Hi, I have recently self-published via Amazon and Apple on their respective eBook platforms and as one might expect sales are low. This is obviously because of a lack of marketing, fan base, etc. etc. and my reliance on word of mouth. I have undoubtedly committed most of the cardinal sins of self-publishing in the first few months, so lessons being learned.
Therefore, I am interested in any advice the experienced writers out there might have on the subject of self-built websites as marketing tools and also as sales rooms, so to speak.
My intent is to build a website and sell paper copies (generated through Create Space et al.) of the novel(s) and also high quality prints of the maps that attend the series, both of which i am told are worth my time, and other's coin.
No doubt this is a common aspiration so all comments, advice and general hoots of hilarity are welcome.
