Just curious because I know each of us write for different reasons. If you self published a book that isn't doing as well as it could be, why is that?
What could you do to make it better?

I'm totally guilty of not promoting. I write for pleasure, and don't feel the need to put my book out there. Besides, I hate walking into a shop and being pounced on by the salesperson, so I tend not to force myself on others the same way. I only mention a release, then it disappears into the most remote corners of Amazon. Could I improve things? Most probably, but at this stage, I'd rather focus on writing than selling, and unfortunately, time is not available in large amounts (and I tend to do a fair amount of procrastinating).
Refreshingly honest answer. As a marketer who's in the midst of writing my first book, I'm wondering if there's a niche out there for publicizing self pubbed books for fellow authors
