#IWSG: Sales / Wattpad Wednesday: Reborn Chapter 12 / Realms Faire

IWSG was created by the awesome Captain Ninja Alex J. Cavanaugh. To visit the other participants, click here.

Sales. It's one thing we're most interested about but usually never hear about when it comes to authors. I must be honest. I wish sales were better, but doesn't everyone? Those months where you sell ten copies or less across all platforms kinda suck and there are way too many of those type of months.

The good thing about self-publishing is I do have a tiny bit of control of sales in the form on pricing. I decide the price. Best of all, I can decide on when to put titles on sale.

For the first time ever, the ebook of Reborn is now $0.99, a savings of $2.00. Purchase at  Amazon / Google Play / iTunes / Kobo / Nook / OmniLit / Smashwords.

And here are two pre-made tweets you can use, if you'd like to tweet the sale:

You can also get People of Foxwick and Their Neighbors on pre-order for $0.99, a savings of $3.00. Pre-order your copy at Amazon / Google Play / iTunes / Kobo / Nook / OmniLit / Smashwords.

Will lowering the price help sell the book?

So far it is, but I recommend getting some ads to help the sale along. Ereader News Today ran an ad I purchased for Reborn on Monday, and I got some nice results and on some bestseller lists.

By the way, Milo James Fowler hosted me on his blog last week. The topic was Finding Balance, and I have some tips on how I find balance between life, a day job, and being a writer. You can read the post here.

Not sure if Reborn is for you? Then read it on Wattpad. We're up to Chapter Twelve over there, and if you'd like to start from the beginning, click here.

Next week is the Realms Faire. There will be no Book Chat this month, and I'll be posting every day from November 10-14. Get your thinking caps on and read up on mythological creatures. Riddle Me This starts on Monday.
