T.A. Uner asked K. Bromberg:

Hello K., As a fellow author I am curious as to how you became so successful with your "Driven" series. I'm sure being an excellent writer helped. But how were you able to gain the visibility that many of us Independent Authors struggle to get? Is there a learning curve to gaining visibility? Would appreciate any information you can offer me. Respectfully, T.A. Uner

K. Bromberg Hm. Good question. It definitely didn't happen overnight. Originally with Driven, I contacted 335 blogs personally (not a blanket email) and asked them to review Driven. Then I followed up again three months later...and so on. I feel like it's 50% writing the book these days and 50% marketing. I do not have an assistant and I do not have a publicist...just me. I answer every email, every message personally and interact daily with readers in my group...that in itself is my biggest asset in itself...my readers and their word of mouth. I've paid one time for advertising...here on Goodreads when Driven was first released for a measly amount of clicks...but besides that, I do not pay for marketing. I did pay for a few blog tours along the way to help get visibility out there but that's it. So there is no rhyme or reason and a lot of time spent interacting...I'm sorry I can't give you a list of things that make it happen, but if you have more questions, feel free to ask. :-)
