Mark has written a new ebook titled "The Secrets To Ebook Publishing Success". It has great information for new authors and is a good opportunity for established authors to review their marketing efforts. You can download your copy from Smashwords here www.smashwords.com/books/view/145431

I've already read a big part of this book. Will be finishing it and doing my best to apply what Mark says in it.

I skimmed it last night and found it very encouraging, especially concerning prospects for future sales. I also learned a new word - algorism (sp?). I knew this was happening, just didn't know it had a name. I am so glad I decided to stick with SW.

Algorism? Okay, marti, here's a challenge for you; try and fit that into your next book. I had to look up 'algorism' on the net. I'll keep it in mind for when I'm playing scrabble.

I whizzed through the book one afternoon. Really good stuff. What it boils down to, really, is the product. If your book isn't that great, you can do as much digital tap dancing as you like, it ain't gonna sell.
Oh, and hello everyone from a new boy

"Algorithm" will get you a lot further than "algorism."

I also think that just having determination helps. True, my books began selling better when I began treating it as a career rather than some hobby I was doing like building model airplanes. Since then, I just keep relentlessly putting out more content and then doing what I can to network and market.
Having places like this forum is huge, however. I just want to take a moment to thank the creators of Smashwords Forum, too. This helps. Not being able to hold book signings is a bit of a disadvantage in the ebook world, and places like this allow us to interact with writers and readers.
