Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Did you do the submission to Amazon yourself, or hire someone else to do it? If yourself, did you notice the Categories section on the first page? You have to supply them, it isn't automatic. If you hired someone else, they should have asked you in what categories you wanted to place it. But no...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I just told my husband I was going to write Erotica, and I told him I'd prefer he didn't read it, for exactly the reasons you mentioned--and I told him the reasons. We have a long-established trusting relationship, so that worked for me. Don't know if it would work for someone you refer to as a...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!This was my thinking when I made the first book in my series free just a week before publishing the third in the series. However, it's now an issue, since I decided to publish elsewhere also. Now the beginning of the series is missing from B&N and anywhere Smashwords 'ships' it to. Maybe my OCD...- COSenior

GOLD!You can always outsource the 'extra stuff'. Might not even cost much if you have friends that would be your street team for a while.- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Speaking with my reader hat on now. Before I started reading erotica for ahem, research purposes, I read mostly crime, mystery, legal thrillers. I didn't mind the romantic thing in there, but felt tricked if that was the center of the story. Just my preference, understand. Virtually all of those...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!The series will end with the fourth book. Then I'm going to bundle them and price the bundle at $2.99. I'm still thinking about whether to unpublish the pieces after I publish the bundle. I'm just reporting my experiences, here. Please don't anyone take anything I say as expert opinion. Just...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I'm going to have to say mixed results. Please don't everyone holler 'told you so' at once. :sigh: So, 874 people downloaded the book. Two more people (besides my friend who reviewed it the day it came out) reviewed it, and gave it 5 stars. There were three sales of my other titles (I might as...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Thanks for the vote of confidence, kind sir. I'll go with my research on pricing, since my genre and yours are completely different. Yes, I intend to publish soon on B&N, but there are only so many hours in the day, and I spend most of them writing. All in good time. As for an exchange of books...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I agree that people buying stuff on fiverr are a different breed, but I don't think the royalty figure you quoted is correct. If I price at 2.99 to 9.99, I get 70%. Assuming anyone buys, which before now, they haven't. But people are beginning to buy the other books now that they have had a...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I would never dream of contradicting anyone's experience, much less the visionary who brought us all together and inspired so many to just get out there and do it! My stories were all around 6000 words or under, 15-18 pages, and I myself wouldn't pay more than 99 cents for a story of that...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Attempting to begin to become an author I can relate to that feeling, because it still creeps up on me sometimes. I've got three very short stories up on Kindle now, and they aren't going to make me thousands or even hundreds any time soon. But while I read books about crafting stories, how to...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I think I can confirm that Amazon pushes new books. I have published three short stories in the Erotica genre, and purchased the first copy of each myself to generate the sales ranking. Each of them started off in the 50,000 or so range, and quickly dropped off. The competition in that genre is...- COSenior

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!I've been lurking on this thread for a while, feeling that as a complete novice in the fiction category, I had nothing to add but plenty to learn. I don't know what the right answer is to the body part question, but I am a female, and I'm naming them. Turns me on, so I figure it turns on some...- COSenior
