Congratulations on book release day, Bethany! I wanted to say how much I admire you! You are transparent, positive, genuine, and just amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey and for inspiring me to FINALLY make a RU-vid channel and instagram for my aspiring author journey. I’m actually nervous if I’m being honest because I have always dreamed about writing/publishing a book and making a RU-vid channel. I am hoping this will keep me accountable haha. I’m an early elementary teacher turned stay at home mom to my 6 month old son and I’m navigating balancing all the things. I love that you’re a mom and that you’re doing what makes you happy!!! Reading and writing have been my outlet as well for my mental health and anxiety! I say all this to share that along with that, your RU-vid channel has been a source of inspiration and learning for me. I am so so so excited to support your channel, journey, and book! You are doing amazing and just keep doing your thing! Sending you all the love!! :) PS sorry for the novel length comment brain dump hahaha I guess it’s fitting

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Yayyy thank you so much Jemy, I appreciate that a lot! And you've got this! Hope you have an awesome experience! :D

@isabellajuanitalyn 2 часа назад

Congrats Bethany! This is always so insightful and helps so much! Wishing you all the best for future successes!

@adventureswithtime День назад

Do you submit your books for any awards? I know there are companies that help with this?

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Honestly I only did once when a friend suggested one to me, otherwise I know nothing about it. But I wouldn’t work with a company, that’d be like throwing money away when they’re all easy to google and research on your own. :)

@JoLovesToRead День назад

Congratulations on release day! Congratulations on making a profit! 🥳 I'd love to see a video about how well a book does long term, maybe after a year and compare to how much profit it made. I love how you talk about what you would do as a first time author vs what you can do now with lots of experience 😍

@AuthorJenniferKrigbaum День назад

I’m late but I’m here! (Mom life of course😂) Happy Release Day Bethany!! 🎉🎉🎉 Wow…it’s always so crazy to see how many books you’ve published so far. I’m honestly in awe when I see all of them on screen at the same time. I’m sure this goes without saying but you should be so incredibly proud of yourself. And some of these have been published after you became a mom and now you’re pregnant with a toddler! That’s actually kind of insane haha And thank you for making such a transparent and informative video! I’ll definitely be referring back to it for whenever I start the publishing process for my own book ☺️

@ScottAHatfieldJr День назад

I’m definitely spending much more on my first self published release… 😂😂 I’m close to $5,000 for editor, cover art, marketing, etc. Happy for you and your release! I can’t wait to get my copy soon!

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Yayyy thank you so much, I hope you enjoy reading it!! And first releases can be expensive!

@woodlandlady7011 День назад

You did a fab job Bethany! Congratulations! !

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Yayyy thank you so much!! 🥰🎉🎉

@sallyalter6003 День назад

Congratulations. You did a marvelous job. Wish I could sell that many books.

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Thank you so much!!

@MrRosebeing День назад

You can. All you have to do is to write a book, then pay a lot of people to design, print and publish your book. It's easy in our days.

@donnegalgordon День назад

Congrats on the release day! I'm so excited to get my book in the mail! It's crazy to think that you're on book 15 or 16 -- I'm not sure if you were counting this one when you mentioned the number. That's amazing! :) And I'm very glad that you made your money back and then some! Also, I watched your kickstarter video too--hoping to participate in the Kickstarter for the "Butter Book" and it is now on my list of author goals to do a kickstarter campaign myself. I think a video of tips and tricks/advice for kickstarter would be super helpful! Also, would you recommend doing kickstarter if an author hasn't built too much of a presence yet?

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Yay thank you so much! I think maybe 16 but I'm not sure haha... So glad you enjoyed both videos - and I can't wait for the butter book kickstarter, I hope it'll happen soon!! Kickstarters are super fun, but they definitely require a lot of marketing from other social media/newsletter/that kind of stuff, so definitely keep building an audience leading up to doing one, it will help a lot!

@sirenxoxo3 День назад

These videos and your vlogs are my favorite ❤. I'm curious about the ISBNS comment though. I thought it was best to have your own if you plan on publishing across platforms, no?

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

I’m so happy to hear that!! Great question… I’m still experimenting, but the main reason I think someone might avoid multiple ISBNs would be to avoid confusion with duplicates right? However, every format (ebook, hardcover, paperback) needs a separate ISBN anyway. For me, my ebooks only have one ISBN because (1) Amazon doesn’t require ISBNs anymore, they have the ASIN, and (2) I use Draft2Digital and their free ISBN for all other ebooks. And then for my hardcovers, they’re currently only printed through Ingramspark, so that’s just one ISBN there also. Which means in my case, I have the same number of ISBNs I would’ve if I had purchased, and in theory they shouldn’t cause any confusion or duplicates… It’s super complicated I know, but I hope that makes sense!

@sirenxoxo3 День назад

@@BethanyAtazadeh haha yes very complicated, but thank you for taking the time to explain that to me and provide clarity 🙂. This helped a lot. Really appreciate it!

@gamexpress111 День назад

that's a...lot. Im thinking of giving a book tour for another go. But, I'm so glad I'm designing my own book covers, haha. Also, is there a way to send you things? Like with PO Box or something? To send you books :)

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

It's not bad when it's all money I made back haha... And sorry, I don't accept anything in the mail currently but thanks for checking!

@aisazia День назад

Thanks for your transparency and for sharing all the fun details! I also enjoy these types of videos! So glad that everything went well for the most part! I appreciate you sharing your stories!

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

Absolutely, so glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!

@Imccfrccpfs День назад

I have a question about chapter header images and ebooks , how do you put your chapter header image into your ebook? I tried with kindle create, and it went all wonky, should I hire an ebook formatter?

@BethanyAtazadeh День назад

I use microsoft word + draft2digital for ebooks. If you want, you can check out my formatting video here for more info! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5nhepPdkpkE.html

@Imccfrccpfs День назад

Thank you 🙏 I will try that.
