I forgot to circle back on the plug-in, Kathy. It’s definitely Jetpack. My assistant set it up.

Quick update noted above in the post: I saw that Udemy has a $10 course sale through Friday, March 31, so I contacted them for the coupon code and to get a direct course link. I’ve added all of that above in the post.

Thanks, Shonah! I’d love to learn more about your Amazon ads and will send you a private message.

(And yeah, anyone who has promoted fiction will say it’s harder. That’s why so many publicists won’t do it — it’s too challenging.)

I’m glad it was helpful, Gary, and thanks for sharing with your network. I appreciate it. I hope we can help more authors that way.

Thanks. I would buy something like that if it was NF only. I wouldn’t pay for something that included fiction. I don’t really agree with you about marketing being easier actually for NF. While it is true it is easier to show someone they have a need for something especially if it is prescriptive, when you write certain kinds of NF for things that are one-offs (like pregnancy or divorce – events that happen once and people move on) it isn’t worth the time (as much) to develop an email list and try to get “fans.” Those are tactics that everyone talks about for fiction that do not apply to all kinds of NF. They do work for some (such as cookbooks). Anyway, my experience is that NF is so different from fiction and I don’t find there to be as many resources. I do think that there are probably more people out there trying to sell their novel who are looking for resources for how to sell books which is why this is true (at least from my perspective).
