Hi.
About me:
I've been self publishing for about 7 months and have had some success. I've finally reached the point where if I never wanted to eat or have any fun whatsoever I could probably survive from my income. I have taken a slightly different road than many on here and have only published non-fiction and also have concentrated on Europe and Asia rather than the US.
I've made some huge mistakes and also managed to Forrest Gump my way to a few successes.
One of my biggest mistakes has been being too experimental; mistaking a brick wall for a gap in the market....and jumping right at it. Ouch.
As far as successes, I have utilized corners of Amazon that are not usually targeted by others. Also painful.
Why start this thread?
Well basically for 2 reasons.
1) I keep wanting to hijack other's threads.
2) To help others
3) I would like to expand out of non-fiction and would like use this as a forum for discussing ideas/asking questions etc.
4) I will be using free promotions in order to up-sell other products, which I haven't seen discussed as a marketing tactic for self publishing here
Ok that was 4 reasons.
