A note to authors feeling disappointed by their sales in #IndieApril:

If you& #39;re feeling down this month, you& #39;re not alone. April has been my worst month, by far.

Keep in mind that lots of authors ran sales & focused on marketing. Overall, I think indie April is great.

But...
Since there were so many discounts & an uptick in authors promoting their work, the sales have been more spread out.

This is good for indies overall, but not great for us individually.

So what& #39;s my take away from this? Promotion works! Don& #39;t just do it one month a year.
#Readers: Don& #39;t just focus on indie work in April. There are TONS of amazing indie books that deserve to be enjoyed all year long.

#Writers: Promote often. You will get the sales, but it& #39;s a ton of work.

So don& #39;t be discouraged. Your books are fantastic and so are you!
