The point of this post is to briefly introduce myself and then try and convince you that I can be of service.
My name is Damien, I am 32 years old, and a struggling eBook author.
I live in WA, and to be perfectly honest, I was really hoping that self-publishing myself and getting on board for this "eBook revolution" might allow me to get out of the depths of this economic depression.
For what seems like a long while I have dedicated more than half of every day to writing, editing, formatting, and social-networking within the eBook community. My goodness, and to be honest the sales are just barely trickling in. It is discouraging.
So far, there has been only one way to generate sales. That is by being of service to the eBook community, doing it sincerely, and not asking for a penny in return.
That is what get's me from day to day in this environment and personal situation. You would be surprised how hard it is for a guy to be put to use lol, people think its like a scam or something lol.
So....let me help you. All you have to do is ask.
Can I write a review for you? Since I cannot afford to buy anything, it needs to be a free work that you are using to advertise yourself. I have 5 or 6 of those out there, and trust me they work, at least in terms of exposure.
Can I rate something for you?
Would you like a review of your eBook cover?
Would you like a review of your novel? If so you could email me a short synopsis and a really juicy quote. I would be honored to do that.
Could you use some editing or proofreading? I do not have time for novels, but I could check out your blog posts, flash fiction, or short stories.
The eBook community is the future of our species. It is based on a "gift economy" or in other words, "scratch my back and I will scratch yours."
What do you think? If you do not wish to take advantage of my offer, what have you been doing for other people that is helping their books sell?
Cheers
