Test B - Finally Running!

TEST B


I finally got test B going!
Here are the first results after a "clean" 24hr. period.
The book is in the blog now in prime real-estate.
The Blog gets 200+ uniques per day.
I'm using KDP select to offer the book for FREE for 5 days, yesterday was day 1.
Day 1


20 Free units "sold"/downloaded
200 uniques/20 = 10% conversion - is that safe to say? (don't know, exactly how is conversion calculated for free books?)
I'm very interested to see what happens when the 5 day sale is over, I think I will put it up to 2.99 and then do a 99cent sale afterwards.
Well that's the strategy anyways...LESSONS LEARNED:

A vs B
Comparing method A to method B, in method A you make 1 book permanently free and gather subscribers, in method B you write a blog and push your book in your blog, going for sales only because you want to remain anonymous etc.

A:
After 3 weeks
100+ downloads of book 1 = 17 subscribers
100+ downloads of book 2 = 2 subscribers (!)
No new subscribers for over 1 week
Sounds dismal doesn't it?
Well regardless, I have learned we MUST have CONTROL (remember?) and after 3 weeks Amazon has blocked one book (not in the test now , but the reason I had to delay the test) , and GOOGLE has announced once again that they will be BLOCKING ADULT CONTENT BLOGS!!!
All of these "jerk-moves" by the various platforms don't bother you in the least bit if you have your own subscriber list!
Your 1000 true fans are YOURS, to take to whatever platform you please, but only if you have an email list.
This is GOLD and my biggest takeaway already.

B:


After 1 day = 20 free downloads of book 1. (Book 2 is in the making)

My FUNNEL blog for test B is now in danger of going down because of Big Brother Goog changing their policy (N-E-C-S-T), it will be interesting to see what happens.

I will post everything here, right now I'm going run it to the hilt, March 23rd is D-Day.

In four days the book will be 2.99$, we shall see what happens to the graph after that:


Bonus:

You see that little red "paid units" on the left?

That's a book I added over a year ago, no keywords, no categories, just forget about entirely...

It's starting to sell!

Dontcha just love passive income? Ok it's not a lot, but that's telling me something isn't it?

GET ON IT!


What do you want me to make next? Let me know?>>>https://zbooksco.typeform.com/to/NALmvc

The Difference Between Entrepreneur and Wantrepreneur

The first step on every journey of self-improvement and self-EMPOWERMENT is to conquer your fears.



 The first step as an entrepreneur is to conquer negative influences.
DO NOT PROCEED until you do this first.
This will probably be the hardest thing you ever do in your life -- because the two most influential people in your life, are your parents.
Your parents can either make you or break you.
If they are not making you - influencing you positively, then they are breaking your - influencing you negatively.
The red circle represents your circle of friends, your sphere of influence, your environment.
It is your job to "X" out all the negative influences in your circle of friends.
Notice how the cirlce right next to you has an "!" instead of an "X".
This is the hard part.
This is invariably your husband or wife.
You cannot just "X" them out like you did with your friends or parents.
You must RESOLVE this conflict with your spouse.
If you cannot get your spouse on your side - DO NOT PASS GO - DO NOT COLLECT 200$.
This is important!
If you do a half-baked job, your results will be half-baked, you will only have yourself to blame for the mediocre.
It is important to explain to your spouse that they do not have to go "all-in" with you, they do not have to know the product or business venture down to the very last detail, but you must get BUY-IN.
Your spouse WILL make or break your venture, because they can.
This is the hard part, if you cannot get them on your side ... what do you do?
If you proceed half-baked, you will build resentment against your spouse and or yourself.
Again; don't do it!
Get buy-in, take them carefully by the hand and explain that everything's gonna be all-right.
Otherwise -- get another spouse.
Yep, I said it, there it is.
How much is your life's dream worth?
If your significant other isn't making you, they are breaking you, directly or indirectly.

You are on the path to break the chain of mediocrity, your spouse is ALSO on that path with you, get buy-in or do not proceed.
