My book has been available on Amazon since the end of January. I have finally started doing some marketing on it. The first thing I did was to re-design the website. It took me about 10 days to get the new site up and running. I’ve also started twittering and told all my friends to check out the website.

I woke up at 3am last night and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I turn on the new Mac I got a few days ago. (On a side note, having this new Mac has increased my productivity by 100X) A friend of mine told me that her friend just published a book in Taiwan, and volunteered to make an introduction to me to see if I can market this book in Taiwan. She emailed him right away and within a few hours had spoken to him on the phone. Basic conclusion: I should have the book translated 80%+ before approaching the publishers, and there’s a yearly book conference in the beginning of year where I can talk to all the major publishers in Taiwan.

I also turned on Google Adwords today to see if it’ll help with the book sales. Although I know what Google Adwords does and had some experience with it before, I still feel quite clueless on how to make it effective. So far I am not seeing a lot of traffic coming in, but I’ll give it a week to see if it’s working and tweak accordingly. I’ve also sent out a few emails asking friends if they know people who are interested in reading my book, and posted online to find people who can give me some feedback on the book.

I had been working on the book for the entire week and did not get to work on the other two projects as much as I hoped to. I am still aiming to finish the Unity3D book by the end of this month, so I will be spending most of my time next week doing that. In the mean time, the website for the machine business is still behind and the developer is having problem transferring the site to our server. I will need to work with him tomorrow to get it resolved.

Oh one last thing that I did today – making this blog. I am typing this on the bed next to my lovely wife, and I will try to keep writing every night before I go to sleep.

That’s it for now today. Tomorrow will be a Unity day. I need to finish it soon so I can start the next book on Blender.
