It's a close run thing but I may well make more money from postcards and mugs with snurds on than from sales of my actual book.

That said, what is successful marketing? The handful of people who have read and liked my book do tend to be quite into it. There used to be a thing on my book's kindle page on Amazon which would tell me how many hits had converted into sales. In the case of my book it was 75%. So I guess that means that on one level my book is a 'success'. Or that I have been doing the 'right' marketing at the 'right' crowd but just not enough of it.

Either that or it has a wider appeal than I thought.

Whatever the reason, I wish I could get it to sell well enough for Amazon to pick it up, then I might start to look a bit more entreprenaural...

Cheers
