Hi folks! Just got approved to join today. I also just published my first self-pub novel, m/m erotica/romance in an urban fantasyish setting, last week. So far it hasn't sold much, but then I'm a complete unknown; I figure it'll take awhile to build up an audience and I'm already working on my second book with that in mind.
My question is this: what can I do to build up momentum? I'm thinking now about the following:
-Doing a price drop on the first book simultaneous with the release of the second (they're standalones), to encourage people to buy both,
-Buying an ad on Smartbitches or somewhere -- not sure how many m/m readers follow that site, though, or whether it's worth the cost,
-Doing a price drop now on the first book, since maybe $3.99 is too much for a book by an unknown author. To maybe $1.99?
Any opinions? I welcome advice here!
