Publishing direct via Kindle is increasingly becoming a sensible option for new writers. Guest author and blogger, Tim O\u2019Rourke<\/a>, succeeded in becoming a #1 bestseller within his category by taking that exact route. In just four months, he has sold 40,000 books after manuscript feedback from us, and sales are still increasing. Here is his story.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Tim O\u2019Rourke. Recently my ebooks<\/a> have really taken off, and on this blog, I\u2019m going to tell you how I did it \u2013 what I\u2019m discovering \u2013 and how you can do it, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve only been self-publishing<\/a> my books for the last ten months. If I really think about it though, that short space of time has been tough, fun, exciting and sometimes surreal. Like many aspiring writers, over the years I\u2019ve had my fair share of knock backs from agents and never got close to even getting any of my books in front of a publisher. But, I never stopped writing and that\u2019s the most important thing. I kept on writing because I just loved doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last February I was bought a Kindle for my birthday. I didn\u2019t want one as I loved books. I loved the feel of them, the smell of them and the noise of the pages being turned over. Nevertheless, I switched it on and started downloading and downloading and reading and reading and downloading and reading \u2013 you get the picture and rightly or wrongly, I haven\u2019t bought a paper version of a book since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, I happened across an article on the internet regarding self-publishing your own books onto the Kindle to be sold on Amazon.<\/a> Intrigued by this and with a fair amount of hesitation (what if I didn\u2019t sell any?) and the numerous articles on the internet telling you that you shouldn\u2019t self-publish on the Kindle as it\u2019s killing the publishing industry, and self-published authors on the Kindle are lucky if they sell more than 150 copies, and although Amazon offer an attractive 70% royalty programme, 70% of nothing (the amount of books you will sell) is still nothing, I thought I would give it a go. What did I have to lose? I would have been happy to sell 50 books as that meant I\u2019d shared my stories with 50 more people than I had previously.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So with very little effort and totally free of charge, I uploaded my first book\u00a0Doorways<\/em>\u00a0onto the Kindle, which meant it was available as an ebook on Amazon in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. The original cover<\/a> was designed by a friend. The book was a fantasy adventure aimed at 14 \u2013 16-year-old boys. I set the price low at 99 cents (77p). Why so low?<\/a> Two reasons, I thought that as a self-published and unknown author it was more important for me to find a readership for my work than to make money. Secondly, I have two teenage sons who, believe it or not, have never walked into a music store and bought a CD. Every piece of music they buy, they download for 79p from the iTunes store. The Apps and games that they download are never more than \u00a31.00. So, as I was aiming my book at a similar age group and my books were going to be downloadable, it made sense to me to set the price of my books at the same levels as equivalent media that my own children were downloading.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With my book on Amazon, I waited to see what would happen. Not a lot. After initial copies that were snapped up by friends and family, the book just kind of sat there. Undeterred, I uploaded another book that I had just finished writing. This book was called\u00a0\u2018Black Hill Farm<\/a><\/em>, a psychological thriller with a paranormal twist aimed at the YA market (16 plus). Again, I got my friend to design a cover, and I uploaded to Amazon. This did a little better and I sold about 65 copies in the first few weeks and a few more copies of \u2018Doorways<\/em>. Pleased by my progress (hey, I was halfway to that magic 150 number!), I wrote a follow up book to\u00a0Black Hill Farm<\/em>\u00a0called\u00a0Andy\u2019s Diary<\/a><\/em>. I put this out about six weeks later and my sales crept up again and I think I sold about another 50 copies. (Happy days as I had passed the magic 150!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The problem is, there are over 600,000 books available to download on the Kindle so how do I make mine stand out? I\u2019m competing with books promoted by massive publishing houses \u2013 my books must compete with thousands of traditionally published books!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My Kiera Hudson<\/em> series is, again, another set of books aimed at the YA market. Kiera Hudson is a feisty twenty-year-old new police recruit who has the wonderful knack of solving crimes that others can\u2019t, especially when it comes to vampires and all other things paranormal.\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Eventually my \u00a380 marketing budget dried up, and although my sales had increased to anywhere between 150 \u2013 200 a month, I couldn\u2019t tell if this was due to the bloggers, the Facebook adds or if my books were spreading by word of mouth. I had started to sell books in the US and I knew this wasn\u2019t friends or family who were buying them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then one day, just before releasing the first book in my Kiera Hudson series, I googled my own name and the title of my book\u00a0\u2018Black Hill Farm\u2019<\/em>\u00a0and I was surprised that it was being mentioned on blogs that I hadn\u2019t even contacted. It was also being mentioned on a website called Goodreads. I\u2019d never heard of it. It\u2019s a site where avid readers and writers review books, join communities and talk about authors, etc. I was surprised to see that my book and been put on the virtual bookshelves of members of the site and some had mentioned that they had seen my book on Facebook \u2013 so I knew that in some way, my \u00a380 had been well spent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I joined the site and created a blog which I connected to my own books. I put the first\u00a0Kiera Hudson<\/em>\u00a0book out in July and then something exciting started to happen. In August, I had my best month ever and sold approx. 400 books. Then, in September, something truly amazing happened and I sold just under 1,000 books. October, I sold approx. 