're gonna do a pre-order.

So when my first books Essence and I am Mercy came out,

there actually wasn't an option

to do pre-order for self-published books.

But now there is the option to set your book up

to be able to pre-order the ebook as well as the paperback.

The ebook is super simple;

you can set up the pre-order through Kindle,

but the paperbacks are a little more complicated

because when people pre-order the paperback,

you actually have to approve their email

and that they ordered it and stuff like that,

so it's a little more tedious,

but either way, you should decide

whether or not you would like to do a pre-order.

Some of the different decision-making processes, is,

what your goal is with this book,

is your goal to make as many sales as possible,

or is your goal to kind of hit the Amazon bestseller list.

If your goal is to make as many sales as possible,

I would definitely recommend doing a pre-order,

but if your goal is to end up on the Amazon bestseller list,

I would think more clearly about it.

So when someone pre-orders your book,

that tally does not count towards the tally

for the Amazon bestseller;

the tally counts for the day that they buy it,

so if people buy it during the pre-order period,

you can actually become an Amazon bestselling author

just based off of your pre-order,

but again, it's just something to think about and consider.

Another thing you wanna consider, is,

if you're gonna do a pre-order campaign.

So a pre-order campaign is

when someone pre-orders their book,

and you kinda give them like a

little ha-ha happy incentive for doing it.

So what I do is that for

my online course AuthorTube Academy,

anyone who pre-ordered the ebook is gonna receive

an exclusive coupon for AuthorTube Academy

that actually gives you AuthorTube Academy for 50% off.

So with that said, if you have not

pre-ordered She's Not Here

or you still would like to pre-order She's Not Here,

that will be linked down below,

and then you fill out the other link that's down there

to give me proof that you pre-ordered it,

and I will email you that coupon.

You can also do a release week campaign,

which is basically the same thing,

but instead of doing the pre-order period,

it's during the first week or so of the book being released,

this is actually something I'm doing for She's Not Here,

and it may or may not include signed book plates

for whoever orders the book.

But I will be telling you more about that

when that actually becomes available.

The next thing that we're gonna be talking about is

a big topic and I might actually end up doing a

more in-depth video about it but that is on marketing.

So there is many many things you can do

to market your book when it comes to release

and I'm just gonna name a lot

'cause I've got 'em listed on my phone; it'll be easier.

So when it comes to marketing your book,

you may want to decide if you want a street-team,

which is a whole bunch of people

that will promote your book,

you're gonna wanna figure out

how you're gonna get advanced reviews of the book,

this means it's sending out advanced reader copies

to social influencers or different things like that,

you wanna decide if you're gonna be doing

different ads on your book, so ads on Facebook,

ads on Amazon, or Goodreads giveaway,

you're gonna wanna decide if you're gonna do a book trailer

to help promote the book,

which, by the way, there is a book trailer

for She's Not Here, so links below.

You're gonna wanna decide

if you're gonna wanna do giveaways,

I'm actually doing a few fun giveaways,

so be sure to follow me on social media,

because I actually teamed up with a few people

who make book-ish items, including a book sleeve

that's exclusive to She's Not Here,

and a candle and bookmark as well,

so if you would like to win that

as well as a copy of She's Not Here,

be sure to check it out.

You wanna decide if you wanna do some sort of YouTube tag

where it kinda helps promote your book,

and I will be having a YouTube tag

that's also gonna be an Instagram tag,

and with that said, you're gonna wanna decide

if you're wanna do an Instagram tag.

And now, of course, you wanna have your author newsletter.

So you should be building your author newsletter

way before the book comes out,

your author newsletter is just a supply of people

that follow you and are dedicated to you.

So newsletters are essential

because social media algorithms may change,

which makes it harder for your post and things

to pop up in front of people's faces, but newsletters

your information goes directly to someone's inbox.

It's a lot harder for someone to miss it

if it's in their inbox rather than their social media feed

where they follow oh-so-many people with oh-so-many posts.

The next thing you wanna plan for is the release day itself.

What are you gonna do on release day to celebrate your book?

Are you gonna be doing a livestream,

and if you are doing a livestream on either

YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook,

are you gonna be doing it with someone else,

are you gonna be doing giveaways,

and different things like that.

