Tiny but growing daily

As a writer who is going the indie route, it is easy to feel lost and under appreciated when you look at the sales reports on your book sales. But you have to look at it another way. For every person that has decided to purchase your book, they might tell another reader friend about it and yes, slowly though it may go, you build a following. But the bonus is those are people who didn't know you, weren't friends who were doing you a favor by purchasing your book, but honest to goodness other people who decided to take a chance on a writer whose last name wasn't King, Patterson, etc. And every time someone new buys your book, they have validated your option to put words on the page as a storyteller. It would be nice to see reviews from every person who reads your books but realistically, look at it this way, if the millions of readers for say "King" put a review up on Amazon, it would blow out the server. So take a small bit of pride in the reviews you do receive, good and bad, and keep writing because you are tiny (today) but growing daily. Peace

the piece you have to do yourself

I like the system so far. I have read that I must Squidoo, Twitter, Facebook all for social media. Or blog, hub, digg, etc. I have to write articles and get them published. This is all great content information but no one is telling you how to write these great articles that people will want to read. Are you supposed to only write about your niche? Can you branch out and write about the other things you feel like you're at expert with knowledge on? I know it's difficult. I want to point you to a ebook by "Bob Bly" one of the most successful writers out there. Not because I know him or anything, but I've read his books (the real ones from a library or bookstore) and they have been useful to me over the years. The Super Productive Writer
