So, sales are trickling - 15 Kindle editions and one paperback in the last month or so. I've been Twittering and Squidooing, and my two websites are fully up and running. Five 5-star reviews so far and I've sent a copy to the area library, which act ties in with a possible mention on local radio.
It's a bit frustrating, really. I've been trying to contact film industry folk, with no response apart from "Get an agent". So I'm wondering what to do next. I have Kindle et al versions, an adobe Digital Editions version and print-on-demand paperbacks available in the UK and US.
Any thoughts on how to outstrip the competition? Thanks.
Thanks, folks.
Louise, I’m thinking of a book launch at my local library but that could be too local. It might be better to do a launch with the libraries in York, where the book is set.
Victoria W, I took the KDP Select route first! In fact, Amazon is the source of 99.9% of my sales. I find the other figures odd: B&N 0, Kobo 0, Diesel 0, Lulu 1, Smashwords 890 sample downloads and not one sale.
Victoria L, Goodreads sounds promising...I will take a look.
Thanks again :D
it has like 14mil passerbys and several mil members...might generate a bit more traffic for you :) you can add me on there too :)
Goodreads is also a great site, go through the author programme and add lots of friends.
