Help! Anybody out there know how to get their self-published book sold

About to years ago, I set out to publish a book of poetry. Through trial and error, I finally composed a book that I could be proud of somewhat, I managed to get the book placed on Amazon.com but since then, not much has happened and the book has just sat there collecting dust. What can I do to get more people to notice it and buy it? If you have any suggestions please feel free to write me here... thanks.

Hi I'm Back and before the year is out!

Hi Bloggers! I hope you had a Merry Christmas and are in the process of having a happy new year! Twelve months go by so fast and we rarely stop to think how fast time moves. Well I have had an eventful year and am currently in the process of getting my last degree. I only have two more courses after spring semester and I will be done Praise God! Over the holiday, I have been thinking about purchasing an ereader and have narrowed it down to two: Amazon Kindle and Nook Color from Barnes & Noble. I have good things about each one so I don't know what to do. Been doing some research and hopefully will decide what to do soon. Man I want an ereader really bad. Well that is all for now, enjoy the rest of this year and gear up for the next. God Bless!
