But you are a success now! And long term, no flash in the pan. Congratulations!!
Thanks, Sunshine.
Dallionz, all I can say is keep writing, and prepare to put out the next thing! The game changed for me when I put out my fifth title under my romance pen name. And then again with my eighth. But even now, after 20+ titles overall (a lot of them 'just sitting there'), some babies I can't stop staring at--checking stats etc.
Plumone, yes, things certainly turned around for me. Writing in a popular genre (romance) made the difference. Also, Amazon is my main source of income, followed by Barnes & Noble. You are brave to work on building your base the way you are, and I wish you luck! But I don't have the time or energy--I prefer to keep writing, and gladly hand over Amazon etc. the percentage for access to their customer base!
Either way, good luck with getting the word out there about your babies, everyone! Now that my backlist has grown for the romance name, I'm looking into ads to increase my reach.
