0:24 Read one of your books!
0:47 Update your Facebook header image
2:21 Apply for a BookBub featured deal on a free first in series.
3:20 Make a new media kit.
4:10 Write a vignette.
4:25 Cross promo that vignette!
4:55 Make a backlist book free.
5:30 Go live (see below for the script!)

Script for going live:
“I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone, and I’ve heard Facebook really likes live videos, so let’s give this a try. This week, I’m trying to write [Book title], which is connected to [Book that’s already out]. If you haven’t read that one, let me know in the comments and I’ll share a copy with you!”
