I hadn't a clue how well my book was going to sell, so I set myself a target of 50 books for the next twelve months. Eight months on I've sold 29 copies in just one month, and the month isn't even over yet! I've almost trebled my target in less than the year so I wish every success to you too and I'm sure it will happen. You have just got to give it time, that's all.LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-9811204536645228832011-12-28T12:09:11.347-08:002011-12-28T12:09:11.347-08:00Good point, Velvet.

But luckily those situations do not happen very often.LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-4343369730383096142011-12-28T12:03:54.843-08:002011-12-28T12:03:54.843-08:00I can relate, especially since I only just started...I can relate, especially since I only just started and don't many sales and no reviews. I just have to keep plugging away and hope it will pay off soon. I work from home for my "regular" job, so I'm used to doing everything virtually anyway.Brad Murgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513148650073617139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-14357250826330247582011-12-28T09:34:16.793-08:002011-12-28T09:34:16.793-08:00I totally get what you are saying.

That is why it means so much to me to get reviews and feedback on my books from readers, that way I know that SOMEONE out there is reading what I'm writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
