I have been furiously writing away but <br />I had been suffering a bit of style identity angst. Romance does not allow for too much ribald humour and I am constantly having to staunch the raunch. Staying on message can be tough. As for the RG2E experiment, I can report that the results were relatively modest. Even red hot chicks find it hard to give it away it seems.Emma Calinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661631701340292529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-24234932901469493472012-10-01T11:15:14.937+02:002012-10-01T11:15:14.937+02:00Emma, I love your writing...Please don't waste...Emma, I love your writing...Please don't waste your energy on marketing! All I want is another book from you! Yes, I know, I should be a fine one telling someone "don't waste time on book promotion" when I myself do it! I just did a Twitter campaing lasting 24 hours round the clock saying "the price of my book will DOUBLE in 24 hours...in 23 hours...in 22 hours...etc", you get the idea: one tweet every hour on the hour.<br /><br />Did it work? Frankly, no. I got a couple of sales, a boost in the rankings that quickly evaporated. And it's left me totally convinced that Twitter does NOT work to sell books. Neither do free promotions. People don't read what they've gotten for free, you must make them PAY for it!<br /><br />The only way to make them pay is the well-tried system of yore: produce more books and make sure they're good! That's what I decided...yes, I know, just did that Twitter campaign but I promise: never again!Claude Forthommehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871790739257823515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-45762399954055110412012-09-29T19:12:39.150+02:002012-09-29T19:12:39.150+02:00You are the most tongue in cheek person I know, an...You are the most tongue in cheek person I know, and I adore tongue in cheek. There is no metaphor intended here for anyone beginning a snicker. Thank god for your fresh, original and endless sense of humor.

It seems to work.Caleb Pirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923601462922885987noreply@blogger.com
