@susankayequinn@wandering.shop I agree about Amazon and Meta, and I don't have an issue with BookBub. They've never worked very well for me, but c'est la vie 🤷‍♀️ And yeah, ALLi are too keen on AI. They were too keen on blockchain too, a few years ago. ~Robin

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop I get very frustrated that many authors seem to think the only way to market their books is through Meta/Amazon/BookBub ads. Lots of authors seem to be resistant to trying creative ways of marketing. ALLi used to have a regular feature on their blog about creative marketing, and I miss that. ~Robin

The deadline to be included in the claim against Anthropic is 30 March. If you haven't already done so, submit your claim now. The Authors Guild have a useful guide.

We've recently set up a service called the Indie Ad Network, or IAN for short. The idea is that authors can display ads for each other's books, with no popups, cookies, tracking, data harvesting, or all the other things that make most online ads awful.

Just a picture of the book and a link to where to buy it.

And it's all free.

You can see an example of an advert at the bottom of the sidebar on Robin's author website (https://russellphillips.uk).

Any self-published or small press author can submit a book ad and we'll run it for six months. If you're also showing our ads, your ad will run indefinitely.

You can add a book to be advertised (one per author name, for now) here: https://ian.authorhelp.uk/info/submit/

If you have a website and you'd like to display adverts for other author's books, go here: https://ian.authorhelp.uk/info/installation/

The service is currently in a limited beta. Authors of the Fediverse are welcome to join, but we'll close the forms if it gets too busy.

@Firlefanz@writing.exchange @writingbooks@fedigroups.social sorry, I didn't notice there were replies to this post until just now 🙄 If you let me know the URL of the site where the widget is being displayed, I'll add it. Then your ad won't expire after six months. Thanks for taking part 🙂
