This is a continuation of the Sales Model of an Indie Author post, and part of my musings during and about my journey to become a highly successful author. This also comes in the wake of the Fifty for Fifty celebration we ran last month. A lot of fellow indie authors asked me how I got there […]
These are some of my favourite moments from the 50 for 50 promotion we ran throughout July for Murder In Absentia! The results in publicity and sales were excellent, and the momentum seems to be carrying forward well into August now! So very happy with the overall results.
