    @myclipboardismyviolin Here’s my really quick answer.

    Step one. Build a large email list. Why? Because it will help you sell 1,000+ books with the click of a button. It will also give you the opportunity to…

    Step #2: cross-promote(!!!) with other people who have similar audiences. Which in turn will lead to more sales which will allow you to…

    Step #3: ride organic algorithms on Amazon and elsewhere, topping off your sales without any effort from you.

    I could list more, but the last thing you need is shiny object syndrome. 🙂

    If you want to do some reading by authors who are experts in this niche, I would probably recommend Tim Grahl and David Gaughran. Your first 10,000 readers, the book launch blueprint, let’s get digital (haven’t actually read that one, but I think it will be helpful for you), and Amazon decoded (check David’s website for that one).

    To be honest, it will probably take a couple years to get the hang of everything, but that’s on average. You may do better, especially if you can find some good mentors and support groups.
