My Paid Online Promo Results and Question of the Month

Hi everyone, as promised, here are the results for five paid promos I did during November, pricing Salem’s Daughters at $0.99 Two worked very well, one was okay and two flopped. 
What Worked BookSends November 4th $25.00 
I made my money back with a little left over, and the spike in the Amazon rating added much value to the promo. Salem’s Daughters soared to about 3,500 and almost hit number one in the Witches and Wizards sub-genre with a sustained top 10,000 ranking for a week....

IWSG, Breakthrough Box Set, Paranormal Vs. the Supernatural, and New Promotional Stuff

IWSG It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for Insecure Writers Support Group. This week’s co-hosts are Sandra Hoover, Mark Koopmans, Doreen McGettigan, Megan Morgan, and Melodie Campbell. When you’re out and about today, take a few moments and stop by to say hello to these fine folks. 
My concern this month is the changing marketing methods writers need to successfully promote their works. What worked last time may not work at all next time around.

Bad Girls of the Bible, BookSends Results, Cold War Space and Spy Kitties, Harley Quinn and More!

Monday I’m visiting C. Lee McKenzie at The Write Game. The topic is a fun one: Bad Girls of the Bible. 
Book Promos I mentioned last week I did a paid promo with BookSends. I rarely do this. Never really needed to in the past as I had my books in Borders Books and Barnes and Nobles and did books signings and social networking and such. Free is good! 
But now Borders Books is gone and Barnes and Nobles acts like that girl who promised to go to the prom with me but at the last minute ch...

Question of the Month, Hilary Melton-Butcher, Sir Isaac Newton, and More!

Question of the Month Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert? I’m more of an introvert. I can be loud if I want to be, just not all the time. I think being introverted helps writers as they are able to spend more time researching and writing than looking for people to strike up a conversation with.
