Thanks Sandree. It’s definitely been a long road, but when I first started out in 2013, I had realistic expectations. I didn’t even think I could sell 50 books. Soon, I’ll be posting how I thought Fussy Librarian, Robin Reads, and Bargain Booksy went.
Right now, I did a 20 book giveaway of Plenty of Fish on Amazon. I did the first come, first serve option with people having to follow me on Amazon. All prizes were claimed. Before that, I had put 5 books of Perfect Little Murder as a giveaway. They have to follow me on Amazon, but I chose winner as random draw. I instantly regretted it after the first day. The lowest option was every 100th person a winner with Amazon saying they’d help promote. I only have 2 days left and so far 76 have been entrants. I doubt I’ll get 100 people. So, my next try will be all 5 prizes switched to first come, first serve basis. The only plus I can see is getting more followers on Amazon unless they quickly unfollowed me after not winning lol.
Perfect Little Murder wasn’t accepted for a new release mention on Bookbub, so I’ll play around on Book Brush to create an ad and start a BookBub ad. Something cheap to start out with. I have a feeling if I can get eyes on my books from BookBub then things may start looking up.
