Another Week
Signed on to Goodreads.com this week and I’m setting myself up there. The Troll Hunter was also featured on kindleboards.com book of the day, and I contacted a few more site regarding reviews. Thus far, The Troll Hunter has been disappointing in sales, and I hope that the new cover and ad will do something […]
New Covers and Book Promo
New covers have now been given to “The Troll Hunter” and “The Missing Boatman.” The cover for THH was inspired by a TerryR (from Kindleboards) and tinkered with by my buddy Mark. The cover for TMB was done by Diane Whiddon, who is also the creator of the website here. I like the new covers, […]
Like Glacial Ice…
Things are moving. For the month of October, when I went live, I posted three books. “The Troll Hunter,” “No Experience Necessary –Teach English Overseas,” and “The Missing Boatman,” which were priced $2.99, $4.99, and .99 as a Halloween special. I shall now give you the total units per title sold… The Troll Hunter– One […]
The week before Halloween…
And I feel good. In the last seven days, I contacted the following sites for review requests. http://sfbook.com/ www.thebestreviews.com http://www.simegen.com/reviews/columns/midnight/ http://www.all-review.co.uk/ And even got replies back from some. Reviews take a while though, and there are a lot of people looking to get them out there. And these folks who read the books, well, I […]
Week Three
For “The Troll Hunter,” I found and contacted seven more indie books sites as well as one not so indie, as per my limiting myself to working on promotions for just an hour a day. Still waiting for replies from some. Got responses from others (noted below), and it’ll take a couple of months for […]
Game on
Well. “The Troll Hunter” went live a few days ago, and I’ve been busy with self promotion. I have something of a “blitz and pray” marketing plan, with each unit sold having a link to my website. I spend an hour every day, searching and looking at the web, and signing up for ebook sites […]
It’s official
“The Troll Hunter” is now on sale at Amazon for the low price of $2.99 (overseas is 4.99). So now, from here on in, this experiment in self publishing is happening. I’m going to try and do self-promotion on the net as much as possible, and keep an eye on the sales (if any) for […]
Getting Closer
Okay. So, I’ve been trying to learn the basics here, and pretty much convinced myself that I might be better off leaving it to the professionals. Trouble is… I’m a right stubborn bastahd. I managed to place a link–my first link–to Kate’s website on my blog page here. Trouble happened when I tried to rearrange […]
Is this on?
Okay. Let’s start this. Been reading a lot about self publishing. About the Pros and Cons. It’s interesting. And a little bit frightening in a “first time bungee-jumping” kinda way. I’ve read about other people doing it…. doing well (if I can believe them–have no reason to not believe them) now I’ll see if I […]