You just wanna think what can I do

to get the most excitement on release day.

With that said, I will be doing a livestream here on YouTube

for the release day of my book, which is October 2nd,

and I will be having a few special guests,

as well as some fun giveaways.

So be sure to stay tuned for that.

And the last thing you wanna plan for, is,

what's gonna happen after the release?

So release day is really exciting,

it's really easy to get people super excited

to read the book; however, after release day,

it's hard to keep that traction going.

So you're gonna have to brainstorm

on how am I gonna get people

to continue talking about the book.

How am I gonna get people to review the book online

so more people buy the book.

And there's endless opportunities to just do that

and there's just a ton of fun, creative ways

to do that, as well.

So that is the breakdown of all the things that

I like to plan for when I'm releasing a book.

I like to plan it out in a notebook

and I also have a bullet journal that I write everything in,

so it looks pretty because I like to do it that way.

Let me know if there's anything that you plan for

when you're self-publishing

that I may have not mentioned here.

Self Sabotaging During Infertility | Why am I mad? - Duration: 11:18.

right to therapy and we had an interesting session and basically I

wanted to talk to her about I have been overspending and I've been overspending

probably since March

hi thanks for clicking on simply Tanika I am Tanika if you are new here welcome

hit that subscribe button let's hang out a while if you are returning welcome

back let's get those babies ladies good

morning fertility fam today is Thursday September 20th how are you as you can

see I'm suited and booted and about to hit the pavement feeling pretty good I

did go out and work out one last time after I talked to you guys last night I

got in about 30 minutes and then I got all my food and then my time so the

fasting is going great I took some water with two tablespoons of apple cider

vinegar before I came out and yeah I'm gonna hit it I'm also I was reading last

night and when you're doing intermittent fasting and during weight loss in

general your body is in detox mode because the fact that it's breaking down

has a lot of toxins in it and as it breaks down it releases it into your

bloodstream so to support that when I get back I'm gonna take to charcoal

pills before I head up because I adjusted my time yesterday so I think I

think I ate until 9:30 because I didn't have my first meal until 1:00 I was

gonna let myself do no that's not right 8:30 I was meant to be done I may not be

saying that right anyway there's supposed to be 12 to 8 so I think I

pushed it one to nine um I'm not gonna do that again like if I don't get my

food and I just don't get my food and I can't extend the time I have to do my

best to get those calories and and it's hard like I thought I was gonna be

starving but I felt totally full I did get my shake in which has a lot of

nutrients in it which I felt good about so it's a process is what I'm saying in

a long run I'm seeing the results in the mirror I'm

excited to do my photo day on Saturday to do my 360 and compare it to where I

started pray for me all right ladies I will talk

to you later I got to pick up the pace Hey ladies

all right I'm learning all kinds of late but look I got into this I didn't have

to squeeze in well kinda but I haven't worn it in proper official picture day

is Saturday where we do the before-and-after but way snatched okay

okay and how long is the procedure like what time would they need to pick me up

oh okay so I need to be there at 9:30 and they can pick me up by 11:00 okay

all right thank you okay bye-bye all right they called it's 405 they're

meant to call at 4:00 but anyway I'm fasting so that works out

and I just need to let blue know yay hey Pam how are you all right I have made it

