on your investment?

It a hugely competitive world out there in
publishing and the choices have increased ten-fold yet the sales don’t seem to
be following.

As most of you know, I started a group over a year
ago called the Authors’ Billboard
and we also have a newsletter that’s open to guest author’s submissions.

I’ve tried so many places lately – spent way too
much money – and have been disappointed. Which isn’t to say my offer won’t disappoint
too. Let’s face it – some books are more popular than others. I’ve had some
authors return many times and others who obviously weren’t satisfied because
they didn’t come back.

But we’ve kept our price low (just enough to pay our
assistant who creates each newsletter). At least then, you won’t feel you’ve
been taken for a huge amount.

**Our newsletter is released late Thursday night and
every week we have a Facebook post about the newsletter and we send out tweets also. With
over 30 members in our group, many of who will share and retweet, we have quite
a reach.

**As you can see, we have spots for a new a release;
it’s more of an exposure kind of promotion because we don’t expect authors to
place a new book in a sale category. We don’t show the price but the links to
the books are there in case the readers want to follow up and buy them.

Thanks for all that you do!
I'm a little confused. You quote a price of $5.00 on this page, but on the book submission page it reads $15.00.
Check that– I'm a LOT confused. Here it reads that the newsletter is sent out every Friday, but on the submission form it reads monthly. Help! 🙂
Hi Kim,
Thanks so much for letting me know about the mistake. I had added an old form here on the guest submission rather than the one that's actually showing on our website. I've made the change now. I don't know why these crazy things always happen to me… but they do LOL! I checked the first link to the website and then didn't read clearly the second link to the submission form.
Thanks again,
Hugs,
Mimi
Thanks Mimi!
Sounds good!
Great site, Mimi!
