Sell Your Book At The Painted Tree

Hey You!

Let me tell you what’s up: Have you ever thought about jumping out of your comfort zone and taking on a whole new challenge? Well, I did exactly that—moving from writing non-fiction (yawn) to diving headfirst into the exciting world of fiction! Imagine the thrill! And, yeah, a bit of fear too. But trust me, this isn’t just your average transition story.

I’ve been in the self-publishing game since 1998. I mean, that’s practically ancient in internet years! So, cranking out content isn’t new to me. But this year, I had a moment where I thought, enough is enough—it’s time to let my wild imagination take the lead. So here I am, kicking off a brand-new series of short fiction novels, and I’m getting some help from a few smart tools. Why keep all those great ideas locked in my head, right?

Now, here’s where things get interesting. I’m not just writing; I’ve got a plan that’s downright brilliant. Enter “The Painted Tree.” Ever heard of it? If not, you’re about to. It’s this vibrant retail wonderland filled with shops, bookstores, art vendors, and—get this—affordable rent! Spaces start at just $125 a month. That’s peanuts for a prime spot, don’t you think?

I took a stroll through The Painted Tree, and it felt like stepping into a creative carnival. Picture it: dazzling merchandise—clothing, home decor, and of course, book. The energy was electric, vendors creations everywhere. One vendor even told me she never had to pay rent out of her own pocket because her sales were that good! If that doesn’t scream opportunity, I don’t know what does.

Here’s the deal: Vendors get their own space to display their creations while The Painted Tree handles the sales. At the end of the month, they subtract the commission and rent from your sales and hand you the rest. No daily retail operation hassles. I could already see myself setting up a literary nook, promoting my fiction series, and connecting with readers. Can you feel the potential?

But why stop at one? I’m thinking big. I’ve got my eye on multiple Painted Tree locations across Georgia. One kiosk today, a dozen tomorrow. Strategic marketing, booming holiday sales—I'm all in. Why sell random stuff when I could have a booth dedicated to my books?

Here’s the real takeaway: I’m on fire. I’ve set some big financial goals and laid out a solid plan to grow my brand. It’s not just about being an author anymore; it’s about being a savvy marketer and building an empire. How’s that for inspiration?

And hey, why should I have all the fun? If you’ve got a book (or twenty) sitting on your desk, maybe it’s time to think outside the box—or should I say, kiosk? The Painted Tree is calling your name. Small investment, huge potential. You in?

Ready to make magic happen? My path is a masterclass in turning dreams into reality. Let’s see what you’ve got.

Catch you later,
