Congratulations! You wrote a novel and published it. That's a big deal in itself.

As fellow self-published author, the work doesn't stop when you hit publish. The sales person hat, the marketing hat and the reviewer seeker hat has to be put on. You can't rely on family, friends and fandom to help you. And it's hard because hey, i know how to write, but figuring out this whole advertising thing when so many places go "Oh, you're trying to sell something, that's spam."

Building a fan base in fandom where people already loved the source material was easy. Building a fan base for original, yeah, that takes time and effort to find who is the market for your novel and advertising there and putting the word out and creating a social media platform that isn't about fandom, but is about you and your novel.

It also sounds like you are on Smashwords. Smashwords has 300,000 self published novels in their database. Fortunately, because it's 99 cents, there are a LOT of websites that if you submit to them will broadcast that you've got a cheap ebook novel.

Good luck fell self pub.
