The Book Marketing Network

For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers

What's Your Biggest Challenge with Your Book?

I'd be interested to learn what authors/publishers on this network think their biggest challenges are with their book. I wonder if there's any common, pervasive challenge we all face.

My biggest challenge today is getting over one hundred views on What I Am Reading and helping E.G. Manetti sell some copies of her awesome science fiction book, Bright Star.

Wow Joleene, that is quite the long list!

how to promote my book so that people we see it and buy it,

Its always a challenge to get people to stop by and post a comment. This week's review is of Matt Shaw's Sick Bastards.

My current biggest challenge is getting all of you to stop by and help support a fellow indie and member of The Book Marketing Network. Please follow the link below and congratulate Martin Murphy on having his novella, The Carnarvon Creeper, featured on the Saturday Showcase of Indies Unlimited.
