Thanks Caroline

This video is perfect timing for me! Thank you ❤

Thank you so much :) you're awesome!!😀

Love your content,.,. Tip is that you lower your mics input level, your audio is distorting (clipping).. may be from your editing as well, check using a limiter.

Thanks - another great video!

I keep hearing people are having success but I don’t know who they are - most authors I know aren’t.

Fine expression in terms of tittak vids traffic leverage at drive progressive revenue model curve that is standing out beyond the inclusive insightful things which gets sounds smart in large scale of Books selling point of Tiktok strategies.

Thank you 💖 I just managed to get to 1000 followers 🎉

For low content books on TikTok, do you think it would be a problem to combine videos across niches and different pennames on one account? I can't see making accounts for each of these, but would be interested in experimenting on this platform. Does TikTok let you change your name if you decide to start kinda broad and then niche down if you see some books are better suited to this? I'm thinking coloring, book journals, other journaling, drawing kinda go together, but not sure about puzzle books or something lol

Do you think TikTok is better for marketing kids activity books than Instagram or KZread shorts? If so, why?

I was wondering if you can add the amazon link of the book on tiktok i couldnt find a way to do it

You can add it in your bio. Copy paste the link but they'll have to copy paste to access it. A different way to do it is linktree

It's possible if you have more than 1000 followers

Have you looked into KZread shorts for this? Wonder if it would work?

can one actually use clips from films?

I like TikTok but you can’t share the link to the book which I think is a huge detour for me.

You can put a link in your bio once you have 1,000 followers.

Wanted to listen to this all the way but the audio is killing me!

I don't have a tiktok channel and never will. But i do have a yt channel.

I’m sorry… you don’t know who Brandon Sanderson is?!?😮

No, I don't read that genre of books.

"some kind of fantasy writer" lol Brandon Sanderson is like the Stephen King of fantasy and one of the most famous and richest authors alive today. He teaches a writing course at BYU, the same writing class that used to be taught by his teacher (who passed last year, David Farland). Farland was the teacher of Stephanie Meyer and a few other huge authors. As interesting as this video was, it's entirely unhelpful for 99% of indies -- could you perhaps find some successful accounts of people that are not rich, famous, NYT bestsellers? I haven't seen evidence that TT can help small indies (maybe romance writers are an exception) but I'm very curious to know if there are some (which is why I watched this whole video, hoping for at least one example). If there are none, then the video is misleading and will just cause people to waste time. I would like to think there are examples of people having success, but showing rich and famous huge bestsellers as examples for small beginning indies isn't fair. Maybe do a follow up with a handful of successful accounts of small unknowns? By-the-way, I found a small indie once with a million views on her top video, it went viral. Then I checked Helium, zero effect on Amazon, so getting a million views doesn't necessarily mean you'll even sell one book.

I don't read fantasy at all so have no idea who's who in that genre - sorry! 😆 The first two accounts I showed are indie publishers that have built their books and series up all on their own and are seeing multiple six figures per year from self-publishing their own books. Join facebook groups called 20booksto50k or tiktokforauthors if you haven't already and you'll see the amount of indie publishers having success with Tiktok. People share their incomes in there as well as their tiktok strategies.

@@MyFreedomEmpire I avoid FB like the plague...haha. I was in the 20to50 group before it was on FB, like in 2016 or so, back in the early days, I know their program. It's not my thing today, but I did some LitRPG back in the day (pre ads, when you could hit a hot genre and make money). The thing is, you're showing romance and huge authors, is there any evidence that small indies can get traction with TT? If so, it would have been cool if you'd showed those (instead of accounts of multimillionaires). If you can't find anyone making money with a TT account that isn't a big 6 or 7 figure author, then it's not really good advice to tell people to build a TT -- for reasons you stated in the video, past viral videos do nothing, so there is no point in having a TT account until you have a big catalog and big sales already, unless it can make you money now, but I don't see that being the case. Seems like the right strategy isn't to build a TT as it would be a waste of time (for now) but rather, build a catalog, make six figures a year, THEN build a TT because then it'll be worth the trouble. If this is wrong (and I'm not saying I'm correct, only that you didn't show any evidence I'm wrong) then people shouldn't bother with it. Right? Or am I missing something?

@@DarkandTwisted There's tons who are not, I think you're guilty of selection bias here. But that's a non-sequitur, my point was that using Brandon Sanderson, one of the most famous, richest, most popular fantasy authors of all history, is hardly a reasonable example for giving to indies.
