- Her journey to hybrid author
- The marathon approach she takes to her career
- How she differentiates success from being successful
- Her big goal of being on Dancing with the Stars

>>This week we're talking all about "the cliff" ... and how to keep from falling off of it. "The cliff" is the dreaded point in time in which most authors see their book sales suddenly ... plummet. Most often this is at the 30 day mark, as at that point what little boost Amazon has given you as a new release has ended. And unless you've built yourself a nice little flying contraption to keep your book in the air, the poor thing is going to run right off that edge and plummet to its doom.
Okay, okay, maybe it's not all that grim. But we authors like drama, sooo...
In this longer tips episode, we discuss book "maintenance", which is ... well, frankly, more advertising. Aka, the flying contraption that will keep your book afloat even long after it's initial launch! But don't despair! This doesn't have to be overly complicated, either.
