I don't know how, but I managed to write 2k words today, going back and forth from doing internet research on ebook marketing. Guess these characters are really starting to talk to me.
Congrats on the Amazon review.
I have a high-profile ebook author link to me on a social media platform. I am very exited about this and wonder if it would be wrong of me to contact them and ask them about marketing? I'm sure they get bombarded with questions just like it every day...
You've been doing great by the way!
I don't know about creating perma-free on my first novel, but I'm thinking of creating a Prequel novella and using it to promote the novel. I admit a lot of my growth will come from no longer being lazy.
How often does Smashwords pay, and what's their royalty cut? I'm pretty used to monthly Kindle payments now.
it will cost $25 to publish Aps on the play store (one time Fee)Got you. I might do that just to get it permafree on Nook and Kindle. How about Google Play?
I think they pay quarterly. Don't recall their cut, but I think it's comparable to one of the Amazon options. I'm thinking either 40% or 65%. Sorry, I know that's a large range. You can find it on their FAQs.How often does Smashwords pay, and what's their royalty cut? I'm pretty used to monthly Kindle payments now.
I agree with Lauren. I had a fairly high-profile author approach me for a review swap, and it ended up being an excellent opportunity for me. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Most authors are only human, after all.Thank you!

They already linked to you without your asking, so if you were to thank them and strike a conversation, there's potential in this. If the conversation goes nowhere, take a break and offer to invest in mentorship from them. No harm in that.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Please check out Rob Eagar's Sell Your Book like Wildfire. He has dope information on book marketing.
Just bought it. I watched the youtube vid he made... looked good. Thanks Lauryn!
You have amazing drive!
Cant wait to read your Confessions novel...
Make that seven. Just one-clicked it, and I'll read it in turn. Catching up, but still lots to go. My reading has been seriously impacted by my writing.I've made 6 sales on Amazon

Way to go! You do indeed have great momentum going. I downloaded about ten books that I had already purchased to my Kindle today, yours among them. Hope to catch up over this week off, though I'll have my family here so I doubt I'll get to all of them. Making progress, anyway.Update:
*Have sold 17 books on Amazon since uploading my first book last week.
*Book two, Fallen from Grace, is published and live.
*3k words into the next book in the series, Truth in Legends.
*In following the lead from an author I follow on Twitter, I have created a pinterest account and am making boards to pin images for inspiration for my current projects. http://www.pinterest.com/leighton1238/truth-in-legends/ It also is a cool way for readers to see what might be coming up for the next book!
