If you’ve checked in at Indie Author Training this month, you may have noticed we’ve made some changes to the site. We’re really excited to share them and hope they’ll make it even easier for you to find the tech tools, lessons, and writerly advice you need to make your author business thrive.
In October, our webinars focused on ways to help you reach the next stage in your author career. In a live webinar, co-founder of The Sell More Books Show Bryan Cohen did a deep dive with a six-figure author to show how to scale royalties. You can check out the replay here: Author Coaching for Profit and Scaling.
We have even more webinars coming up, so rush over to our webinars page to see what will help you move the needle in your career.
As part of the streamlining of IAT, our Tech Tools have moved: You’ll now find them in the Get Started section at the bottom of the page. This month, we’ve launched several, including one for Zero Strategy Games. Have you ever considered gamifying your words and your worlds? Zero Strategy Games is keen to work with indie authors and literally bring your stories to the table. Check it out at Tech Tools.
We’re all looking for ways to help us get back more time. With this in mind, IAM creative director Alice Briggs is teaching you how to clone yourself with custom GPT bots, taking tasks like social media scheduling, writing marketing copy, and organizing your schedule off your hands, so you can get back to writing. Check out the course here: Clone Yourself with Custom GPT Bots.
This month sees the introduction of something of which we’re very proud: Book Club Summaries for Indie Authors. At Book Club Summaries, we’ll showcase a nonfiction book every month to help you with your mindset, support you in your career, or help you overcome the pain points in your business. Each Book Club Summary has:
- an audio deep dive,
- a synopsis,
- a discussion forum, and
- discussion questions for indie authors.
Although the books featured may be of general interest, each element in these courses has been tailored to indie authors. October’s book was The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor, and in November, we’ll be chatting about Atomic Habits by James Clear. Each summary is its own course and is free for you to enjoy and join in the discussion at any time, once you’ve set up your Indie Author Training account. Just visit our website.
See you there!
