Update - I didn't get enough votes, but the love all of you showed for me is much, much appreciated.

Please accept my thanks in advance. I launched my book, Afro-Bougie Blues, a month ago, and have since learned, painfully, that if you dont constantly advertise and promote, nobody sees/buys/reads the book. So, I have been promoting the book on-line, and have had a smidge of success. It went live on June 3rd and I have sold 60 books. (Woo Hoo!) Now, I have a new opportunity. A website called Reedsy has a competition. Whoever gets the most likes gets their book in a newsletter. I have no idea how many likes I need, but if you can, please go to this website and click UpVote, betweem July 6-12.

(6,309 posts)Please accept my thanks. I hit THIRTY-SEVEN upvotes. I talked to one of the customer service people and she said to target "over 25"... Considering that it is a niche category, I really think I have a shot at this.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
