The Guy's Guide to Multiple Orgasms: E-publishing success
Hello all,
I just self-published my book:
The Guy's Guide to Multiple Orgasms. I formatted it for Amazon and Kindle, then re-formatted it for Smashwords. I also created a "Quick Shopping Cart" page through Go Daddy and promoted it a little on my blog:
Tantrachick
First few hours on Amazon, I sold 3 copies (all customers, no friends or family). Second day I sold 3 more and sold 5 on my own site. I have now sold about 50 copies between all three spaces (Amazon, Smashwords and my own site).
I only have one review on Amazon, but it is a 5 star! I created a forum for readers of the book to communicate and ask questions. I only have one member so far, but not bad, considering I just published 6 days ago (publishing date says Feb 14th, 2012, but Amazon let me choose a"publishing date" and I chose Valentine's Day).
I seem to be consistently selling one book a day on each of the three sites (just published on Smashwords last night though). My main forms of promotion are Facebook, Twitter and my blog. It's tricky because there are a few really good books on the subject, but I have a unique perspective and also have a small following of dedicated readers (my blog gets around 20,000 monthly page views and I have 200 subscribers).
I worked with a professional editor, but formatted the book myself. Indie publishing is hard work! That's the bottom line. However, I already feel like a success, so it's worth it!
I am willing to answer any questions:
