    When I scroll down on a book to look at the reviews and one of the keywords in the reviews is ‘honest review’, I’m less likely to buy that book.

    I think authors selling direct from websites is a growing trend. I hope it continues to grow. Screw these companies. Somone needs to invent something to help this process and make it more streamline.

    Royal Road is actually good for fiction writers as they can get fans and later on tell them that they published a book of all the chapters written to buy. So I've read. Become famous that way.

    What causes blocking of travel guide books

    • @selfpubwithdale
      @selfpubwithdale  14 дней назад +1

      Ask the company that's blocking you. Normally, travel guide books are totally fine.

      You can hire a pro on Fiverr or generate one in Canva. I use Camtasia for video editing, but am eyeing up DaVinci Resolve since it's less buggy and more reliable.

    Great vid! A question, do you know if that discount on January 25 applies for the Boost Track program? Thanks!

    • @selfpubwithdale
      @selfpubwithdale  14 дней назад

      To my understanding, the 50% off only applies to the monthly dues and not the upgrades. Drop them a line and ask; it doesn't hurt, right?

    You know that I published my novel, but with one of my categories being erotic, I was prohibited from marketing the book on Amazon. Do NOT use EROTIC as one if your categories.😢😂

    • @selfpubwithdale
      @selfpubwithdale  15 дней назад +3

      Well, choose erotica if that's what you wrote. If not, yes, avoid it.

    Are there Canadian Book review groups?

    Hi Dale,
    Could you provide a small answer to a question related pubby?
    Does pubby hold "review requesting function" when you have multiple books (4 - 5 books) in "turned in" status?
    If so how can we make it normal again? (find readers again)
    I am currently experiencing that. (On the dashboard it shows as "looking for 3 readers" for a week now)
    Thank you.

    • @selfpubwithdale
      @selfpubwithdale  12 дней назад +1

      I don't use Pubby so I can't give you a clear answer. I'd recommend contacting their support team.

    My wife left a review for my book and Amazon flagged it

    • @selfpubwithdale
      @selfpubwithdale  15 дней назад +6

      Oh, yeah, I learned that one the hard way over a decade ago. They won't allow for any biased reviews and if someone lives in the same household, they don't want the review.

      What about other friends and acquaintances on your Facebook. But possibly people you haven’t talked to in 10 years, would those get flagged.

    I do wonder ... if a kid born today, in this world of self-publishing opportunity ... why in the heck would that want to publish traditionally? Perhaps, more frighteningly, or excitingly (depending on your stance) why would they want to write a book at all ... when they can create it with AI in one minute (in 5 years time) ....
