So, I've sold 78 books so far this month and we have about half of it left. That's good. As for free downloads they are in the 100s. I read +Joe Konrath 's blog and it is inspirational.
But chicken and egg. If people haven't heard from you it's difficult to connect with them - or make them want to connect with you. And without that base of people who are interested, how do you get the word out in the first place?
Seems the answer is slow. I was reading in +Brenna Aubrey 's blog that she gave out lots of Advance Reader Copies before publication and this worked so well that she sold 9,129 books in December. That's the sort of figure to knock your block off.
How's that done? Probably by writing something pretty good that people want to read and then knowing how to market it. I have nothing wise to say about this, except that it feels a long way off.
