A tip for non .Com Readers
First a word to those of you whose Domain Area is not 'Amazon.com.' It will pay you to do your searches on the Amazon.com site initially because all books on this site carry the 'look inside' feature which allows you to read around 10% of a book and to download a sample. If you navigate to the Author page you will find a blog update directly from my 'Goodreads' page and a useful subscription link above it that allows you to get an email from Amazon when I release a new title each month, this works no matter where you are and will save you checking back all the time.
To those of you that have purchased, 'Charlie: Revenge and Redmption,' already, my thanks I hope your finding it an entertaining read.
The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that I am changing the 'Sultry Valley' cover, I'm afraid that a sexy woman on the cover equals sales so it had to be done, lol.
Finally, why dont I do Free promotions?
Well it takes around 3 to 4 weeks for me to write a story, then it goes to my cover designer to develop my idea's on the cover and to format the text, in order to cover those costs I need to sell around 60 books before breaking even.
So having done all that what is the value of a free promotion on Amazon? Most authors disagree on the idea, some seem to get off when their free books get into the top 100, but those gains are short lived when the promotion finishes. Some eighty per cent of freebies are never read whereas a paid for book will always be read and thats according to a poll on GR. I prefer that my books are read and enjoyed by my readers as is evidenced by my sales figures. I hope youve found this little insight interesting.
Thank you Charlie B.
