Hmmm . . . this going from eBook to
the NY Times Bestseller list is going to be a little harder than I thought.
After a week on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and CreateSpace I’ve
sold twenty-one copies of The Floating
Man.
But I’m not worried. Besides living
in my own little fantasy world, I have my own marketing plan. It consists of
two words.
Start Small!
Well, I think I’m right on track in
that regard.
And today, I expand my little
universe and send an email to the members of the writer’s group that I belong
to — all eighty members. If you are a believer in multi-level marketing, I
think you know what this means: if each of the members spreads the word to ten
of their friends, were talking eight hundred people. And if they spread it to
ten of their friends, that’s eight thousand more. And on and on.
In fact, if all goes well, within a
month I should have reached over a billion people. And if only ten percent of
them buy my book, that means sales of over one hundred million. Of which, I
should rake in a little over $17, 536.00
And if this multi-level marketing
thing doesn’t work out, there is still my friend Biff.
I have to buy him a Kindle though.
