Sold one copy since Jan 23rd. Not looking good. The task for this week is to create a publicity release. My understanding is that this is a "News Flash" for people who make news flashes so they don't have to work as hard making a news flash about your "News Flash." You want to make it as easy as possible for someone to pass on your vital info in a one to many situation.
I am networking to try and get some help on my "News Flash." I need my "News Flash" to
1) Submit to Midwest Book Review in hopes of scoring a review
2) Neatly package with promotional copies of my book to media outlets
In terms of media outlets, The Knot is my most desired national media target. I believe I have a shot with them giving the subject matter, and they featured portions of the book when I posted them as blog entries there a long while back. Locally, Cincinnati Weddings magazine is HQ'ed in my building and it appears like a good match that I can "visit" easily.
All of this is based on getting a book in their hands and the quality of the writing and humor winning them over. As it is abundantly clear I am going to need help in reaching any goals containing at least 3-digits. ONLY 84 TO GO!
I did deliver 15 signed copies to my mom this weekend, so the true circulation is going to surpass 30 soon, depending on her plans.
Sent another gentle bribe to my friends to get the first Amazon review. I hope my gentle bribes are entertaining enough not to annoy them.
