Ok, my book dipped to # 13 on the FREE list last week so I decided to ramp up the promotion a bit. I think it worked. I started tweeting more and going onto facebook more. Within a few days I was back at # 6. It works. I don't know why it works, but it does. Don't underestimate it. Don't fear it. Just jump in and do it. I have no idea if my method is the most effect but I try to 1) retweet 5-10 things one of my followers wrote about -- I figure this helps them get the word out about their projects 2) I try to find 20 or so people a day to follow 3) I try to find topics that writers or romance readers would be interested in.
I was talking to a writer this weekend who said that she finds that facebook is the most effective promotional tool for her, but she has 5,000 friends. I don't even know how you find 5,000 people but I can imagine that if you do....Facebook seems more personal than tweeting. Anyone know how to get 5,000 friends? lol
The word people keep tossing around lately is audio. Everyone is asking if I have an audio book version. Not sure how to get one, but I suppose I should try.
My next personal goal, outside of writing, is to figure out Create Space and design a cover that will work well on it. I'd love a hard copy of my book. One more way to make it feel real to me.
