Confessions of a self published author- day 7

10/10/2012

Total sales: 7 - well they're inching up but not yet 'viral'. Just read John Locke's book - How I sold a million e books in 5 months.' It's all down to intensive blogging and twittering. You've got to create large 'friendship groups' who will always buy your product. It reminds me, I must try to increase my number of friends on facebook - 6 seems a bit wanting. But John Locke's book is good. Some of it's familiar - know your market - communicate with your market and get to know what they want. But the social media insights are interesting.

Had a consultant visit today to bring me up to date on the world of social media. Head still buzzing from the encounter. Ron's an old friend who's reinvented himself as a social media consultant. We covered twitter, facebook, linkedin, blogging etc and he showed me software that can integrate the lot. After he left I spent 2 hours trying to upload my picture onto my twitter page. Doesn't bode too well for the future.

I'm going to sit down to write a business plan now and set sales targets. I'm not going to tell you what they are in case I fail abysmally.
