A Better Option

                                               A new Website

After my discussion last night with a publisher, I have no reason to believe I cannot sell my idea, not that selling my wild ideas posed an issue for me.

I decided it would be more profitable for me to build a website to sell my eBooks from, than to pay a promoter; I can justify spending $20.00 a month, I cannot justify spending over $2,00.00 as I won't sell enough to cover my outlay, such is the Curse of the Indie Writer.

On the down side, if I build the site, it won't look dynamic, which could affect sales; on the up side, if I build the site, I won't be paying a lot for it, so I could offlay that cost with book sales.

I can sell the idea

 Nothing changes

A few minutes ago, I had a chat with a publisher who was very interested in my book. I had him hooked by the various themes I have interwoven in my 118-page novelette.

I put forward the possibility of the book beginning a series; we chatted about what they can do, but as usual, I was blocked by the Curse of the Indie Writer; outlay Vs possible income. The costs were reasonable for the work being done, I cannot afford to have the book published, nor can I envisage earning enough to recoup my outlay. I could have been wrong, but it's a huge risk.

I've never had a problem selling my ideas to publishers, but that is as far as I go.
