Old School System Still Works For Organizing Ebook Material

There's an app to touch, trace, and track every part of your lives. Software probably exists to sort and organize the writing material for your ebooks as well. But since I only have a 'dumb phone', it's no surprise that this is my old school system for arranging text into an online book. 

 

Perhaps the best way to explain the method to my un-technological madness is with an excerpt from this ebook.

This is number 2 of 3 purging tasks that I suggest to help you become more prolific:

2. I would live a technologically celibate life if I could because the frustration of dealing with it chips away at my creative energy. I’m convinced that computers are possessed and schizophrenic. Today it’s necessary to be part artist, publisher, technologist, and marketer. But if you are spending more time on digital tools than writing it’s time to re-evaluate because those moody machines should support your writing not sabotage it. Simplifying your social media and sharing sites will save your scribe’s sanity.

 

4 Surprising Lessons From Writing My Last 3 Ebooks

The more you write the more you learn. The more you act the more productive you feel. The more books you publish the more confident you become.

In the last few months I've written and published two cookbooks and one more non-fiction business book. Here are 4 lessons I uncovered along the way that I pass on to help all of you who are also trying to navigate your way through the chaotic world of writing, self publishing, and marketing:

 

1.   Branding - It's challenging to represent, market, and communicate multiple brands within one company.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the ways I'm accomplishing this is to take advantage of the real estate within the pages of my ebooks. I have the main logo, as illustrated above, after the covers in all of my books. Then in my business books I place the Queensvoice character with a tagline, "Another QueensVoice Original Book To Help Artisticpreneurs Excel," to show brand consistency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My cookbooks are a fun series called, Labor Of Love, Laughter, And Liqueur, sharing creative cooking and cocktail recipes with different alcohols. TipsyCulinaryQueen takes center stage at the beginning of each book after the cover, followed by the volume number and series name. 

 

 

If you have multiple services and more than one brand to showcase in your business figure out how you can tie it all together with one logo, yet capture each division and display it in a form that delivers your marketing message in a consistent way.
