@Amanda Orneck Here's my take on it; find your niche. Jamison had tremendous success going to cons and leveraging his in-person presence. Brian Guthrie had similar success by pushing his massive Facebook following and a knack for communicating online. Like Jamison says; it takes a specific personality to do what he did and that can be said of any kind of successful endeavour. You might not have it in you to do what he did, or what Brian did, but you may very well have something completely different yet equally as potentially successful. Look to your strength and find out how to use them to find new readers. 

Twitter is a marketing black hole. If you write (and you do) and and tweet about writing using writing-related hashtags (and I’m assuming that you do), then most of your followers will be fellow writers, not readers. Basically, marketing on Twitter is selling to other authors who are only there to sell to you.

I’m in the same position that you are. So far, the vast majority of what I’ve sold (only 17 copies) has been from personal connections...friends, direct emails via the project panel, etc... .

I’ve added some fan art to my page to spiffy it up a bit and am working on a simple book promo video, but there’s still the issue of driving eyeball traffic to the page in the first place...

*cough*

Agreed. Thank you. This chapter is still in the early stages. Any advice, critique is more than welcome!

Gotta join the choir of cover praise - it kills, man. 

Tabi, Congratulations for hitting the goal and going to print. Can’t wait to read it.
