Zen and the Art of Self-Publishing with Janet Margot: Where craft, strategy, and calming down about book marketing actually meet. I'm Janet Margot - author, former Amazonian, Amazon Ads coach and founder of Book Geeks Media. I help indie authors navigate the tension between making meaningful work and finding readers for it. This isn't another "quit your day job in 90 days" channel. We talk about: Chilling out about Amazon Ads Craft challenges Managing your indie author finances Reducing comparisonitis The real problems of running an author business They're all book-ish conversations with authors, designers, and people who actually think about this stuff. Sometimes I'm solo. Sometimes my writing partner Victoria co-hosts. Sometimes we bring in guests. Always casual, often technical, never hustle-y. Because your book deserves both craft and strategy - and you deserve to stop spiraling about things at 2am. New episodes weekly. Shorts whenever the algorithm demands a sacrifice.
