Hi Friend,

Finding new readers is the name of the game, once we start publishing.


That, and writing new books, of course.


BookFunnel is great with the first bit and is a software tool that helps us find our find readers.


I love how affordable and flexible this tool is. Jump over to BookFunnel to check it out for yourself.


And no, they didn't pay me to say this. I've been a longtime user and it's helped me find 100s if not 1000s of new fiction (and nonfiction) readers!


Today is part 2 of 2 of our conversation. We talked direct sales, the future of publishing, and what's next for BookFunnel! Scroll down for all the links.


If you missed Part 1, you can find it here.

Interview with Bookfunnel creator Damon Courtney, part 2

“I want you to own the relationship with your reader. It should be your website they’re buying on, not mine. So they’re buying on your website. They’re experiencing your process.”

– Damon Courtney
