No, you’re not seeing things. I amended the title of my latest release. It was originally Crossdressed for my Stepdad, but as the story developed, the main character was crying out for more than one partner. As a considerate author, I obliged, and as a naughty, sexy person, so too did my primary character.
Crossdressed and Curious is now available on Amazon and, of course, Kindle Unlimited.
I promised you, my faithful readers, that I’d report on my two new strategies, which, to remind you, were taglines and using Pinterest.
As an author who doesn’t use paid advertising, I was keen to see if using taglines on my covers would create more interest in my titles. Judging from the sales figures and interest in my brand over the past two months, I’d say taglines work.
On the subject of Pinterest, there are those who say it is more effective than other, regular social media used by authors. Yes, it may be more effective in that the graphics, and therefore the titles, are on view for longer without requiring adjustments or updates. It is, however, similar to other social media platforms in the respect that it requires continual engagement.
For several weeks, I posted book covers and titles, offering excerpts from my books, and during that period, I saw views increase dramatically. However, it would be foolhardy to suggest that the idea generated substantial interest in my brand. For now, I’m leaving my pages there as they are, and perhaps when I publish a new title, I’ll post the cover and an excerpt to maintain interest.
I already use two design programmes to create my covers, and I’m not prepared to spend money or time on making my presence on Pinterest any fancier. Conversely, this is not because I’m not prepared to part with money for advertising, it’s because I don’t write to make money. My primary reason for producing my work is that I love writing erotica and entertaining readers.
Feminised by my Boss, and New Tricks are now vying for my attention, so one of them will be published in November.
Until next time, thank you for being there. Remember, if you ever want to leave a comment, you can use the box below or visit the Contacts page. I will respond if you’d like me to, and anything we say will, of course, remain between us.
