Having conquered all of the technical aspects of Kindle, I will now begin tackling the marketing and promotion of my novel. I’ll also be thinking about my next book to be uploaded entitled The Damsel and the Hermit. Yeah, not very creative but it’s the best I could come up with and my wife likes it, soooo… But I digress. Marketing and Promotion.
My first order of business was to set up my Author Page on Amazon. It was quick, easy, and fairly painless.
The next order of business will be to help move my novel’s listing by giving it away. That may seem counter intuitive, but it is said to work. Amazon places ebooks on their list according to the number of downloads. It doesn’t matter if those downloads are at full price, reduced price, or free. The more downloads you have, the higher on the list you appear. But because of my inherent procrastinatory tendencies, I will put that off for a couple of days just to see if anyone stumbles across my novel all on their own.
Once my curiosity is satisfied, I will be offering my novel Soul Searching for free, and posting it to my Facebook page.
BTW, my Author Page can be found at http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B012LA0TE8
Its a little long and unwieldy, but I can change it to something that makes more sense. But first I have to figure out what that could be. My name in all of its variations is taken.
