And so on. The more books you have available, the more people will be able to find something from you.<br /><br />My take on promotion? Only do that which you would do on a regular basis, and only if it's fun. (Why do it if it's not fun?) For instance, if you have a FB fan page but prefer to be on Twitter because you like getting into short conversations with people.<br /><br />There are also some indie ebooks you might consider picking up if you have the dough/time: John Locke's How I Sold a Million Ebooks in 5 Months. Just going through this now; I'm not sure I have the time or energy to do what he did, but it might be worth your time ($4.99)<br /><br />This is one I haven't bought as yet, but it looks interesting: Self-Publish Your Novel, by Robert Kroese. Has sold over 10,000 copies of his novel. ($2.99)<br /><br />One last one, before you throw me outta here ;-) is: How to Make, Market, and Sell Ebooks - All For Free, by Jason Mathews. It might be more for non-fiction, but I think he covers territory similar to John Locke. Might be worth a look.<br /><br />Continued success for you! :-)Nancy Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214579721075450777noreply@blogger.com
