Going 'indie' wasn’t an easy decision for me. But
at least I know everything depends on me.
And by 'everything',
I mean marketing and sales promotions.
Being signed by the small press in
the past I had a false feeling that the majority of this work would be done by
them. After all I did sign my author's rights to them.
Don't get me wrong, I knew I'd have
to promote myself through social media a lot and I did, but I was wrong to
think they'd actually put some work into marketing/sales promotion. Well, we
learn as we go, right?
Although I worked in sales for a
quite a number of years and was successful in the field, I had never been asked
to promote 'me' or my work.
When it comes to that I tell the
truth - like it is - about me.
Sometimes I rather keep my
accomplishments for myself than to blow my own horn. To be honest, I had failed
quite a number of job interviews just because of that fact. Crazy, right? But
that's who I am.
And now I'm on a crossroad. I can
stay this way - I know I can - or I can overcome myself and try to do my best
to reach my goal I set for myself a few months ago.
By exploring the field of
marketing and possibilities that are out there, I came across Thunderclap. How
does it work? Basically:
“Thunderclap amplifies your message with the power of the
crowd.”
At least that’s what is written on their homepage.
So here it goes. This is the link
to my Thunderclap campaign.
I'd really appreciate if you could
join in - helping me spreading the word about a publication date of my novel.
It's simple to join in – just a click or two, nothing more and on 20th June 2016 they'll
send out on your behalf my message. All I need to do is – get your support - a
support of at least 100 people.
Thank you.
