I am a newly published author. I have published with Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/heal4michael). What I like about Lulu is I keep my rights and I remain in control.
I am good at the writing part. I have been told I am. My trouble is with selling and promoting. I just created a personal web site for my books (http://www.freewebs.com/heal4michael). If anyone has any tips on selling and/or promoting I would love to hear it.

Hi "heal4michael",
I would suggest selling on Ebay or Amazon.com.
Sell your writings in a Ebook.
Also consider mail order, as 80% of people order from mail order catalogs.
I wish you the best and wish you a happy and healthy 2007!

I haven't had lots of luck yet. I just published a few months ago. It hasn't been long yet. I have sold a few books. I wish you the best of luck.

I also have a published book. I have a website at http://homebody2001-ivil.tripod.com
My booksite is at http://www.geocities.com/whitmansbooks
You can put some information on all your outgoing mail..that really helps promote. Also put your links into everything and perhaps make some cards up..and pass them out...that is what I have done..good luck.

Hire a publicist. If you can not afford one, check with your local college in the Public Relations department and see if there are any soon to be graduates who are looking for some real world experience.
They can get a portfolio of work out of your project and hopefully you can get some PR and exposure out of their efforts.
Do book signings.

That sounds like a great idea. Check a local college. Okay. Thanks!
