Askalli: Self-publishing Advice Podcast

In this episode of the Self-Publishing with ALLi Member Q&A podcast, host Michael La Ronn discusses whether it's worth hiring a marketing company to promote your second book—and why many authors might be better off learning to market themselves first. Other questions include: Is there still a stigma around self-publishing in 2025? Should I limit how often I run Kindle Countdown Deals for the first book in a series? What’s the best mix of platforms for distributing ebooks and print books? Do short or long-form videos work better for book marketing? How can I prepare for my first in-person book signing event? What’s the best way to get indie books into libraries? And More!
