I have some fantastic news!!! My promotional strategies for my writing group's new free e-book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Getting Published, is working!!!This e-book was an experiment. I am writing a book on promoting e-books since I, myself, found it almost impossible to find ways to promote e-books, although I knew there must be a formula and I, indeed, have found the formula. And it works!!!
I told myself that when our book showed up on the first page of either Google or Yahoo under the search term, "Free e-books for writers," I would consider my strategy a success.
Tonight, it showed up in Google AND Yahoo under the FIRST listing!!!!
The link to Google is here and the link to Yahoo can be found here.
This is a moment to celebrate!
If I can do this with our free e-book, I can do this with other e-books!
If you still haven't received your copy of our free e-book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Getting Published, click here. Because of my promotional strategy and the effectiveness of my formula, we have given out almost 300 free e-books since it was released on March 1 and orders are still coming in.
It's a wonderful little book full of true stories from authors and writers who are carving their way up the ladder to success. To them, I thank them for making this possible.
Huge congrats, Dorothy! You'll have to tell me your secret. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy, I sure will! And..it only took two weeks for it to happen...dang! Oh, the best part is, everything I've done was free...no cost...nada...you think the world is ready for a book that will explain how to do it?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Dorothy. I've been following your progress for a while, so I know how hard you've worked. Good job! :-)

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I finish my wip, I'm going to start working on my e-book. I'll be full of questions, I'm sure. :)

I've gotten the book - and it is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteYou have put together some great stories from the authors - and let them say it with their own voice.
Nice.
