Advertising and Reviews

So far, as predicted, sales have been disappointingly low.

As I said in an earlier post, I fluctuated between thinking that my book is incisive and elegant, and worrying that it disastrous drivel, and to some extent I still feel that way. I must, and indeed do, face the possibility that the book is just no good, that my writing is amateur and/or boring, and that as a self produced work it is likely that it appears less professional than it otherwise could. I know all of this.

Having said all that, it seems to me that the quality (or lack thereof) of my work, cannot in itself be the reason for poor sales. After all, there have been no reviews of my book (negative or otherwise) that might discourage people from buying it. It must be the lack of proper advertising that is to blame, at least at this stage.

If there is anyone out there reading this blog, and the lack of comments would suggest that there is not, but if there is, I would be grateful for any advertising suggestions. Is there anything that I could reasonably and cheaply do that I am not already doing?

In the meantime, if you have bought and read the book, a short review, positive or negative, would be welcome. I have had literally no feedback as yet.

Sorry if this post seems a bit whiny. I have no excuse.
