Hi Everyone,
Sorry, I've been a little quiet lately. The main reason behind my silence has been that I've buried myself in (attempts at) marketing recently, trying to learn the arcane intricacies of selling more books. To that end, I've been checking out a few of Dale L Roberts' books (@selfpubwithdale) and found some really useful insights into keywords, marketing and reviews. I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you're involved in self publishing. I also took the plunge recently and purchased the Publisher Rocket Software (publisherrocket.com). This software is really helping me to discover what people actually search on Amazon and will hopefully help me make my books more discoverable on the big A and lead to more sales in the future. You can also use Publisher Rocket to generate tons of terms for your Amazon Ads, if you're running them. I've already updated my keywords as a result of the info I've gleaned from Publisher Rocket so far and will let you all know how things go! I'm also currently running a Kindle Countdown offer in the UK on my first book, Central Locking (51% Off!) so if the idea of someone's self drive car going haywire and kidnapping them sounds interesting to you, maybe check it out at www.amazon.co.uk/Central-Locking-D-T-Wilby-ebook/dp/B00NYDT7G8/ One thing hasn't changed though, marketing is still a hellish dirge! In other news, edits for my Early Adopters Anthology, Early Adopters: Cycle One are still ongoing, with three stories done and dusted. The collection is meant to be fully drafted, but I may still try and sneak one more story in before publication. My now more realistic predictions for release are 'sometime this year' - we'll see how that goes! I also recently wrote a space based sci-fi story to feature on the sci-fi blog iheartscifi.com. You can read Get Red Zedd's Head over there at iheartscifi.com/get-red-zedds-head-by-d-t-wilby/ and while you're over there, definitely check out Seth's awesome blog for all things sci-fi! Until next time - stay safe everyone D.T.