4,000 books, November, over 8,000 books, December over 16,500 books.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why did this happen? To be honest, I think there are several reasons. I set the price of my book low, I write in a genre that is popular, I personally answer every single piece of fan mail that I receive, I contact those people kind enough to have left me reviews on Goodreads and thank them for doing so. I believe this is important, not to sell more books, but to say thank you to that person for spending their money on my book, taking the time to read it, then to leave a review for me. For instance, I received an email only the other day from a young girl you said that she had been given a Kindle for Christmas along with a \u00a310 gift voucher. She went on to say that my books were the first that she downloaded and had loved them. It\u2019s nice to know that she enjoyed them, but more than that, she spent her Christmas present on my books and that really made me think how nice that actually is. So the very least that I could do was email her to say thank you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also have my own website which I have linked to my Facebook page. This is where I post news about my books and a place where people can become a fan of my books and leave messages. Again, I make sure that I respond to every message that is left for me and answer any questions. This for me is important and the bit I love the most, because it gives me a chance to chat to those people that are taking the time to read my books.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not very good at \u2018Twittering\u2019 but this again is an important tool, so I have linked my Facebook page to my twitter page, which is linked to my Amazon author page and website. This is a great way of connecting to the readers of my books.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also run competitions and giveaways, which have included signed T-Shirts that I had made with my book cover on the front, bookmarks that were kindly made by a fan, signed prints of the book covers and original pieces of artwork from the book cover designs. This to me is the most important part of what I\u2019ve done, to have a good relationship with the people that read and enjoy my books. I have made so many new friends.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this blog, I said that I had experienced many things in the last ten months and one of those was at times I had found the experience tough. How can it be tough? I\u2019m doing what I\u2019ve always dreamt of doing? But the thing is, I still have a day job and a young family. Everything that I have done in the last 10 months, including writing eight novels, publishing them, marketing them and everything else that I have mentioned above has all been done in my spare time. One night I was caught by my family asleep sitting in front of my laptop halfway through writing a chapter. The point I think that I\u2019m trying to make is that, although my books are selling well (and there are other independent writers out there that are doing just as well and better) it has taken a lot of work. This is not easy. As an indie writer you are just that, plus the publisher, the editor, the marketing department, finding artists to do book covers, answering and dealing with all the correspondence, updating your blog, website, Facebook and a hundred other things that I\u2019ve probably forgotten.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am no expert in publishing, but my heart tells me that things will change in the publishing world. I\u2019ve read plenty of articles on the internet that authors are now leaving their agent and publishers to self-publish on the internet. Some of them have said that they earn more money that way, and others say it gives them more creative freedom. But for me, I\u2019m starting to wonder if publishers will look straight to the internet to see what they want to publish next. Maybe the test of a good book won\u2019t be on the suggestion of an agent, after all that is just one opinion, but if a book seems to be selling well on the internet, doesn\u2019t that suggest that the public are enjoying it? Maybe that will be the real test. I believe this for a couple of reasons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first book in my Kiera Hudson series was rejected by an agent as they said the book was for adults, not children, but the Amazon Children\u2019s Horror chart and Amazon Children\u2019s Romance Chart didn\u2019t reflect this. Despite the concerns the agent had that my book wasn\u2019t really a children\u2019s book (although I wrote it for YA), doesn\u2019t the fact that it was at the top of the Children\u2019s\/Young Adult chart suggest it\u00a0did<\/em>\u00a0fit into that age range?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Secondly, another agent recently said \u201cno\u201d to the same book because they didn\u2019t think they could sell the foreign rights, despite that the book sold more copies in the US than anywhere else, as well as in Canada, Australia, Mexico, Germany, France and Italy \u2013 without even being translated. I even received an email from a US Publisher asking if I had an agent because they were interested in buying the rights, so they could sell my book in China. Yet I\u2019d just been told by an agent that the book wouldn\u2019t sell abroad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The point that I want to make is this: isn\u2019t it the children\/young adults who are buying my books the people that decide whether it\u2019s a kid\u2019s book or an adult book? Why pigeonhole everyone? Children have different reading ages, and likes and interests. With regards to my Kiera Hudson books, haven\u2019t the young adults who are downloading them in their thousands already decided they like them? Yet it seems it\u2019s just a handful of adults deciding what is right for them and what they should and shouldn\u2019t be reading.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know, I could be wrong \u2013 but if young adults didn\u2019t feel that my books were right for them, would they be buying them? This point was never made clearer to me than the other day, when I received an email from a young teenage girl who said in big bold letters at the end of her email:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be Kiera Hudson!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
