00:00What foundational framework do you find most indie authors are missing when they try to balance creative writing with effective
00:06self-publishing and market presentation?
00:08I think it's hard to do it all and you have to pick what you're good at and what you
00:13like and maybe, you know, budget-wise what you can afford to pay for, right?
00:18So if you're self-publishing, then you're paying for your editor, you're paying for your cover, you're probably paying for
00:24a formatter.
00:25If you're doing an audiobook, that's another huge expense.
00:28So, you know, it's kind of just picking, like, do you like to create graphics?
00:32Do you like to create copy for social media?
00:35Then maybe you can do that, but, you know, it's going to be at least a couple of hours a
00:39week to put out your social media.
00:40So it's like how much time you have and then deciding, you know, what your goals are.
00:45If you want to be an A-list author and get an agent, that's a whole nother avenue from self
00:51-publishing.
00:52So you're going to be working on different things if that's your goal.
00:56If self-publishing is your goal, then, you know, what do you outsource?
00:59What do you like doing?
01:01And just focusing on the things that bring you joy probably in the end and keep your budget in a
01:06good place.
01:07Okay.
01:07Okay.
01:07Okay.
