Been working hard on my latest manuscript (still untitled) though
the Easter weekend did muff up my writing schedule a bit. I also have a big
promotion coming up for DROP OUT on April 4th with KND’s new Book
Gorilla newsletter. I paid extra to be on the premier front page and be exposed
to @ 20,000 opt-in readers. Will it be profitable? I guess we’ll see. I need to
sell 150 books to recoup the cost.
I’m also trying a new promotion with a site called
BooksandAuthors.net. I paid to have DROP OUT ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FX0K7U
) its description and Amazon link tweeted on their Twitter site three times a
day for one month. They have 180,000 followers, so I only need a small
percentage to purchase the book to earn out. I also think the exposure from
both promotions is going to be huge. The tweeting promotion started four days
ago and I have already noticed a slight increase in sales.
It’s the beginning of the month again and authors who sell
through Amazon know what that means, the dreaded brown bar of zero sales as the
book stats reset. With the impending nice weather, I anticipate a new batch of
readers aching to grab their Kindles, find a quiet, comfortable spot under a
shady tree, and get lost in one of my books. Let’s hope so.
