New Author Seeking Tips on How To Sell More Copies

Unread post

I wrote a book, Blithe and Ashton: Episode 1. My goal is to continue and make it a series. I only published it two days ago, so I know there's still time to generate more interest, but I was looking for any ideas that might help push it in the right direction. I published it on amazon, the link is

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OWF8UIS

but I'm not sure how to get people interested enough to want to read the book. So far, all the sales have come from family, who know I just want to publish the book to help with college costs. But, even the family members who want to help and bought a copy, won't go back and comment even when I ask. Because of this the book doesn't have a rating or any comments yet.

The book is fantasy/ fairy tale and is LGBT. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Is it truly only 8 pages long? Many people sell 300 page novels for 99 cents.

I tried to make it cheaper, amazon made it 2.99 and when I went to change it I couldn't.
