A liitle frustated.

I know that this is my first book but, this experience has only frustrated me. My publisher does NOTHING to market my book, and I felt decieved by them when i looked at the contract. they made it sound like they helped with marketing. I am Very low on funds to market my book and with books sales low (because I have nothing to market it with) I feel I have wasted my time.
I AM AN AUTHOR/WRITER NOT A SALESMAN!!!!!!!

I would like to connect with you there also. I am trying to make more friends and fans so that I can spread awareness for breast cancer during pregnancy. I was diagnosed Stage 3 in the 5th month of my pregnancy in May. My status updates on Facebook and LinkedIn are usually about my fight.

At 9:06am on February 21, 2009, Lynn Pinder said…: Peace Dawn. Stay encouraged. Publish America is a company used by individuals who want to self-publish their books. It is unfortunate that they didn't take the time to explain to you that as a self-published author you are responsible for all of your marketing. I, too, chose to self-publish my book but I used a different Print-On-Demand (POD) publisher than you. There are definite pros and cons when self-publishing.

In the meantime, join lots of social marketing sites like this one and post information about your book. Also, consider researching elementary schools or daycares in your area so that you can do targeted sales to them. You should start first by calling to introduce yourself and speaking with the Director/Principal or person in charge of making book purchases. Then, follow up with an email or snail mail with a flyer of your book and a description of the educational value it will bring to the children. You might call 100 schools or daycares and only get one response. However, that one response might net you a sale of multiple book orders.
