Carissa's Thoughts On Selling Direct for Authors
Send us a textOne of the biggest takeaways I had from the latest round of conferences was that I wanted to test out selling direct - and in specific, using Shopify as my bookstore. Over the past few weeks, I've been prepping and building out my new Shopify store and I'm in love. So, with that in mind, in today's podcast episode, I'm talking about my experience transitioning my website to a Shopify store. What's been working, what's been a pain... as well as why I think indie authors really need to start considering this as their next viable step toward INDIEpendence. Have a listen!

Indie Authors: It's Time to Aspire for More
