One way to reassure yourself is to subscribe to BookBub (free) and watch your category books each day and see how they do. That's what I did with mine and was satisfied that at the very least, I'd earn my $ back. It's hard to click that buy button.Consuelo Saah Baehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106845289763202756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262667444203368600.post-64246264890610367212013-03-20T11:00:12.764-07:002013-03-20T11:00:12.764-07:00I keep hearing that BookBub is the way to go.

Not all books do fantastically well but I think everyone at least earns out their $.<br />e-mail me if you want any additional info. Happy Spring!Consuelo Saah Baehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106845289763202756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262667444203368600.post-3408918982207745852013-03-20T06:34:20.191-07:002013-03-20T06:34:20.191-07:00Thanks for sharing this!

I haven't done any paid advertising yet, and while the free days still seem to be working for me, I'm fully aware it won't be the way to go forever. I did fork out a bit for a run with ebookbooster.com, which will be promoting some free days for me next week. But I'm hoping for some more avenues for promotion. This gives me food for thought!

The prices gave me pause, too. And the first few hours were slow but once it got going, it went well. I don't know if it works as well with all genres.

Yours is not the only success I've heard of but I'm still trying to justify the pricing. As for paying for advertising in general, just another tool in our arsenal for promotion. I wish you continued success.Lisa J Yardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111498397731973454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262667444203368600.post-8139522891032550742013-03-19T15:08:19.293-07:002013-03-19T15:08:19.293-07:00Hi, Ruth,
