BTS040, Low Budget Book Promotions Gone Wrong

The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

During May and June, I experimented with more low-budget book promotions on a 99-cent sale on my first-in-series novella, Missing. Naturally, things didn't go as expected. In this episode, I dive into why I believe my low-budget book promotions went horribly wrong. But before I delve into all of that, I discuss what I achieved in terms of writing and share a milestone that I've hit with writing the Candidate. Plus, I discuss the progress I made with Duplicity. Also, I made an interesting discovery concerning book reviews on Amazon. And I share an update on the new income stream that I've added to my business, as well as some lessons learned.
