Nine reviews. How discouraging! (I hope you have more.)

How can I get more?

• I can post on social media that I’m honoring my grandmother by publishing this book. Well, I’ve done that; maybe if I hadn’t I would have even fewer than nine reviews.
• I can create a website — and add 1 to the 1,106,671,903 websites in the world as of noon on Sunday, 10/22/2024.
• I can run Amazon and social media ads. I don’t know how much good these will do, but I will be setting up an Amazon ad soon. Maybe not social media ads, though. I hear the ROI for Facebook, for example, isn’t what it once was, and the competition is fierce. My own experience with FB ads, after clicking on just one ad for an electric bike, is that I am now wading through six or seven similar ads every 20 or so posts from friends.
