Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions...Eric,<br />Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions. There was an issue with Kindle, but I hope it is well on its way to being resolved, and will update the link accordingly (as was my plan, but I did not plan on it taking this long).<br /><br />While I had hoped that this work would get signed and I would have the more typical experience that you're having, I'll take what I can get. I'm hoping that this is successful, because how people access books is shifting. Frankly, the only physical books (other than for my children) that I have purchased in the last year were Tap Out and Fellow Mortals by Dennis Mahoney.<br /><br />Congratulations on your continued success and I can't wait to read Dare Me. And again, thank you for the advice.<br /><br />-KRBKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312004547872461641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127402598453123831.post-9535192715436401212013-05-31T05:51:51.563-07:002013-05-31T05:51:51.563-07:00Kate,
Hey, Eric Devine. Grant sent me your link. G...Kate,<br />Hey, Eric Devine. Grant sent me your link. Good for you for just going for it. Publishing is a crazy business and self-pubbing is infinitely different than it used to be. My two cents: <br /><br />The Kindle link does not go directly to your book, so you should adjust that (no big deal). <br /><br />However, the best thing you could do is provide a sample chapter or two, preferably on smashwords or via Nook Press (if they allow that-I have no clue). That way you can garner wider reader interest via the teaser, and you should be able to track the number of downloads of samples to sales. <br /><br />Further, get on Goodreads as an author and run a giveaway. Then run another. It is currently one of the best ways to get buzz going over your work.<br /><br />And always, enjoy.Eric Devinehttp://ericdevine.org/noreply@blogger.com
