Hope you all had a great weekend. I decided to not bore you over the weekend with daily updates as I didn’t have a lot to report. I did sell 1 copy of Stilettos in the UK after a month long dry spell so that was exciting. Today I am going to spend some time on the Kindle Boards promoting my book and interacting with other authors.
Here is a good blog post on how to keep yourself motivated. I know sometimes I need all the help I can get.
Have a great day!

Yesterday was another slow/no sales day. I realize that marketing is about consistency, hence my 30 day commitment to be consistent.
Today I will be tagging on Amazon and hopefully be tagged back on the Kindle Boards. This will increase search capabilites and hopefully increase sals when someone searches my catagory.

Two days of not so great sales to say the least. But today is a new day and today I will be marketing by interacting on bookblogs.com.
WHat’s your focus today?

With a lot of help I have narrowed down the title of this years holiday novella to three choices. Now I need your help to pick the winner. I would love your opinion.
1. Christmas & Crime
2. Mistletoe & Murder
3. Gingerbread & Guns
Thanks for your help.

A DEPRESSING big fat zero, zilch, nada. But not every day can be a winner. It’s all about staying the course and being consistent.
What are you doing today to meet your goals?

So not the most successful day but I can’t give up. Today I will be focused on the Kindle Boards for my marketing activity. I have only sold a couple of my new book Necklaces & Nooses. I wonder if the cover is too “thriller’ and not enough “chick lit’ your opinion???

So yesterday proved that some of my marketing efforts have lasting effects. I sold 2 books while watching a marathon of Law & Order reruns.
Today I am going to try and drum up some business with interacting on the Nook boards.
Wish me luck!

Sunday’s marketing initiative will be nothing. Taking the day off.
Yesterday I sold the following of my Presley Thurman mystery series:
Stilettos & Scoundrels
Kindle 1
Nook 0
Necklaces & Nooses

So only 1 sale for the day which like I said yesterday still excites me, it’s one more reader that is going to read my book. However, I had hoped the momentum of my Kindle Nation Daily would go a little further. Today’s marketing activity is to comment on at least 3 blogs of other authors. That type of activity builds exposure and maybe sales. We will see.
Wish me luck!
What are you doing today to build a new habit?

Kindle 1 YEAH!!!!! Finally

I was happy to still sell 7 books without the Kindle Nation Daily promotion going on and absolutely thrilled I finally sold a Kindle copy of my new book Necklaces & Nooses. Each book I sell is exciting for me.
Today for my marketing activity I am going to interact on my different Facebook groups for authors I belong to. Wish me luck?
What habit are you trying to create?
