That sounds like the perfect way to celebrate. As long as we can have a scoop of ice cream too :)

[Carole]

[Christine]

Someone has to add you to the list; you can't add your own book. Anyone can add to those lists though. Which one was it?

[Carole]

Thanks Christine.

Ahhh I see. I'm not sure I understand the point in someone else having to do it. But I never was very good at rules.

Well there's a Fiction/Erotica list and Fiction/Science Fiction for a start.

If anyone can do it how do you do it? I could get my husband to mess around with it if anyone can do it.

Then again if you need a certain number of reviews first I'm stuffed. I haven't looked closely at others. What a weird system.

[Groovy]

Congratulations, Carole!!! FORBES magazine? That's big time. I'm sure Oprah's next:)

[Kay]

I have another good thing to add- R.L made a trailer for me! Thank you so much :D https://vimeo.com/203546301

[Groovy]

I saw the trailer. She did a good job.

[Kay]

It's awesome!

[Kay]

She's done such a good job with the mass amounts of awkward visuals my story contains! Haha :D

Great trailer! I downloaded your book a while back and haven't had a chance to read it yet. It is definately next on my list now!

No, it's easy. You just vote for a book and then it gets added. Trouble is, it needs a high amount of votes to make it to the top of lists.

[Carole]

Alexis, is your book published yet?

[Alexis]

Carole wrote: "Alexis, is your book published yet?"

Mijn excuses, ik spreek geen Engels. :) :p

[Carole]

Ik begrijp het Dutch!

Carole wrote: "Ik begrijp het Dutch!"

LOL. I'm taking a break from the internet and will be polishing the book this weekend. Phew, nervewrecking lol.

Oh would you look at the time? I really should go get some sleep.

[Carole]

I'm waiting impatiently. I had my hair dyed today, but I'm still fifty shades of gray.

[Amy]

(I dyed mine colour of blood clot)

[Carole]

haha. I like it. I used to wear blot clot when I was young, oh about 30 years ago. It used to turn orange in the sun.

[Amy]

It went on looking like blood clot and now looks like dried blood. Fetching. Actually not too bad. I just prefer purple.

[Carole]

hahahah- My granddaughter would love purple hair. Or as she calls it poiple.

[Carole]

You could do it and then take your photo in black and white.

Forbes did a second article on Navigating Indieworld- which should drive traffic to our new website!!!

https://www.forbes.com/sites/robinsea...

[Groovy]

Yes!!!!

[Carole]

Share!! Share!!! Share!!

[Groovy]

Shared on my FB page...

[Carole]

Thanks Groovy!!

[Carole]

Something good happened to us all today.
Forbes has linked our Navigating Indieworld article to our new Navigating Indieworld website- so that means whoever follows through with the links may end up seeing your books if you put on the website!!! Good luck!! Use this opportunity to promote the article on all social media.

[R.L.]

Woop woop!!!!!! How amazing!

[Carole]

Networking!! We call it networking.

[Carole]

Nobody could get annoyed at you, Alex.

[Carole]

I got a shout out from Bookworks. https://www.bookworks.com/2017/02/ind...

They are full of useful articles. You should join and take advantage of the information they share.

One of my best author friends, someone that has gone above and beyond with help & advice, kindly went out of her way (once again) to point me back in the right direction. She knows who she is (batman) & along with her (robin) I would still be banging my head against a wall. I won't name these two lovely ladies for fear of giving their ego's too much of a swell ;-)

Self-promotion and social media are always easy to push aside and often gets forgotten when you're busy getting paid for other things immediately.

Don't forget social media and since I joined this group with 4 members the mods have gone above and beyond to provide a helpful and friendly place to help each other out.

Thanks to you all, that's my good thing that has happened today.

Thanks, Carole & Julie (I lied about not naming you) I can do that, I'm writing this particular story!

[Amy]

I sold a book (dances round the room) thank you to whoever bought it it's bound to be someone on here.

(more dancing)

[Amy]

Thanks Alex. Each sale seems like a major achievement.

[Erica]

Congrats Amy!

[Carole]
