The Grand Experiment

Let’s see if I can sell 1,000 copies of The Last Prospector.

 

Really, from here 1,000 seems like an unattainable number.  To be fair, I don’t promote all that much.  I waste my valuable Twitter time actually talking to people, and not tweeting ads.

With a second book coming, one would think I’d throw all my energy into the new basket.  But Prospector is the first in a series.  He’s my lynch pin, the ground floor from which all else springs.  If I can get 1,000 people to read book one, there will be 1,000 new book series addicts on the market.

Plus, I have a mild form of OCD.  First things first.

Recently, the kind folks at Fiction Frenzy TV allowed me into their clubhouse.  FFTV is a show on YouTube featuring videos from indie authors and those who support us.  Last week, I saw this interview with Tim Grahl, founder of Out:think and became inspired.

 

I do not purchase self help or how to books as a rule.  I bought Your First 1,000 Copies before the second half of the interview.

Tim has a system, many people used it and found it good.  Since I’m not getting anywhere under my own tutelage, it’s time to try something new.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be reporting my efforts and any tangible progress.  I’m going to follow the book exactly and not edit according to any perceived inadequacies.

This is another leap of faith.  I’m willing to put in the work to make that jump.

But first things first.  Can’t build a house without a strong foundation.  I’m going to finish the book today.  Tomorrow, we leap!
