Self-publishing

OK...I am now available in every form of e-book known to mankind...you can get me on Kindle, IPad, even Sony's e-reader...I have yet to sell one e-book...and I have been available thru Lulu for like four months at least and have only sold two books thru them and they were downloads to computers...my paperback was available on amazon but today it says no longer available...I am still awaiting my arrival in the actual bookstores but Barnes and Noble had some personal issues last month and I am now told perhaps the end of September...Lulu was great for putting the book together and getting you all excited but they do nothing to promote you, even on their own site...I expected it on their own site...and then I found smashwords...they were and are great...they help you with getting your book into proper e-format which is much different than book form, though no one will ever tell you this...smashwords then gets you out there...but again you have to do the promoting...but they get you out there, which is very important...I am on Kindle, Ipad, E-Reader...and online catalogues I have never heard of...I recommend smashwords to everyone...not sure if I would do the same for Lulu...sometimes making things easy just makes them that much harder...
