Today marks one year since I had my book launch in my hometown, today marks 365 days since I ‘kicked off’ my career. During those 12 months, I have had highs and lows, weeks of no sales and bursts of books bought. I went to a high school, I went to a market place, I went to a university, a contest in Campbelltown. I bought business cards, and lately a banner.
I got my self on the radio, I had an interview with a university student, I even had my book in the local magazine.
I released three books in the first year, all on Amazon and iTunes and the first two on Lulu. I probably spent more than I earned so far with marketing and promotional campaigns. I tried a Christmas Special for book three, I tried a Winter Special and a Christmas in July special.
During that year I edited the fourth book as well as the the two before that. I am up to Chapter 8 of the fifth book in terms of writing the draft.
