There’s some helpful information I didn’t know about! Thank you for sharing it. One of the great things about our self-published books is that we can continue to market them over time, where a traditional publisher would move on to the next new release. I’m making slow progress with mine, but I figure it’s a learning curve, and little by little I’m getting better at it.

When I self-published my first book in 1999, we didn’t have social media in place. I felt as though I was obnoxious, constantly talking about my book at every opportunity. Then one day an acquaintance said, “Say, did you ever finish that book you were talking about?” I realized then why Coca-Cola runs so many commercials! It takes a lot of repetition to get the word to sink in.

I’m about to e-publish and then self-publish so this is really helpful information. I didn’t know about those sites you mention, so as soon as my book is out there I’ll register with them. Thanks again and good luck with the book, Gill
