Sales in the Third Month

My week is about to get better. Officially at 10:45 am Saturday(tomorrow) I start my week vacation. Hoping to get enough sleep that I will have a writing boon and get loads of work done. An update for those who may or may not be beginners in the world of the author; sales: so far for the month of June, Amazon 0, B&N 2. Decided since I wasn't selling anything anyway that I should up my price. Have been told I should anyway. (good or bad strategy, only time will tell) I looked through the different ebook prices and decided to settle on $3.41. Don't have a clue why I chose that number. I am hoping something will change soon. As a writer, I do desire that people read my book. I also want them to enjoy them. Hopefully feedback will follow soon, have only seen one comment and I am happy to say it was a five star. I am writing this for those who are looking, as I have done, for that magic number of when sales will take off. For me, the first few months were okay, but they trickled to drips in the third month. I've read a couple of other authors that the fourth month was their take off. Can only wait and see, but I will let you know. This is what I am doing to promote: twitter, facebook, goodreads, scribd, and book blogs. Also looking for individuals to read and leave reviews. Do have one set up but at the moment, I am third in line.

Patience. God has them and since there is nothing for me to do but wait and work by promoting the best I can, I must have them too. I must trust that all is in good time. That being said, I also must be a good writer which I hope I am. And that being said, I can't help to be a little disappointed that people are not reading my beloved story. But again, all in good time. So for those of you searching and dealing with any disappointments or small let downs, know you are not alone. There are several of us all in the boat with you. Too bad we can't all be instant winners. Then again, where would the lesson be in that. How strong is your faith in yourself to keep pushing and striving for better. Life is full of lessons, the words 'that being said' and 'there again'  and the knowledge that all does happen in good time. So keep pushing yourself. I will.
