How was i supposed to know..

So for a few months now I have posted a few things to see how this whole thing works. I waited and waited and started to think that something was wrong with my post. So I decided to check the settings and sure enough there it was. I was not set up so that my blog was going out to the world. If someone wanted to see my blog they actually had to put the URL into the search engine. I can't believe I know what a URL is. 

What now..

So what happens after your book is finally published? This is when the fun begins and the promotional part of being an indie starts.  No one's going to get your book out there for you. And the sad truth is; if you don't do the promotional stuff the book you worked so hard on will just sit there and you'll be lucky if you sell any books.

Lesson learned

Being a new indie author is not easy. We write the books then edit and edit again. We make our own covers and if and when we think we are ready we publish our manuscript.

We don't have the help of a New York publishing company.

Once published we do our own promotions in a sea where there are millions of books. And with thousands of erotic romance novels being published every day we have to find a way to make our book stand out. I am telling you its not easy.
