Reddit reviews Living With Tinnitus: A Practical Guide to Understanding, Treating, and Coping with Tinnitus

Purchase your own ISBN through Bowker Identifier Services so you'll always have ultimate control, and get a preassigned control number through the Library of Congress. When you get your book proof, LOC will want a copy for their records. http://www.loc.gov/publish/cip/

I self-published Living With Tinnitus, and it's done all right in its category, but the income from it is nothing to write home about, despite excellent reviews. The ratio of books sold to reviews written is small, but that's typical for a lot of authors. However, people who are savvy in social media marketing can more easily get people to read and review their book. For introverts like me, marketing is a huge stumbling block.

Prolific Works, formerly Indiefeed, and BookFunnel are platforms for getting freebies to beta readers. A professionally designed book cover is worth its weight in gold. I'll use Damonza to design the cover for my next book instead of doing it myself, which frankly drove me crazy trying to get it right.

I'll follow my own advice when it's time to publish my WIP, a time travel romance.
