Many thanks JT, I appreciate your continued thoughts and advice.
I'm diving back into SL Huang's thread from the beginning as there's so much in there of value. Definitely helped me to make the decision to go for a CC license...now to also consider the exclusivity with Amazon more closely.
One of the next big steps for me is to figure out how to do promo deals successfully, starting with a Kindle Countdown (I'm exclusive for the first 90 days at least, so best to try out all the perks!) and then moving onto the various mailing list/promo sites and see which ones will accept me and that I can afford. Sales have flatlined this past week, but KU is still getting reads each day which is a good consolation prize to keep the head held a bit higher - although it does make the exclusivity question even more difficult.
At the moment, the greatest difficult (and opportunity) revolves entirely around my ability to motivate myself to produce new content and manage promotions - I'm glad to say that coming back to AW occasionally helps on both counts. Onwards and upwards!