home I have a procedure in the morning so I'm going to head out to Blues house

tonight I have to be there at 9:30 as you heard he's going to go with me the

whole time I told him he only had to come

eleven eleven thirty but he said he would go with me so that's cool

and of course team too much has scheduled a meet-up with well-known

media but I'm meeting a friend of mine to walk the George Washington Bridge she

saw the photos last Sunday and she was like I'll go with you

so I'm doing it tomorrow to kind of keep myself distracted before the procedure

so we're gonna meet up at 6:00 a.m. the only thing is I can't have water after

midnight either the fast thing I'm not worried about because I don't eat after

a certain time anyway the water is gonna be a little tricky and then you have to

give a urine sample well you guys heard the video she once said your pregnancy

does so anyway I am all geared up for that - wish me luck keep me in your

prayers I did want to say I didn't record it earlier but I went to therapy

and we had an interesting session and basically I wanted to talk to her about

I have been overspending and I've been overspending probably since March and so

just some I don't know there was like need to control there was some shame

associated with it there's a lot of things almost like I'm punishing myself

one thing about me I don't like to be in debt and now I've created a situation

where I am in debt and so it was just way heavy on me but the take away from

the therapy session was to you know remember to be good to myself and to

keep focusing on that and I have been like I've been doing the meditation I've

read some of them to you guys I've been doing visualization I've obviously been

working out and eating really well which also saves money cuz I'm cooking on my

own food but I know exactly what I'm putting in my body so I can't think of a

better way to take care of myself so it's like win-win has been saying

comfort America so I feel good about that but I did I did want to say like be

mindful if you're doing it anything in excess while you're TTC because I think

the emotions express themselves in other ways even if we're not saying what they

are and I think the overspending was like my

oceans expressing themselves you know before it was excessive drinking now

it's excessive spending and I think a little bit of me felt resentment because

I'm spending so much on TTC that it was like wool for the baby that's not even

here yet that I would like to spend a little of my money on me because I'm the

one who goes to work every day and I didn't buy anything like super

extravagant like I redid the house earlier and I added like the Google home

so throughout the house I can walk through and talk and turn on my TV or my

lights or whatever house which I really like but I didn't need it so those kind

of things like I was buying things to make myself feel good and it wasn't

necessarily the most healthy way to approach it so I would just suggest that

if you're doing things that are kind of out of the norm or in excess or to make

yourselves feel good take a look at it take a look at it because in the end it

doesn't you know what I did didn't help me feel better like at the moment it did

the impulse of it getting the stuff I'm packing it like redoing the house that

all felt great but now I'm paying the price of it and I have to figure out you

know how to cover it all and so that is just a little bit like that

yeah and ultimately I'm taking money away from the baby right it was just

like a little cruel trick that my mind was playing on me so I don't know do you

guys do that have you noticed that like you overspend or are you over eat I was

definitely over eating I was mad because I was like why should I lose weight I'm

gonna be part I'm gonna get a lot away I was bigger

than this when I got pregnant with Cheyenne like this isn't fair when I

went so I was only hurting myself like who you mad at girl we met I was the one

suffering what is that that Carrie Fisher said resentment is like

swallowing the poison and expecting the other person to die and I was building

up resentment against myself so why how else to express that that some sort of

some form of self harm which really is its like self sabotage which is crazy so

I did talk about that in therapy today I wanted to share that with you guys maybe

some of you guys have gone through it or going through it if you've gone through

it tell me how what you did to like recognize it and kind of like get it in

truck like I have a plan now so I'm good and helping like writing up the goals

was one of those things but I think I wasn't even being fully honest with

myself like I put on savings but I should have also put on stop spending

which I have done but that's a much more specific goal right when you're doing

SMART goals one is to stop spending and then two is to save and so because if

you are spending like crazy you really can't say if it's just like if you have

a bunch of credit card debt and your interest rate is ridiculous and then you

have $500 in the bank and savings that's gaining like 1.8 percent interest it's

not really a true savings because you have this debt on the other side and

that's what I did to myself myself out of that and I think I'm gonna

do like a consolidation I'm looking at either a consolidation debt

consolidation loan or some 0% interest credit card so I'm kind of moving it

around but ultimately there will be savings because the interest rate will

be lower then looking at the debt that I have been paying it off at the rate that

I've committed to pay it off it would be more so I'm looking to kind of look for

some saving opportunities there and then it doesn't help with TTC like tomorrow I

have the procedure I've got to pay extra $500 to be put to sleep which I'm like I

don't even know why insurance doesn't cover that if I have to be put to sleep

in this procedure that should be covered and maybe it is my insurance like the

clinic wasn't sure and I talked to one of my co-workers and she wasn't sure

either because she just had her procedure so she's not sure if it's been

covered or if she's getting a bill but like some of those things it's not like

a tooth work you could be awake when you get your two through like you're

removing parts of my uterine lining anyway

all right guys let's see this is what I get into with myself like I'm bitching

to who for what like none of that's gonna change deal with the facts come up

with the plan based on the facts and stop having this like BMW moment the

Jane moaning and whining like do with the facts the ego in me wants to have

this story in this drama and I've got to figure out how to squash that so that's

all but if you have had any incident like this please let me know that I am

NOT alone or if you're currently struggling with it um if you don't want

to put it below I know it's private send me an email

Tanika at simply Tanika calm and I'll hit you back and we can share war

stories love to hear how you got to the other

side if you did and if you're in the middle of the struggle we can

commiserate because that's where I am if you're in the beginning girl hit me up I

