Heyyyyy
Long time no see? Actually, hell no, because I’m pretty sure I’ve been posting three times every day for like maybe a month now? You tired of me yet?
I’m tired of me lol, but I’ll keep going because I want this book to have a chance.
So far I’ve had a few conversations with readers and I’ve gotten:
“I’m so impressed”
“I’m obsessed”
“Can’t put the book down.”
I’m not trying to get too far ahead of myself, but I’m feeling really good right now hahaha.
I even have two reviews on Amazon! And one on my website! This is really, really cool—something I’ve never experienced before. People are reading something I wrote and liking it! Maybe I shouldn’t be speaking so quickly though; most of those comments are before they finish it… soooo here’s to hoping they like the ending 🤷♀️
Instagram and Facebook reels have been my biggest buyers. I can literally see that most of the buyers are clicking on those links to buy my book, which is seriously awesome and a clear indicator that I have to continue to be annoying on Instagram and Facebook. Which brings me back to my ex-friend trauma.
Bro. Honestly, that girl did damage on me and, like I’ve said before, she lives rent-free in my brain. I think it’s because I did love her like a sister. But then again, I think it might have been the situation where it was frenemies and I worked overtime to try and please her. And why did I do that? No idea. Omg this is gonna go into a rant. Anyways, if I did anything that was deemed in her eyes annoying, I’d fucking hear it. She’d complain about everything, and she would say, “Why are you posting? It’s so annoying on my feed.” What I should have said back then was, “Unfriend me then.” But I’m pretty sure I did, and she actually unfollowed or whatever. I’m so worried about those small things, probably because this girl drilled it into me that I’m too much or not enough. Friends, I guess, can sometimes do more damage than your relationship. I definitely have a top three worst people. And honestly, she’s up there. Which place she takes, it depends on the day.
Enough about her. Back to: how the fuck am I gonna keep selling this book?
Doing fun little videos is great, but I need to look into paid advertisements. I’ve also been adding a ton of Facebook groups and posting the hell out of there too. All groups are in my niche of dark romance, paranormal, murder mystery, horror even. Because yes, I would say that some of my chapters are somewhat horror. If you disagree, let me know in the comments. Otherwise, I’ve also been making author friends, promoting each other, and talking about each other’s books, which I think will only make me a better writer. It’s also cool that I’m making author friends. I’m good at making friends, but sometimes I’m so awkward.
Revenue. Revenue has been great—or as great as it should be for a debut author who hasn’t paid for any advertisements yet. Purchases have been maybe… two every other day. I LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE, wrapping up my book and shipping it off. It literally makes my whole day. However, it’s a love/hate because Amazon is the top buyer place for books, and I NEED reviews. So I mean, if you could buy from me and then review on Amazon, B&N, and Goodreads… well then, that would be great lol. But I also know that’s a lot to ask.
Oh, also I’m watching twilight while I write this. My daughter is sleeping and this is pretty fanfuckingtastic.
