In Search of the Lost Ones One Sale May 16-19

Beginning tomorrow and going on until May 19, the Kindle Edition of In Search of The Lost Ones will be on sales for .99 cents US.  The same sale will be in effect for the other Kindle edition you can purchase on the other sites.

I'm excited to see what this sales will do.  I'll let you know after May 19.  This is a pretty interesting experiment, but I am willing to see how this sale goes.  Publishing a history book on Transylvania and getting reviews is always interesting!

This does mean I have to price all of the sites at a lower price, such as Amazon.de, or Amazon.co.uk, but if there are more sales from other amazon websites, I am more than happy to go for it.

What I am hoping for more readers, and this will be one means to see how well people think of In Search of the Lost Ones.  The paperback sales are steady, but again this is something that will not only help me improve my writing, but will allow me find out what it takes to sell more books.

Does a Review of Your Book Help you Make Money?

It is easy to get people to buy your book, however to get them to review your book is a different matter.  It is not as easy.

Most people like to read a good book, and I've had a number of people comment that they like the book.  I think for them to sit in front of a computer screen and comment is something of a different sort.  I've even told people on several writing sites, that should they want to review it, I'm more than happy to send a copy- a pdf or a paperback.

Some want to know where they should put the review?  I am a bit divided, I'd love to have a review on amazon.com or amazon.ca or whichever amazon site you're willing to review it, but a review on a blog with a link to the book on amazon is also okay with me. (You can email me or if you really want you can take a look at the reviews on amazon.com here)

As for free books: I am all for it, if it gets readers, and if it gets reviews.  I am against the idea that you sell a book for a review, simply give a free book and ask the person to review it.  I found most people are more than grateful to get a free book.  But if the Kindle price is low, I personally will buy the book to read it, and also will put a badge on it as a Amazon verified purchase.

I think that having both a paperback and a Kindle edition  (which is another means to passive income) of In Search of the Lost Ones is both a benefit and a challenge; either way the important thing is that even though I have sold enough book to get paid for my Kindle sales, I've only had three reviews done.  Still it's a good step.  Most people can like a review, which helps long term when you are planning to make money.

The E-book of In Search of The Lost Ones: Another Means Passive Income

If you want to make money-- rather passive income there is a good way to do this.  Publish an e-book along with having Google AdSense or any other affiliate program on your blogs. 

The important thing to making money online-- writing or otherwise is to get people to buy something you have worked on such as an e-book.

Publishing a book is one thing, but publishing an selling an e-book is another.

So without more words these are the links to In Search of the Lost Ones:  Amazon.com, on Amazon.co.uk, and on Amazon.de where you can buy the e-book depending on where you live-- note that with all of these you can add them to your Kindle or your computer or the Kindle app or your smart phone or iPad.  It is important to note for many authors and people who want to make money without going insane....

It is also good to note that the price is reasonable and this is an important factor when you plan on writing and publishing an e-book for more sales, price it lower, as most readers are willing to spend money on a book which is priced at $2.99 rather than $10.99

That each area allows you to buy e-books based on where you live. So, you can't download books from Amazon.co.uk if you don't live in the UK or areas where the UK websites allows you to download Kindle books.  The same hold true for other countries.  This is a good means to passive long-term income if you promote your books with care.
