Ten days post debut novel going live and I’m still trying to learn this marketing thing. During pre-order and my first week I had it in all major platforms. I had a few sales on Amazon but everywhere else, they weren’t happening and I’ll be honest I was impatient. I pulled it off of the other retail sights and signed it up for Kindle Unlimited. The day after that I offered it for free for 48 hours. I got some movement but of course no royalties are earned on free downloads and page reads.
During that same time I set my second novel for pre-order. Now I’m writing, and trying to market the first book while pushing interest in the second. I’ve also managed to set up my Goodreads profile and added an Instagram account.
If you’re not social media savvy or comfortable posting online. I suggest you get there. Fast. I’m doing a little more day by day and devouring podcasts from others who are successful self publishers.
Next up. Mailing list. But first I need to rent a PO Box so my home address doesn’t show on the emails.
What about you? Tips? Tricks? Comment below.
