Marketting week two...

So the campaign continues. This week I studied some more at the createspace discussion broads and it was recommended that I create a website to support my books. I looked which sites were the best and went with Yahoo again. I used them once before for my ill-fated sticker company. So I created a website in minutes and linked the whole mess to the Amazon book pages. Its thought that this might help sales...I don't know. It in part seems like a added expense, and I am not really happy with the limitations with the site. Anyway I sold two more books, which is good. I think I am a long way from my fantasy of selling hundreds or thousands. But who knows its out there.

World conquest!

Just to let anyone stumbling past this blog, that I now have two graphic novels for sale through Amazon.com. It's been a long road to get here, art school, years of trying to break into the business, days of self doubt. But now thanks to technology the chance to self publish (without printing thousands of dollars worth of copies) is here. I published both books Warmachine and the Smashed Infants through Createspace.com. So far its been a very good experience for me, but now the books are up the hard work begins. Marketing and selling my self and my work. This is new ground for me, but I am learning fast.
