This week has been a real learning curve in terms of being your own business and trying to get royalties from overseas. I thought I fixed the bank rejection trouble with my iTunes Royalties only to be told that it was rejected again. Why? Because it wasn’t an overseas account. That’s right, I need to create a middle bank account, one that will take my royalties from overseas and then transfer them into my Australian account. It must be simple to create that account, right? Wrong!
I am now waiting to hear back from my bank to know how to create that middle overseas account to act like a middleman. Hopefully, I hear back next week, otherwise, I might be receiving my first royalties six months after the fact.
On the positive side, I created my first social media ad to boost engagement and, hopefully, sales. It will last a week and then I will try to create another. If the first one works. The ad will let people know about my next event and where my books are. Hoping they will then check out my website.
If you have came here because of the ad, comment below your city/country you are from and let’s see how who is the furthest from where I live.
