But it doesn't rule our own success out. We just need to keep looking and keep trying.<br /><br />Ali Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907289209780628314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317426523915888661.post-31221625171508425852013-01-10T09:55:34.265-05:002013-01-10T09:55:34.265-05:00Popped over here as part of the Indie Life group, ...Popped over here as part of the Indie Life group, Terri. Very nice to meet you! :-)<br /><br />I'm right there with you on the advertising front. I've no idea what works at this point. I'm trying a large-scale, organized blog tour for the first time next month. I paid to have it done so I could get access to some of the bigger book review blogs. We'll see how it goes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317426523915888661.post-89409743651733941852013-01-10T03:20:26.474-05:002013-01-10T03:20:26.474-05:00I do both indie and traditional publishing and bot...I do both indie and traditional publishing and both have their positives and negatives.

And it is impossible to anticipate the outcome of them all. Sometimes indie publishing is like a really wicked science experiment, but the fun part is that we can always try another experiment. Writing is not for the faint at heart :)Terri J.

But a tsunami of data still doesn't help you understand what's happening. Sometimes the best thing to do is keep a constant sight on the horizon and just sail forward.<br /><br />I hope your 2013 is awesome!Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317426523915888661.post-67606092935290495022013-01-09T13:10:53.852-05:002013-01-09T13:10:53.852-05:00Thanks for participating in Indie Life.
