Welcome to the Kickstart Your Book Sales podcast with USA Today bestselling authors Russell Nohelty and Monica Leonelle, where you’ll learn how to supercharge your book sales, go aggressively wide, and take your author career to the next level.
Today we are doing something VERY different and cross-posting an episode of our new podcast, The Six Figure Author Experiment. Lee and Russell are joined by Melissa Storm to discuss releasing a NSFW paranormal romance comic book on Kickstarter. They’re two days into this launch and are already fully funded. This is the third episode of the podcast, so if you want to catch up the experiment from the beginning, head on over to SixFigureAuthorExperiment.com and listen from the beginning.

Content warnings: dirty jokes. It’s Lee’s fault. Put your headphones in.

• Popular genres on Kickstarter
• Pros and cons of working with a comic publisher
