In ten years when I’m eighty-six, I suspect I will still be writing. My career may take a turn for the better because of my advanced age.
In five years I plan to reach a modest goal of a steady writing income of from $5,000 to $7,000 from books sold on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and local bookstores.
In three years I hope to be recognized as a local author in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Greater Detroit. Speaking engagements may be a part of that future income along with book sales up to $3,000. I suspect $1,000 marketing investment per year will be required.
I’m considering asking for quotes for my website upgrade: www.rohnfederbush.com
I want all my books shown as side bars on the left and right of a central-main column.
All of my Romantic Suspense Books I want on the left:
- In Lincoln’s Shadow
- Separation Anxiety
- Bonds of Affection
- Hastings Dead
- Sally Bianco’s Mystery Series (3 books: The Legitimate Way, The Appropriate Way, and the Recorder’s Way)
On the right I want:
- Fantasy: St. Joan’s Architect
- Michigan Historical Romance:
- 1812 North Parish
- 1841 Floating Home
- 1879 Love’s Triumph
- Biblical Fiction: Salome’s Conversion
In the center column I want to give away Separation Anxiety which truncates into In Lincoln’s Shadow cover.
Later I want to give away Hastings Dead truncating into Sally Bianco’s Mystery Series
A better idea might be to start linking a monthly e-newsletter in the column with a Mail Chimp address keeper for those who want to keep receiving my information. I would like to be taught to add this newsletter by myself, too.
All good plans to shoot for, Rohn. Best of luck.
Miss you all.
Good luck.
Thank you for your time.