have some tips for you alright lady I will talk to you later bye baby does to

you

Are You Programmed? Morning Conversations with Jim Self and Roxane Burnett - Duration: 9:23.

Jim I have this really great

story that happened the other day when I

was when I was going to the gym. Okay I'm

excited. Is this you excited. Yeah. We're in trouble. Yeah we've been in trouble for a long time. So

I eat pretty clean I mean I have my

occasional white crusty bread with lots

of butter on it but you know six days of

the week I eat really well. And I've

noticed just I'm sure this happens every

time I go to the gym but the other day

was when I really consciously noticed it.

So I'm going down Franklin and here's

all the box stores and the Pizza Hut's

and the -the good stuff -hamburger stuff just all of this

junk food and I'm driving and I was fine

before I wasn't the least bit hungry

when I left the house. I'm driving

down Franklin and suddenly I want a

hamburger I want pizza oh there's a

smoothie. It was it was so fascinating

that it -that you stopped and ate

everything on the street. That I'm watching

the programming happen. I'm seeing it

with my eyes somehow it's registering in

my brain and it's telling the body yeah

you want pizza. Yeah. It was so

fascinating. Yeah programming. Yeah

programming. And how many I mean I'm

sometimes pretty aware if people out

there on the street who are not aware of

that they get sucked in. Well it's it is

simply what is we've bought into the

whole formatting of advertising and

promotion and and it's it's basically

programming. So there's a mechanical

process to it that you see something

enough and you make a decision I would

like that. But some of these places I've

never even been into. Oh but no we're

talking all the way back to you were six

years old. It's the mechanism oh look I

want that oh look at that shirt I want

that oh red car I want that.

And it's the system that basically says

you should keep up with the Joneses in

the old days and you need to and this is

how you present yourself and if you

don't do it this way you won't be

accepted that way. So all of that becomes

programming whether it's on a sign or

Pizza Hut or whatever it is. Right. And that's a

lot of the stuff that it begins to be

hypnotic. Hypnotic yeah. Is it is it also

well maybe not addictive? Well a very

addictive but you get hypnotized -yeah -into I

want more -programming -you want more you need to

have this this is important to your

well-being. It just is it's not as it's

not it just is it's so fundamental in

this society as how we have been moved

into this aspect of life where we're

playing. And it starts out as you need

this and then you resist it or you

embrace it. But eventually it begins to

be this mantra every time you open your

eyes or drive down the street it's a

mantra. Eat me. You know it's just right

there. And that process begins to be

large across the foundation of you. It's

not just this topic or that topic. And a

lot of times you say I don't eat meat so

you don't you just block out all the

steak houses. But there's a lot of things

that you don't have an opinion about. I

don't resist this or I don't embrace

that. And that just begins to sit there

and repetitively in patterning not the

not this subject matter but the

better to patterning. It's been there all

their life it's just how this this life

has really been structured. And and

there's something we used to say we

haven't been saying this phrase for

years and it really applies here that if

you want to make a change I'm not gonna

get this tell tell me if I get this

right 96% of making any change is simply

being aware of the pickle that you're in.

Becoming aware and then three percent is

being amused at ah look at

what happened I wanted to eat this thing.

Yeah. And then 1% is simply doing

anything different. Just simply changing

it. The change everybody says it's so

hard to change. No. Change isn't the

hard part. It's 1%. Change is simply the

action so it's a matter of beginning to

recognize the programming and the

hypnotic nature of I need this. Or the

addictive nature of it also. And

and just starting to recognize do I

really need this and do I want this and

then there's a then really it is an

amusement with it it's like wow I've

been doing this and it the amusement

allows it to be fluid. And it's not a

beating yourself up. No clearly -or judging.

