Billboards
Okay, this is hopefully my last question for a while. (yeah, famous last words, lol) Anyhow, have any of you ever used a roadside billboard to promote yourself or your books, and if so, how effective was it? I'm asking as I'm considering the idea myself after a friend of mine did it for his business and found it to be very lucrative. My only issue is that I don't charge for my books. I prefer to give them away for free as this is just a fun hobby of mine. But even so I want as many people as possible to read the books. Thus my consideration of the billboard, despite the expense. So what do you guys think about the idea? Good idea or bad?
PS, the cost that I'll have to shoulder if I do this is about $500/m for 6 months for a prime location. OR about $3k. I could possibly offset that a bit by charging 99c on all my books, but I'm not sure at this point. Hence my request for your thoughts.
