My book We The People has been available for a month now. I have sold two copies and one download. Still, it is a rush to get it done. I'm self-published and the marketing is beginning to fill my time and resources are low. It will be a challenge. However, I've donated the book to Cancer Research and am finding good welcome from local merchants. My book is on display in 4 places, not related to books, with a stack of cards beside it. Maybe...

I have convinced several local merchants who don't sell books to put my new book We The People on display. I bought a dish holder to lean the book up and placed a card holder beside it containing a bunch of my self-printed business cards. What I hope from this is to get my cards out there and generate traffic to my website. They will have already seen my book and perhaps browsed the pages. If this works, I will canvas more merchants. You don't want merchants that sell books(competition), or have cluttered counter tops, or want a 'cut' of the action. I have mine in my hair salon, in front of my hair lady. Another is placed at the pizza parlour where I go to pick up once a week. Another is at the computer store where I shop. Finally, the Cancer Society office, as my book is donated to them.
