Thanks for this article. I think the answ...Hello,<br /><br /><br />Thanks for this article. I think the answer is, advertise everywhere, as much as humanly possible (and within reason financially). It doesn't make sense to spend a ton on advertising when you're uncertain how a book will sell. I just published my first book through Ingram Spark, so it's technically self-published, although I'm on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc. I'm 470,000th selling on Barnes & Noble though :D So obviously I'm still learning, but this is one way right here as I'm typing this to hopefully reach "the right person". A sale is a sale, but yes poetry is I believe the lowest selling genre, so my expectations weren't huge to begin with, however, I have hope! It's only been a few days since my book went on sale, we'll see! Thank you again for writing this, much obliged! It's nice to hear success and even failure stories. <br /><br /><br />MathewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549529884907679261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054268164897459544.post-21409895851844275962017-03-13T05:53:01.611-04:002017-03-13T05:53:01.611-04:00I have written a poetry book and short story book,...I have written a poetry book and short story book, I find it impossible to get an agent let alone publisher. I have three cookbooks that yield no profits. I can't get on Television though I have tried. I was in the news papers only once, I tired getting endorsement deals. If I self publish a book of poetry what would that do? I'll only be shut out again anyway and sales? Dismal?

A few years ago, I released my 1st collection, "My World, My Words: Confessions of a Cluttered Mind." Through very hard work (and with no marketing budget), I was able to sell about 300-400 copies. I have a new collection, "The Book of Jacob" coming out next month and I WILL find a way to meet my sales goal of at least 1000. I wish everyone well with their projects, just prepare to work hard to get the word out. It can be done!Mr. Groveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926888966148425032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054268164897459544.post-72074298186973551792013-07-12T16:32:29.449-04:002013-07-12T16:32:29.449-04:00Thanks for the blog post I found it helpful.

I can't even get people to download it for free as its on a kdp promo until the 15th. So far I've had about 35 downloads. It's definitely a challenge to try and get this book out there. This blog has said some helpful things for sure and I appreciate it.
