EPISODE 20: Case study – launching a book in a new subgenre

Welcome to the Rage Against the Manuscript podcast. In this episode, we’re doing a case study! I walk you through how I launched a series into a new sub-genre, exactly what I did for the launch, and how much money I earned. If you want to launch books in different sub-genres, I think you’ll find this useful.

 

Listen on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode:

  • Why would you want to write in a new sub-genre.

  • To pen name or not to pen name?

  • How to keep your also-bots pure when your current audience likes different things.

  • My ad strategy for a new release (hint: it isn’t much of one).

  • Two books, $1000 in ad spend – what are the numbers?

  • How I plan to continue this new series.

    "I woke up super-excited about this new story idea. There was only one problem – no vampires."
