[stylist] Marketing Article, Angela Hoy, Writers Weekly

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I will say that very few self-publishers make much money from doing so, and
those who do, it's usually because they have been picked up by a traditional
publisher.

Another route to try is small independent presses. Not that it's easy to get
published through these presses, but especially for first time authors,
small indie presses can be a better option than big publishing houses.

Interesting, I would have to say that marketing my own material is going to
be my biggest challenge. I'm not at all good at self promotion, even if I
get paid for it blowing my own horn is going to be painful at best LOL. 
A friend self published a collection of her short stories and had a very
successful book launch, she was a highschool teacher so has heaps of friends
if not students, I don't know if she sold all her books or not, shall have
to ask her but she is in the same boat I am where self promotion goes. I was
just thinking perhaps the solution is for two people or a group to get
together, read each others work then promote the other persons material so
everyone gets promoted.
I guess the other thing is how much money you want to make, there's a sign
on the highway advertizing a book, I can't remember the title now but it's
funny because this is the fellows only method of promotion. A touch odd but
I don't think he's too interested in selling.
