I finally broke into the English-language market in February by epublishing on Amazon. For a while I sold on average one copy a day, but for about ten days nothing's happened.
The thing is, I've barely ever socialised online. My posting here on AW constitutes about half of my online presence. Apparently a successful author is one who engages and brings attention to himself and his work, and I just have no idea how to do that.
What I've done so far is set up an author page on Wix, a Facebook page in English, and emailed three review sites. The sites haven't responded and the pages have gotten no reaction.
I MEANT to have it available for 4,99, but didn't account for the VAT, so ended up more expensive. I just tried lowering the price by two dollars.
I would really appreciate some beginner's advice on online author-ism.
