I too went thru lulu, it's very hard to get out on the media to sell my books and many, many long hours reading and buying E-books to read my self. and spending time time on the computer. As I have a full time job. I do all this after hours. I can say I've wasted more money than anyone here on advertising.....
Since I work at a school thought I would run an ad at our Local Movie theater. 14 screens 5 times a day-Cool,
Cost $1,500 a month, 3 month minimum. and this was 50% off since I'm helping out 3 local schools. made just 2-sales. Kids at my school thought it was cool to see me on a big screen 8 feet tall and dressed up with my books. I tried Google Pay per click at $1.25 a click, gave me #1 page. wouldn't you know it? my two children thought they would help me out at school and the library by clicking on them non-stop.
As I told them I wanted more web site hits, It's funny now. I should have told them don't touch Google search site. I'm learning real fast, and I learned a lot after 3 years. Do you belong to myspace or any other net working sites? Are you planning on having a web site?
If yes, I might be able to help a little.

I will have to pay to receive an ISBN but until then I am just getting my book out there and trying to get it noticed. Good luck and don't give up!
