Re: Hello, first time publisher here!

Tommy,

Looks to me as though you have made good moves. But this is just a 
beginning; you write as though you thought that was all marketing is! 
Poetry is a very difficult field, on top of all the other problems. DRM 
is not really useful, and in fact a hindrance to selling.

There are many articles and helpful websites, and many books which give 
good guidance. You need to place your works o nthe etailer sites as well 
as having your own site. And remember there is not 'poetry', but many 
poetries! Audio does seem to be gaining popularity, but it does need to 
be done with some professionalism. Just deep testing things until one 
works, and then build on that; don't let the frustrations stop you.
