I am relatively new to this group. On Februar 27, published my first book I know that getting your book out there is an uphill battle. Right now, I do fee down; however, I am not out. I ha one urpose for my book It was to help people, who suffered from low self-esteem, depession and rejection. I am using my persona stories to hel others.
I hae had some good feedback from my target audience. Thats encouraging howevr, I am frustated by the anemic sales of my book on Amazon It is called "A Lesser Human: An Anthology of Overcoming" and here's my author's page: http://www.amazon.com/author/barrybri.... The print is sold for $7. There is an ebook for $3.99. By the way, my book is done through CreateSpace. Yes, I am self-ublish. I don't have the $$$ for the reguar route
I would have thought those prices would help. I've mention the book on my Facebook profile and I woud seemingly get a arge # of intrest. Howeer, it seems they want a local outlet I have checked a bookstore and Id hae to jack up the price to make any return on my investment. The book store is in Long Branch , NJ and I'm 30 minutes away and I cant drive. They wanted to split the sales price. It would cost me, $3 pe book and this include my dropshipping cost. You do the math. :(
What the heck am I doing wrong? I am trying to get church ministry groups involved. Ithought direct sales would work. I really don't know what to do. I did managed to get a local newspaper to do a review of my book and it was a nice one .
