Amazon, Mobipocket…and Nursing?

MY THREE BOOKS ARE UP AND RUNNING!!

Between nursing and diaper changes, I finally got three books ready to sell on Amazon.com and Mobipocket. The 2nd and 3rd books didn’t take very long at all to get on Amazon and Mobipocket; so I guess that once you have one (1) book up and going, everything else takes less than five (5) days. I uploaded my books on a Monday and it was on Amazon by Friday.

HURRAY!!!! Irid and Ruby, Flesh & Heart are on the move!!

So now for the next step–Marketing Online.

I’ve been doing some research and I’ve decided to do New Press Releases at prlog.org and prweb.com. I’m not quite sure how they work, but I figure I would write up a press release and post them anyway. There’s also my college alumni magazine I can post into as well. I’ve already stated my progress on my Facebook as well. I’m sure there’s more out there to do and I’ll research on how to do it. I did take a business course on online businesses, so I’ll go back through my notes on that as well to see the other advertisements I can do.

I’ve added meta tags to my webpage. Meta tags are information inserted in the heading of a web page to tell a browser what your page is all about. It’s more html stuff I learned about in my online business class. Not sure it will help, but decided to see what will happen anyway.

So, once I’ve done with my research on every possible way I can market online, I’ll be posting it here.

And darn! I missed another month (September). I tell ya. Being a parent ain’t no joke. I just don’t have as much time as I use to, to do things. I can see the fun and the not so fun of being a parent, but I’m definitely going to find the time to do what I have always dreamed of doing.

Well…back to nursing. Until next time!!
