I'm giving away 25 ebooks just to get someone to look at my book. Seems this marketing thing is a lot harder than one thinks.

Trying to get people to even look at my ebook (especially since I'm not known) is the trick.

 I guess I should take a course in marketing.

Topic: Self-Publish
I just posted  book of my short stories on Kindle and Nook - I've had trouble going the traditional publishing route with my books and stories. In most cases, I was a sucker for publishing houses that wanted me to pay for publishing costs. Even some literary agents tried to charge an upfront fee.  I finally got a hold of a good website "Predators and Editors" that display the more questionable publishing practices of some publishing houses and literary agencies.
