Hello again readers!
Alright, probably would help If I actually updated you guys on whats going on. As of this morning we hit 38 orders, and 24 readers. Astounding numbers considering I’m a first time author! I’m so proud of my book and how far it has come. It’s no where near being done, but I’m just getting started!
I will be reaching out to more and more active authors on Inkshares to spread the word of my baby. Hopefully through persistence and determination we can make Aellor Prophecies go all the way!
This week is the fourth week of the contest and will be marking the end of the first month. I’m well on track to have over 40 preorders!
Keep pushing friends! This was the first step, this was the proof I needed that I can make this work, and work it shall!
From now on I’ll be releasing new chapters every sunday, I already have four saved up, so by the end of the competition, I hope to have a total of ten chapters! All for your viewing pleasure. Any and all advice and critique is appreciated. Please feel free to share the chapters to others as well! Its easy to get people to look at a site, but its hard to get anyone to buy with out having something to back.
Thanks again -Joseph
First, FIX THE TAGGING BUTTON.
Ive had to type this comment NINE times and many others because Im trying to tag someone, and I mess up so i have to backspace, but whats this?! it doesnt delete, it sends me back to the forum page. Thats a problem.
second, MAKE IT EASIER TO GET TO THE FORUMS.
Not everyone knows how to work a computer as well as the forum users, evidenced by the older authors on here. Earlier today someone , who entered into the G&S contest commented about how he just now found the forums. This is a HUGE problem. I should be able to see the option to get to the forums ANYWHERE on the site WITHOUT going through a cluttered UI
third and finally: Please, for the love of god, get rid of some of those forum categories. Ask Inkshares, Inkshares news, Inkshares books... NONE ARE NEEDED. I know it sounds like Im angry its just annoying and unnecessary, especially since the traffic on the forums is near bubkis. General, Authors, and Support are the only three categories you need. For now at least, maybe later you can add Readers and News. But for now stick with just the three.
@Joseph Terzieva @A.C. Weston hope either of you see this and can relay my suggestions to the head honchos