No it's because here I am

I'm becoming aware of being aware of

something I have been either

subconscious to or unaware of. Yeah. So

we're where we're playing where

everybody's playing here this transition

is about moving through this transition.

So be nice to yourself. There's gonna

there's lots of things where once you

realize I've been doing this some things

you could be absolutely horrified at and

or stop right there. The really big piece

is stay out of the oh I'm so bad. Yes. I

didn't do it right oh I'm so embarrassed.

No. Maybe but here you are what would you

like to do? And it's this exact minute

okay I'm going to choose not to do this

anymore.

Does this really support me? No. Allow

yourself to be conscious of it and then

make a choice in your choice you go get

white crusty bread. No but you beyond

that you're a much higher being now. I'm a much higher being. It's

you're now evolved. One of the

things I've started doing it with this

one trainer suggested this is when I

have that craving I write it down in my

notebook. I keep track of all my

exercises and everything I eat and when

I go to bed and all of that. And so what

I've noticed is that when I write down

juicy hamburger I circle it and then

it's kind of like I just okay I took

but it's now on the shelf -yep -and it

goes away. Yeah. And then I allow myself

allow myself I indulge and enjoy on

Sundays one of those things I craved and

had circled during the week but what's

happening is I get to Sunday and that

doesn't interest me. Yeah. It's almost

like by writing it down circling it it's

like okay you're taking care of. Allowing

it. Allowing it. Oh no judgment. And no resistance. Oh yeah

I want a piece of pizza this Sunday. Yeah and

don't resist it or I'm bad. By Sunday it's ---

Yeah so a lot of times you become aware

of something if you think about it it's

like okay I'm not going to do this

anymore

and almost before you get that word out

of your mouth you just forgot that you

were saying that. And you you walk away

and you go back and you pick it up and

you eat it it's like wait I just said I

was going to stop that. So the mechanism

for engaging is something where the

awareness and the decision doesn't

really get anchored so you're writing it

down and beginning to notice

oh I've written this down four times and

I really don't want it. Yeah. That begins to be

the decision that begins to be the point

of change. It's like you're you get

de-charged from it. That's what it was it was

de-charged. Yeah. The attraction was no longer on

it when I wrote it down. Yeah yeah. It's good. There's some unconscious belief

that this is of value to me so when you

go right back to the fundamentals where

we started this system the society says

you must consume. And here's the best of

the best. Well who said that? You know and

will do -we should do another one of

these and do it on facts you know what

are the facts is that really how does

the facts work? Yeah. What its truth in this

context? But in this case the programming

addictive in itself to the game. So I'm

Campus Voices: LBPD's use of self-deleting app Tiger Text - Duration: 2:44.

I think it's alright, uh… I think it's fine for them to be using it.

It's unethical because they're deleting your private like con-

or, their private conversations over something that could be… um, important.

If it's like

confidential information, it should be deleted so if we're talking like,

like

like a suspect's information yeah, I feel like it should be deleted

because it's like a privacy kind of.

They could use the information to…

and then delete the information. So I don't think that's very uh, ethical.

I mean they're doing their jobs, and I'm sure that

They're you know, they're being secure. They're protecting us

so if they need to talk about like confidential things among their department

and they and it's like important that it doesn't get heard about on the streets by like

criminals or whatever then I feel like that's fine

Um.. well, they're protecting each other from stuff

that they're doing since they're like police officers, you know, they're not trying to get in trouble.

I think it's like

When cops don't get like any um,

repercussions for shooting somebody, you know

they're committing crimes and just texting about it

and then deleting it nobody knows so they're just protecting themselves

I don't think that ethical either.

I feel like- I'm actually okay with it.

Yeah. I'm not against it.

I feel like it's actually alright for it to delete like messages.

Yeah, just so that like it could just be like between two people, you know

Like no one could track their conversation or no one can like steal the information from anyone

I feel like it's actually a good thing.

I feel, I mean it's kind of holding back information and...

Um, that shouldn't be happening

because I feel we need- we all need to be aware of what's going on-

you know like we need to be aware of what's happening around us. So when that happens it's like

you're...

yeah, it's like we're misinformed and stuff and yeah.
