Please *DO* post QUESTIONS into the CHAT window to EVERYONE. Capitalize the word QUESTION. That will help the host not miss any questions and prioritize them for the instructor. Example: QUESTION -- Why is the sky blue? Please *DO NOT* post direct PRIVATE questions to the host. That messes up the chat screen. 00:12:31 Janet Morris Grimes: https://kychristianwriters.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Beller_Market-a-New-Release.pdf 00:12:41 Janet Morris Grimes: Here's the handout if you don't already have it 00:16:56 Katherine Swarts: I’ve got four short e-books “manuscripted” (a three-book set of Sunday-afternoon devotionals using my rhyming poetry as main selections, and a more general self-help book on positive attitude, 00:17:15 Tracy Crump: Congratulations! 00:17:19 Deena Adams: Congratulations on the new blessing! 00:17:57 Stacy Simmons: Congratulations on your upcoming little one's arrival! 00:18:44 Katherine Swarts: … https://positivecontentfactory.com/100waysintro/).

Even following what my provider (SendinBlue) said, it's still in promo. 00:31:27 Tracy Crump: I asked him to send more categories, but he said he couldn't. 00:32:38 leslie: QUESTION: So less links and images is helpful to keep out of promo? 00:33:45 leslie: I do giveaways with my newsletters, so that may be why, as well as links to things on my site. 00:33:56 Deena Adams: Youst SEO helps says to add links, so we shouldn’t? Any idea how many images or links or ideal to keep the email out of promotions? 00:34:34 Deena Adams: That should say “are” ideal, not “or" 00:36:32 Tracy Crump: Did we finish the Pro Tips? 00:37:35 Janet Morris Grimes: https://mistymbeller.com/ 00:41:34 Lynn Watson: Is there a way to find out how many followers you have on your Amazon author page? 00:48:15 Jill Chapman: I had to step away...sorry. Have you said how many people are on your launch team? 00:48:28 Janet Morris Grimes: I was just about to ask that. Lol. 00:48:50 Heather: When is the best time to request endorsements that would be printed on the book? 00:50:08 Katherine Swarts: QUESTION: What if you’ve done—or at least THINK you did—all of the above and just about everything else that worked for others, and you can STILL count the number of books you’ve sold without using up all your fingers? 00:50:23 Jill Chapman: My first book...I have 13!

I started too early on my team when I thought the book would release in December, but I kept adding members along the way. God provided every one! 00:55:27 Jill Chapman: I'm such a newbie, so people can post reviews BEFORE the release? 00:55:45 Jill Chapman: Did I misunderstand what was said? 00:56:11 PeggThomas: Jill, they can on Goodreads and BookBub, but not on Amazon. 00:56:24 Tracy Crump: Amazon wouldn't allow reviews before the release day for my book. Some of the other sites may have. 00:56:47 leslie: Tracy, Goodreads allows early reviews. 00:56:55 Jill Chapman: okay thanks! 00:57:01 Jill Chapman: I have a launch team on fb 00:57:56 leslie: And with Amazon, reviews have to be approved, so they may not show up automatically the day you share it, and you can't share until the book is released. People also have to have spent $50 on Amazon in order to leave reviews (and you can still leave reviews on books you haven't purchased from Amazon0> 00:58:04 leslie: ...sorry: Amazon. 01:00:09 debraallard: Yes, I’d like slide pics of your talk!
