The world of content is changing as you know - and evidently so is publishing changing - even as I make my grand entrance onto the scene. Indeed, I've read that in addition to E-Books overtaking `real books' in real sales in many countries including the USA - and incredibly, in some markets and niches, the FREE BOOKS are `outselling/outdownloading' the books that are actually purchased by nearly 100 to one (which I find beyond belief really, I'd love to have this verified). Oh, and I read that Amazon doesn't really `help' an author until they have sold about a 1,000 books (by including them on the page of other authors of a niche).
Sounds lucrative right? --- And that only one in 10 Kindle authors even makes enough for a minimum monthly royalty payment of 10.00. ------- Really sounds like a good idea to jump into right? (Now try to figure out an actual marketing budget!)
But, that is for all writers on Amazon. Those that market their books in any manner do better of course. Those that blog do better usually and those that support their books with book signings and lectures do better. There are even suggestions for how to approach the E-Market as you would expect - most involving trying to market to a niche (duh) with quantity and quality content. 7.4It is also suggested to experiment with different pricing levels...................... All approaches that I have been following in all honesty and with some success if my success is to be measured by 90% NOT earning 10 bucks royalty per month. (For the curious, so far every month royalties are 3-11 times that figure for me. Generally growing as I figure out this gig.)
So, with that as a backdrop - I thought I'd update and promote my books again with you (lol) - ready?

I also have a business book priced at 9.50 targeted to restaurant owners that I have just begun to market also FYI. Selling ONE copy of that is equivalent royalty to selling 15 or so of my lower priced (99cent) books.

Thanks for your support - check out any of the titles above with a simple click.

Despite no update yesterday 37 of you in America and about a dozen of you in the UK found the FREE book on my author page yesterday about the 2006 Chicago O'Hare Airport UFO Incident - thanks. Several of you also purchased my `Going To The Light - The New Theories' Kindle book yesterday, propelling it to Number One for November. Oh, there is a FREE book on my author page again TODAY (Sunday).
========================================
There is an update on the Denver UFO that I will be covering tomorrow - stay tuned. I also have a number of 2012 UFO pictures shared with me by Ken Pfeifer that I will be bringing also next week to Clockers.
