I'm actually not over the moon about any of these.... Sorry @George Kao !
I have been trying to set up my amazon associates account prior to launching my book (which is still a ways off, but I wanted to get this piece done), and I'm having trouble.
I've used links in a few places hoping to get sales, and I have created links for friends to buy random things, in an attempt to get a sale, but that hasn't worked, and I'm not totally sure why.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for how I can meet the criteria to get started so I can meet the minimum (I think it's only 3 sales that need to go through)?
Thanks!!

I just signed up for Amazon Associates myself! But haven't started thinking about how to generate those initial 3 sales.
But following because years ago, I had signed up. And even though I had family/friends use my links to buy stuff, they somehow didn't count. And Amazon ended up terminating my status.
@Mike Wang I thought I replied to this, but I guess I didn't. I have had the SAME problem. I'm guessing it's related to what George commented on above - something to do with cookies or something. I guess I'll just let it go and try again later, maybe when I actually LAUNCH my own book so I can hopefully have enough sales that I'll actually get the credits for it!
It can be frustrating! I think the main reason is that more and more browsers are blocking cookies by default, so this breaks affiliate tracking. You can still try doing it, but work lightly :) and if you don't meet the criteria let it go for now. Then try again when your audience is bigger (next year!)
@George Kao well that's interesting. Thanks for that tip, and reminder :)
I started a paid subscriber-only podcast on Substack (this worked - I now have 2 more paid subscribers).
I was keeping each episode at 5 minutes, but then I heard that it was too short. This makes no sense to me because reels/tiktoks are around 1:30 and they have terrible retention for most. So why does 5 minutes seem short for a podcast?
Should I make the 5-minute version the free preview and the longer version the paid one?

I think some of this may have to do with expectations. When you say podcast, I expect it to be at least 10 minutes or more. Reels and such are made to be short and move fast. It's just a different format, which creates different expectations.
I prefer to listen to podcasts in the car, so I want to be able to listen to them while I drive and not have to concentrate TOO hard. I like podcasts that are about 30 minutes because that's roughly the amount of time it takes me to get almost everywhere. If they are too much shorter than that, then I have to either hope I like whatever comes up next on the list, or futz with it to find something I want to listen to next.
Not sure if this helps, but hopefully it does! When we record the podcast I cohost, we aim for about 30 min per episode, but we sometimes run longer. Occasionally we'll record a short one on purpose (if we are short on time, and/or to do something fun/different).

Hello!
After getting George's support on figuring out how to launch, I wrote a post to use as my launch post in November. I was actually inspired to create a slightly different package for this, but I don't know that it matters that I go into detail in this post. I'd love to hear thoughts on that, and on the post as a whole:
Where did November come from? I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to be heading full tilt into the holidays, but here we are.
The next question is is your pet ready for the holidays, too?
In the midst of all of the to dos, grocery trips, food planning, vacation preparations, and gift buying, is your pet prepared, too?
In times of high stress and activity, it is important to remember that our pets live in whatever energy that is happening to us. But they have no ability to take a break from it or make a change. They don’t get to take a vacation from us :)
I know this can seem like one. more. thing. to add to your plate in the middle of the busiest season of the year, but the consequences of not supporting your pet can include all sorts of things that are not desirable… like chewing of shoes, peeing outside the litter box, or emotional outbursts.
If you have too much on your plate right now and it feels unmanageable, this is where animal communication work can help support you and your pet through tough times.
Having a session can help to get you and your pet on the same page and prepared for the challenging times to come.
I’ve got a special package designed to support you and your pet through the holidaze ahead so that you and your pet can find the joy in the season together.

@George Kao the post is live, I added the links to the original post. Thank you for your support in getting it written!
I love this. It is so timely. I have a hard time with acting in a timely speed. If i had a nervous pet, your offer would catch my attention. Maybe add something about stress management may often involve being proactive . . . to help things go smoothly for your pet so you do not have even more stress dealing with their behaviors.
@Donna Becker Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts!
