I wish more authors shared what worked and did not work for them in what they spend their marketing money on.<br />My only surprise is that you didn't try reader subscription sites like www.bookbub.com or www.kindlebookpromotions.com<br />Some of us don't have an email database of 13K contacts, so I think this is where these guys fill the gap. Do you any experience of using these subscription services?Ricardo Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403860141180929786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429192322415915313.post-69098713282566317582014-11-12T12:50:58.801-08:002014-11-12T12:50:58.801-08:00Thank you Mr. Dean.
