Thanks! My cover is fun and people like it, so if the cover’s not the issue, I won’t change it. I just have to figure out the whole marketing thing. Thanks for the ideas.

The illustrated cover debate seems to be an ongoing one. I rebranded over the summer and replaced my illustrated covers with people in hopes that was the issue. Ultimately, I’m selling WAY more book snow, but am sure that has more to do with marketing than the cover. As long as your cover is very professional looking I think you’ll be fine. Good luck with your pursuits! It sounds like you have a lot on your plate.

Good luck, D.A.! It’s a very satisfying journey in the end.

I’ve tried the free promos and had some success with that. I’m going to work with someone on marketing it better. I thought it was interesting that he said I might want to have more of an illustrated cover for romcom because that’s what most of them have. My book also has a picture. I’m also switching genres for my trilogy that is coming out to NA epic fantasy. But, I would like to write another book to go along with the one I have out.

You went through a lot just to market (and a lot of money). But, in the long run, it sounds like you’re back on track. I look forward to one-day publishing and sharing my book with the world! I have a short story through Amazon, but my baby is still WIP. Keep it up, I’ll check out your novel 😀

Thanks Jill! It was exhausting. But I’ve managed to stay #1 in Comedy for a couple weeks now so it was worth it. xo

It helps to get the numbers. And it helps to know you shot high in a lot of these areas. It gives me confidence to try. I just released a book a couple of weeks ago (see the cat story on here) and now I know my downloads aren’t as bad as I thought. They’re not as high as yours at all but I think respectable for never having put out a novel previously. Will check out your book. Cheers!

How were you not overwhelmed? This is fantastic information for authors and your stats and what you spent helps put everything into a helpful perspective.
I appreciate your honesty and sharing your hard work.
