Hi Charlie! Thanks so much for this; the timing is really helpful as I'm about to gear up to launch my next series in 2025 (yes, I mentioned this on Threads but am repeating myself for context! 🙈)
I only have one complete series at this point. Given I’m likely doing a Q2 (mid-May?) launch for my new series, do you think it's worth sprinkling in some "WIP" or "upcoming series" posts into my content calendar *before* the more intense launch period you laid out in your guide? Almost treating it as one of my content buckets, if that makes sense? I know readers do like hearing some news about WIPs, but I also don’t want to lead into it too early… but I’m also really excited to talk about this new world! The struggle, haha. Like, is there a time that's TOO early to talk about your series? 🤷♀️
Hi, yes absolutely!! I think it would be awesome to move this WIP into a “content bucket” before you start advertising it in earnest. Especially by drawing similarities for your existing readers to what they already know and love and the new series, you can generate some excitement even before having cover, release date, etc!
my friend it's okay!!! I am working to keep as much of this info as free as humanly possible!! Thank you so much for your support <3 I'm just happy to help!!
love this! wondering if ramping up social media about a specific title more than three months out creates audience fatigue/doesn't hit that sweet spot for anticipation vs attention span?
