Yeah, this is where I get grabby. I left checked all the boxes for all five books.
I'll see how this goes. Right now, I could spend half my day online keeping up with things, and I really can't afford it. Honestly, the royalty statements don't reflect any bump. But what else can you do--online outreach is the only thing one has control over?
Neither the online promo nor the real life stuff I've done have had huge effects, as far as I can tell. But there have been little effects. Sometimes I'll meet someone who's able to get a book reviewed somewhere, or who offers to take bookplates to all of their local bookstores, or who just talks about the book on different message boards and blogs. Nothing major, but I have to believe the little stuff adds up.
And hey, it makes my agent and editor happy to see me doing promotion, even if it doesn't have much of an impact on sales :-)
