2022 Review for JR Heimbigner Writes
2022 Review for JR Heimbigner Writes
Giving you a little 5-3-1 Review
Can you believe that the year is coming to a close?!
Sometimes this year felt like it was going on forever. And then other times, it felt like it was taking forever. Yet, here we are at the end of December.
As I look back at this year, I have found myself with three major lessons for writing and self-publishing that I wanted to share with you.
I also wanted to share with you my top five posts across Substack and Medium with you. I want to make sure you got to see them if you missed them.
Lessons Learned from 2022
Here are the three quick lessons learned from 2022 that I want to take with me into the new year.
I only have so much time. This means I need to focus on the most important work. And let go of the less important work.
Don’t for get return on investment. I can easily get stuck in idealism. However, with writing and trying to go full time, I have to focus on what returns I am getting.
I am not someone else. So, their success won’t be mine. Their path may not be mine either. Learn from people, don’t try and mimic them.
These are my three quick lessons from 2022. Do any of them resonate with you? Leave a comment if they do!
Top 5 Posts from 2022 on Medium and Substack
These are the best posts from this year. Now, I have posted a lot of content, but these ones really seemed to hit home across platforms.
What I Have Learned About Social Media and Self-Publishing (Substack)
Self-Publishing Authors: You Are The Promoter of Your Book (Medium)
Self-Publishing Authors Cannot Be Shy About Their Work (Substack)
These are the top five posts across my two main platforms this year. As you can see, we hit on self-publishing a ton and each one of these brings some great value.
My #1 Resource for Self-Publishing
There are a lot of resources out there for self-publishing authors. Websites to connect you with editors and cover designers are great. So are the ones to help you do it yourself.
Yet, there is one resource that has helped me succeed more than any other. This is the secret to my #1 Bestseller success.
KDP Rocket
This one tool helps me to research keywords and categories for my book so that I can secure the #1 spot on many of the categories my books are found under.
The best part is, you purchase it one time and use it forever. I have used it for all six of my books. And I have helped other authors using this tool (if you are interested in getting help with this, let me know).
If you plan on publishing multiple books, then you need to pick up this program today. Click the button below and pick up KDP Rocket.
