Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

Funny Friday

 

This week was interesting. I finished up the final edit on My GRL. Now on to formatting (yay). The formatting should be complete by this time next week. I had a super promotion on Our Justice. I ran two separate media events. The EReader News Today event was far and away the most successful. The BookGoodies event produced a few sales, but the ENT success was in the scale of ten to one sales over BookGoodies. I purposely left the price of Our Justice at $0.99 for both events so I could get an accurate comparison. The cost of the events was $40 for ENT and $25.00 for BookGoodies. Regarding efficiency, there is no question ENT is the most efficient. I will say BookGoodies did produce a bump in sales which other programs have not. I’m still in the dark about what works. I will keep trying, though. Today’s JohnKu talks about trying different things until you find the best solution. Have a great weekend.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  1. I always enjoy the morning chuckle, JohnKu…and good advice. Hope you have a great weekend and are spared the pirate’s fate. 🙂

  6. Another great Johnku.
    Thanks for including the feedback and pricing about the events, John. That’s valuable insight. Since I have zero time for marketing, in this my “grand experiment in indie” I’ve done extremely little that I have to purchase. But for $40…. maybe I’ll opt in for something like that… maybe when I have all three of Pip’s serials “book-ized.”
    Have a fabulous Friday. Mega hugs.

  10. Book marketing sort of feels like throwing darts at a moving target, huh, John?! At any rate, thank you for testing these two avenues and letting us know how they’ve played out. Love your JohnKu this morning … and seeing Mr. Depp atop your post was a real treat! He makes such a fine pirate!

  17. I cannot articulate just how much I admire your literary abilities, John.
    I doubt I’ll ever be able to do what you do, never mind half as well.
    Carry on carrying on, my good friend.

    1. I have to appreciate the Haiku skill here. The real reason Trump was elected is the Congress totally failed in it’s duty to represent the citizens will. As a result the people wanted a change and that is all Trump ran on. He said he would change everything. I now fear we will be in a situation where the Congress will again fail in it’s duty to provide checks and balances. If Trump fails the next level will be for citizens to take the situation into their own hands. The world should pray that that does not happen. So in essence if Trump succeeds in changing things for the better all will be good.
