Hardworking Author-Turned-Marketer Pursues Sales

It’s the beginning of week three, and STILL no electronic sales. In response, I am expanding my marketing strategies to include the following:

1) A Podcast

I realize that this is going to require another measure of my time each day, but even if I upload a podcast twice a week, an audio broadcast will raise interest in the topics I write about.

2) Raise Activity in Social Communities

I confess that maintaining Twitter, Facebook, Fanstory and Blog accounts is already challenging, and I’m going to add on podcasting, but there is more to be done and there are greater audiences to reach. As a result, I volley on and continue looking for communities I can join where authors and readers congregate.

3) Sell Physical Copies

Honestly, I have to wait until I get paid to buy copies I can sell by hand. I am praying that I will not lose my immediate audience before then. School is soon closing, and teachers and students are a large support group.

4) Book Clubs

I am going to submit my book to a few book clubs to see if the groups are interested in reading and discussing Anita’s character and life.

If you have any additional ideas, I am open to listening because a sister has got to get her grind on.

I can't just sit around here waiting for sales. I have to pursue them.

That’s for real.
