Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of The Publish To Impact Podcast. In this episode, we delve into the intricacies of the fourth month leading up to the launch of my book. If you're just tuning in, be sure to catch up on previous episodes for a breakdown of the writing, publishing, and launching journey ofer the last few months.

Here's what weeks 13-16 looked like



Week 13: Setting the Stage:

  • Officially set the launch date for January 30, 2024, and communicated it to my email list.
  • Opted not to form a launch team because I was simultaneously releasing a podcast release but always encourage first time others to create one.
  • Started preparing podcast episodes for release alongside the book, building anticipation among my audience.

Week 14: Formatting:

  • Initiated book formatting using preferred software, ensuring visual appeal and readability.
  • I'd reccomend outsourcing formatting for authors lacking necessary tools or expertise.

Week 15: Uploading and Preparing:

  • Downloaded formatted copies and prepared to upload them to the Amazon dashboard.
  • Uploaded separate files for paperback and Kindle versions, following Amazon's guidelines.
  • Selected pricing and ordered proof copies for quality assurance before the official launch.

Week 16: Final Touches and Feedback:

  • Received proof copies within 5-7 days, utilised them for proofreading and quality checks.
  • Made minor adjustments, such as adding logo initials to the spine
  • Reviewed the book for any last-minute changes and sought feedback

We're so close to launching Publish To Impact. Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to sharing the launching phase next time!
