Happy Bookaversary to me!
Today marks eight years since I had my first book hit the market. When my book first came out I write a blog post titled I Wrote A Book.
Since then its first publication, over twenty books have been sold. Don’t be sad. I am just happy that I had book sales.
Self Publishing
After having gone through the self-publishing experience, I can honestly tell you I’d never do it again!! Self-publishing is the publication of media by its author at their own cost, without the involvement of a publisher.
Marketing Plan
Maybe it’s because I didn’t take making a Marketing plan as seriously as I should have. I didn’t have a “marketing plan” in place. My plan consisted of zero advertising, word of mouth, social media posts, book giveaways, and writing blog articles. Next time a publishing company can do it all. I’d be happy to attend book signings.
Writing The Sequel
Writing the sequel has been a challenge over the last few years. Life has gotten in the way of actually sitting down, and pushing forward to get it done.
My goal is to finish things up by the end of this year. Stay tuned.
