After more than 4 months of planning, acquiring web space, writing, drawing, coloring, layouts, html-coding.... I've finally released my first children's pdf e-book for sale, The Secret Library, on my site Hishgraphics Publications.

Now, the next step would be marketing it... and I've totally hit a brick wall. WHat's my next step? Meta tags for SEO are coded. What should I do to get more hits, and ultimately the sales? I can't just spam all the people I know. Most of them know better, and I'll receive a negative backlash from such an activity. Hehe.

Man, looks like more research into e-commerce marketing is required.

The Job is going well, last month I completed my first year, man does time fly!
I found an ebook review site - [link] (by searching for "ebook reviews" in google) I don't know how popular or reputable it is (it was the first entry on Google). They take submissions of ebooks for review, but charge a $10 admin fee. Might be worth it, s'up to you! :)

Stu! :D

Best of luck with the site Hish, it looks like a fantastic idea I really hope it takes off. In regards to marketing, it can be really tricky. First thing to do would be to get it listed on as many search engines as possible, I think there are free lsiting services available (I'll try and dig out some addresses for you later). Of course though, Google is the main one and it would good to be listed high there. I think Google searches are ordered by the amount of sites that link to you or something.
Perhaps you could look around for some children's book review sites and get them to review your book, I don't know of any but I'm sure they exist! :D

Again, Good Luck! Stu :)
