Hello again,
Since I put 'This Son of York' out as a Kindle edition with Amazon on 10th December, I've sold 54 copies. All have gone via Amazon. The book is available with Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Lulu, Kobo, Diesel, Apple and Sony.
I've built two web sites, which I can track using Google Analytics. The biggest visits/sales surge came after I mentioned the book on a car forum to which I belong. Going on Radio York was fun but it didn't have the hoped for effect.
I've already sent review copies to the main newspapers - as yet the only response has been a 'deleted without being read' from one of them.
So, the question is, has anyone any marketing ideas?
Jonathan,
Thank you very much for the feedaread contact...my proof is in process and should be with me shortly.
This way, I can have Createspace offer physical copies in the US, while I offer such copies through my website in the UK. Kindle sales have gone static for now but the watchword is never give up.
David, do you have a Facebook and Twitter page for your book? Then you could do things like host contests to win a copy of your book and follow people on Twitter that might be interested in reading your book. Follow people on Twitter that show an interest in your genre if they tweet about that genre or say they like that genre in their bio.
Thanks Jonathan,
I'll take a look at your suggestions and, as ever, keep you all up to speed.
