I'm starting this a little late, mostly because I've been busy as hell in my real life. However, over on an author's blog last week, I kind of got goaded into publishing one of my stories on Amazon.
Looking at what I had that wasn't being submitted at the time, I came across a novelette I wrote a while back. It wasn't my best work, but it was serviceable. So, I figured, what the heck.
I went to the Kindle Direct Publishing site and set everything up. So, After the Blast went live a week ago today.
In that time, I've sold 68 copies, which I'm pretty pleased with. I didn't think I'd sell that many in a month.
About all I did was share the link on Facebook (both in my timeline and a group or two I was a member of) and Twitter. My friends and family shared it as well.
So far, so good.
I'm now kind of hooked on the self publishing thing as it stands, so I figured I'd go ahead and share what I've done so far, that way I can share what I'll do in the future as well...
...and maybe beg for help on other stuff related to this thing.
