I have been doing Goodread...Thank you for sharing! I have been doing Goodreads ad campaigns over the last two months that have led to 300 'adds on TBR lists'. Don't think it is quite giving me the sales I need - though maybe in the future? I have also run Facebooks ads that have led to 300+ likes on my fan page within a month, and I think it drove some sales. Maybe the trick is to keep plugging along? The more people see the book the more motivation to buy?Terra Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06108760721522224877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-41888410049322390972012-03-15T16:53:35.032-05:002012-03-15T16:53:35.032-05:00Very useful information for me, Sandra, as I'm...Very useful information for me, Sandra, as I'm trying to decide what to do for my upcoming release.

I, too, have one running now and have tried various ads. I hadn't thought of linking to Amazon. I'll go do that now! I'm also running a giveaway and this time posted an "ebook" excerpt. How about you?T.W.

My best sales of Lyon's Legacy came in December when I dropped the price to $0.99 (and posted about it on a few big blogs). Last week, I "sold" more copies of a free short story than my novella, even when the novella was 75% off. Since the short story also includes the first chapter of Lyon's Legacy, I hope some of those readers eventually purchase the novella. Free doesn't cover my editing/cover costs! There's still so much I need to do in the way of promotion, but ultimately I have to put more work out there first.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-18920809281129197632012-03-14T02:23:44.432-05:002012-03-14T02:23:44.432-05:00Thanks for the information Sandra.

I'd be interested in taking a look at how your sales were/are affected if you decide to post those.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
