This is definitely an area that I am continuing to work through and on myself!! I love the idea of your friend offering a free e-book to people to get her name out! I definitely thought about doing that and have friends who have done that! It is a great thought and idea and seems to have worked well for your friend! :) hahaha! I laughed out loud about the thought of marrying into a family that owns a publishing company... hahaha! YES!! That is what we need to do! :) <br /><br />Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!

That can be a good way to get your name 'out there' although it's obviously not financially lucrative at all. She's up to nearly 700 downloads of that book, last I heard, which is exciting as a brand-new author.<br />The marketing part of writing--that's really hard. I always said I'd love to just do something really practical like marry into a family that owned their own publishing company. hahaha...Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065602349484224616.post-80537156011330145042015-07-21T08:51:10.926-07:002015-07-21T08:51:10.926-07:00This is so good!

I don't know if I will ever have another book. I do have two anthologies that I edited. I was paid a straight project pay. Now, I like the sound of going back to pay for hire for books. I made $1,500 for each book.

I especially really benefited from hearing number 6, because as someone who has never published a book before, I had very little idea of what constitutes 'success' in the industry.
