#7 Boosting Sales – short update: Freebooksy & Red Feather Romance promos
The update for yesterday morning's negative royalties ended up being usurped by a flurry of sales that has to be directly related to the ads added to the TEE 3 ad on Facebook. It went from -$1.06 to a positive $33.22. Overall, that has given me 2x my investment...
#6 Boosting Sales – What goes up must come down… Sad, but true.
But, then, over time, the opposite should be true as well. So... yesterday's sales were, to say the least, disappointing, and today's projection? Even worse. As I mentioned before, I include all book sales under the umbrella. However, when one of the Cinderella series...
#5 Boosting Sales – If downloads are down and sales are up…
The day before yesterday there were over 400 downloads of TEE. Yesterday there were 158, yet sales went from $18 to $42 over the past three days. (I include all books since I'm only advertising TEE). So, how are readers finding the other books? Through my author name...

#2 Boosting Sales – Revamp
I had the opportunity to attend the Skye Warren Q&A. I believe there weren't many others on the call, and when she asked if anyone wanted their title evaluated, I jumped. I sent over the link for Enchanting the Earl. This is the prequel to The Earl's Error. The...
Another new release – Kara O’Neal!
Felicity’s Fortune I could hardly wait for the second book in my Gamblers and Gunslingers series – FELICITY’S FORTUNE – to release! When we visited St. Joseph, Missouri, we had to stop at Jesse James’ house. While I was walking through those rooms, I wondered about...
#1 Boosting Sales – What to do when the sales shoot up!
Well... first you have to understand what you did that made the sales shoot up. In looking at the data the other day, I noticed a few clicks on a comparable author. So I created a subset of an ad, targeting her. And, I think that is why my sales jumped from $15 to...
