New to this group
Hi, I joined last month, but I saw other people posting that they're new so I thought I would too. I have eight books out. I write paranormal romance and fantasy, and most of my books have bisexual characters. I struggle with marketing. I burnt out on TikTok a couple of years ago, and then life happened. I tried posting a bit on Instagram this year but didn't get consistent. Now book nine is finished. I have to do the pre-launch stuff and the launch stuff like picking the title, writing the blurb, setting up the preorder, etc. I want to do this launch differently. I'd actually like to build some interest on social media before the book comes out. I just need to figure out how to talk about an unpublished book without too many spoilers. And then, you know, actually post on a regular basis. I'm really glad to find this group. It's great to meet everyone!

Welcome, Raven! Eight books out is no small thing. For pre-launch posts without spoilers, talk about everything around the plot instead of the plot itself: the trope and the pairing, the vibe (a mood board or a playlist), one line of dialogue from the first three chapters, and behind-the-scenes bits like choosing the title or the cover. Readers want the feeling of the book more than the events. And go small on consistency: three posts a week you can keep beats daily posting you'll burn out on again. Good luck with book nine!

@Raven Stone you’re welcome!
New here
Hi, I'm new. Finally joined. After stalking Lee for months and building the mental energy to figure out what is this Skool thing :) Starting new, but been around for a while. Writing dark MM mafia romance under this pen name. Dangerous men who fall hard and fight dirty for their happily ever after. Currently writing Book 2 of my series, and Book 1 is up for preorder (my 10xtober goal, I'm getting in the mindset, let's gooo) My author business goal is to hit 6 figures by the end of 2027. Bit too ambitious, considering I'm literally at $0 as of now, but what if I make it? How amazing would that be? 😁

Welcome, Jamie! Dark MM mafia is such a fun lane, and readers in it are loyal once they find you. Get book 2's preorder up as soon as you have a date. Readers finishing book 1 are the easiest sale you'll ever make.

@Jamie Embers you’re got this!
Facebook groups
Should I connect my group to my page? Or is it alright to have the groups connected to the profile?

Both work! I lean toward linking it to your Page. Readers who find your Page can see and join the group from there, and you can post in the group as your author Page instead of your personal profile, which keeps your personal account private. Keep your personal profile as a co-admin too, so you never get locked out if something goes sideways with the Page.
Question about IG live
I’m doing an IG live with another author in November but she sent me a Google meet invite. Is that just to hold the time on the calendar? Should I just ask her? Have any of you done an IG live with another author?

Just ask her! It's most likely a quick run-through. Lots of authors like to meet for 10 minutes beforehand to plan questions and test sound. On the day, one of you starts the Live on Instagram and invites the other in as a guest. I'd also do a short practice Live on your own the week before so the buttons aren't a surprise. Have fun!
10x-tober Kickoff!
I goofed and ended the call without stopping the recording...so it's saying it's a 9 hour video. It's not. It's less than 1. 😆 Monday we have a tactics call - I am working on some worksheets to help you 10x!
10x-tober Kickoff!
