Self-publishing on Amazon? Here's an important tip. Run it on for a month - mentioning it in your social media.

Only then consider the FREE 5 DAY PROMO. Why? Because starting with the promo can lose you money - even if on KU, people will download a freebie and then no income from reads. Go for the cash first. Also, delaying the FREEBIE gives you a second round of promotion through your social media. Good luck.

Bear with me on this (an analogy). When one copied a VHS tape to another VHS tape, and the process was repeated on, all quality, definition etc would be lost. NOW, if writing with AI, and AI searches for ideas in other books - AND those books are increasingly written with AI - will they self-destruct? One can hope. It may already be happening. I am checking out (a new genre for us) and the amount of AI and similarities is depressing. It also means trying to find quality in a field of dross is soul-destroying.
