Although mine will be e-published and I won't have that glorious moment of opening the box filled with copies of my book, I'm hoping to do something like print out an A4 version of my cover for my wall, just to make it real and tangible for myself.<br />All the best with your series--it's fab.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414582999142142178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039726215669901937.post-61490082570433538712012-07-08T10:07:08.290+10:002012-07-08T10:07:08.290+10:00Happy this is useful fodder for you all, ladies!
...Happy this is useful fodder for you all, ladies!<br /><br />Adina, there's a previous promotion on "Vistaprint is my friend" where I've outlined what seems to have worked re: the products (but this is based on my opinion only).<br /><br />As for whether any of the other things I do re: promotion - newsletter, social networking etc. gauging how effective it is really isn't measurable.<br /><br />The other factor to consider is that promotion is such a personal thing and what works for one may not work for another. I've asked other authors and their responses reflect this.<br /><br />But having said that I can write another post about what I've found so far, as long as everyone understands that I have no real hard evidence to back up my opinions and this could all be totally different to what someone else discovers in their journey.<br /><br />One more thing, I've only been in the publishing game less than a year, so I haven't had a lot of time to evaluate the effectiveness of what I've been doing.<br /><br />I'll keep your request in mind and think about what should go in this post - thanks for your feedback and question, Adina. I appreciate it.Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039726215669901937.post-63866957080387368192012-07-08T08:39:31.460+10:002012-07-08T08:39:31.460+10:00Great post Kylie!
