...Thanks, Jenny, that's a very important point.<br />Yes, I would never suggest that authors spend anything on advertising, personally, unless it was clear profit made from earlier ebook sales.<br />More data on that was in my earlier Authors Electric posts, Bookbub Experiments 1-3, which are still in the archive here. <br />In early 2013, for example, I was spending money on advertising, which had come from clear profits in 2012 from ebook sales.<br />And in 2012, my first year of epublishing, I paid for no advertising at all. <br />Another important principle (as I see it) is to spend only a relatively small percentage of earlier profit, on future advertising.<br />So far, that's how I've done it anyway, with $625 being the highest spend for a single promotion to date...and I took 27 months to carefully work up to that.
