Routine
After several weeks of really good sales from really good promos, last week was back to routine. Seems like my BookBub ads struggled a bit and of course one of the email blasts I tried ended up not doing anything. This week I have promos for First running on Tuesday and Thursday. It’ll be interesting to see how those go since I expect some goodness from at least the one tomorrow. Then there’s one more a week from tomorrow, after which point I’ll need to decide what to do next. I entered it in a couple more contests, but those don’t announce winners until May and June. I did enter Next Time in a contest where they announce finalists on the 18th. I don’t have high hopes for that since all I could send at the time was the manuscript in pdf format, which I now know had a couple of errors in it. That was right at the end of 2023 with the deadline on 31 Dec. It didn’t even have a cover yet and I probably should’ve saved the entry fee. Lesson learned.
