Promotion for Your E-Book

If there was a secret formula for promtion and marketing, we all would be rich and famous.  What works for one, might not work for another.

It is said that the best promotion is your next book.  I agree with that, but I feel that you still need to get the word out. 

I have paid for advertising on line.  It didn't do any good. So I decided not to waste my money there anymore.

I like to blog, so I blog.  I find it interesting that viewers from other countries find me.  I like to see that.  The more you blog, the more hits you recieve.  Google likes new content, so the more you blog the more hits you get.  I try to blog everyday, but that does not always work out.

I am on facebook, though I have no idea why people are on face book.  I have an author page
www.facebook.com/pages/sharon-lee-johnson/140014492748141   It is different from a regular facebook page.

I keep my amazon page up to date with all my books  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson

I do have a website... http://sharonleejohnson.com  Though keeping a website is expensive.  Some authors use this website as their webpage  www.blogspot,com

I also have print books out along with e-books..I use createspace  www.createspace.com  The reason being is that I can hand books out to people that support me.  I may run across someone that wants a book but doesn't have a kindle.  I can sell them one.  I may not get rich off of print books, I do enjoy selling my print book and having the honor of signing a book that I wrote

I have business cards and postcards for my books also... www.vistaprint.com 

order their business cards, you can get them for 10 dollars then once you are on their mailing list they will send you e-mails and sometimes you can get postcards free or for 5 dollars and just pay shipping, might have to wait, but I recieves 100 postcards for 10 dollars, I just wait for the deals to come, I never pay full price at vista print. 

The best thing is to get the next e-book out. 

The month of September I published 3 E-Books..Not full length novels  3 short stories.

Alone with Zombies  www.amazon.com/dp/B00EWTMN14

The Smell of Death  www.amazon.com/dp/B00F294UM8

Avoid All Grave Yards  www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAI9NAA

In Oct I will publish at least one and hopefully one more.

There are no easy answers for promotion, but I find that publish a short story every month helps my sales.  I am selling every month and am recieving royality checks also. 

What are you doing to promote your book????

Any ideas, let me know

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Writing Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
