Friday round-up on Saturday, because…

Friday roundup, self publisher, sharing the journey and thinking aloud…


Friday round-up on Saturday, because I went to the beach yesterday…

I’ve had a bit of a break this week, because everyone deserves a break sometimes, time to unwind and do something else…


So what has been happening in my online bookshop while I’ve been elsewhere? Well not a lot, the books have not sold themselves, a new book has not illustrated itself, or set out into the world of its own accord, in short, nothing has happened, because my books are not well known enough (yet) to for people to come looking for them.


So what is next? Well the coupon on its own doesn’t seem to have attracted attention, and as I already give free postage and packaging, there’s a limit to how much discount I can offer, so there has to be a different way…


They say that the way to sell books is by bringing out another one, I’m not sure who ‘they’ are and whether or not they know what they’re talking about, but I do need to get back to working on the next book, or the work in progress is in danger of becoming the work making no progress at all.

So with this in mind my blog will be alternating between promoting my books already published and talking about the new one, the story is written, but the pictures are taking longer than the words.

And what is more unruly than a sheep? Well a flock of sheep springs to mind… because where there’s one sheep, another one is sure to follow.

I’ve found in the past that when selling face to face, discounting book prices isn’t always a way to increase sales, but...
