Writing and Publishing: My First Steps into Marketing

After two months of being on the market, I can definitely say that I need marketing.

No stranger has bought my book. 

One of the reasons I think this is, is because my book is expensive for an unknown author who may write trash.

So, my first step is to lower the price of my book.

Sure, friends and family encouraged me to sell it for more than $0.99, but let’s get real. They are, after all, my friends and family. So, I have gone to Nook and Kindle and changed my price from $2.99 to $0.99.

This change will take a few hours (up to 72 hrs) to be displayed on the eStores, so in the meantime, I have at least uploaded a profile picture. You can now see it on my blog. Right there.

I am not photogenic or extroverted, and you can understand how this is a HUGE step for me. But I do want people to experience my books, so sacrifices must be made.

Next, I am researching forums and places I can announce my book.

Yes, just announce it.

After that, we’ll go from there.

Stay tuned to see how it goes!

​cheers!
