I am not ashamed to share this at all. Yes, I have only sold 119 books to date and I am damn proud of that! I think it is a miracle! I have had NO marketing budget. My marketing has consisted of late nights on my computer emailing a ton of libraries, of posting ads on my Facebook and Instagram sites and of making videos on TikTok.
I did try Amazon ads once for a week and saw no increase in sales.
My big jump in September is when my books became available in Barnes & Noble. The next jump is because my library ordered a copy of every book I published for the Local History department. So far in November I have only seen a couple of sales.
I am NOT disappointed.
Having my books in libraries means people can check them out and maybe enjoy them! I say maybe because it is possible they will check them out and not like them. In that case, I am glad they didn't waste their money buying one!
It has been slow going this year, but it's been upward and I feel blessed.
