Launching Book 2: Moving to a Self-Owned Platform
When Amazon terminated my Kindle KDP account not too long ago I lost my multiple paperbacks and ebooks along with my distribution strategy. So I’ve been shifting toward using more of my own independent platforms. The new for my comics I built is at homemadecartoons.com.
While the first yearly collection is already available for download, compiling these volumes by hand for this is quite a pain. So I’m talking about that on the vlog this time, launching Book 2 as a downloadable ebook directly on the site.
The Strategy: The Product Launch Method
Borrowing tactics directly from a recent successful music release I did, the launch strategy for Book 2 will use the same artistic path plan I used:
- Documenting the Creative Process: The behind-the-scenes planning of the ebook will be shared publicly on the website to try and build audience curiosity.
- Reliving the Narrative: Because Book 2 archives life events from 2018, the promotion of it will also revisit some diary moments from then.
- Leapfrogging Launches: I want to try making a continuous cycle of music and book campaigns like this to keep creative momentum in my projects.
