Faith in the future

The Four in One Gospel of JESUS

The Four in One Gospel of JESUS

Hello everybody,

My name is Nikola Dimitrov, 34 years of age, married to my beautiful wife - Helen, and having 2 glorious baby girls. we are living in Bulgaria.

About 9 years ago I started working on a very large project, called: "The Four in One Gospel of JESUS". After years of study and work from a whole team of professionals both in Bulgaria and USA, the book was fully ready to be printed out.

I gave the book to Amazon's POD agent - Booksurge. They produced the book on a Print on Demand basis and placed links of it in their chain of web sites.

I started writing to all churches, ministries, individuals, bookstores, newspapers, magazines, TV stations, book reviewers, literary agencies, publishers, etc. I must have sent a least 20 000 emails. so far, for more than a year, Booksurge has sold not more than 50 copies, mostly, of my friends anyway.

So, I am yet to breakthrough in this project and in writing this, it is not much of a positive testimony on one side, but on another, in writing to all these people and organisations, i made some quality friendships with people, thus going from one level to another with each new friendship, and finally, I am right now in the process of signing a contract with Destiny Image Publishers, concerning one of my other books. Destiny Image is one of the top 10 Christian Publishers in the world.

What I want to say with all this is, that, self published authors should never quit trying to find a market, and connections with people is the key. If You continue to press forward, eventually You will meet a person, who knows another person, who knows another one, who can finally help You break through. Again, I have not yet reached that point myself, but believe I am on my way very soon. When I do, I will update my testimony here.

May God Bless You all!
Nikola Dimitrov

Thank you for the blessings!

Nikola, your enthusiasm may very well be contagious.

I'm no designer, but your book cover looks absolutely gorgeous to me. I wouldn't guess in a million years that it was POD/self published.

That's exciting that your correspondences have resulted in so many new friendships.

I find the same thing in having my own, well-trafficked website. People from all over the world contact me. (It's "living the dream" for a shy person!)

Looking at your eblessings.us page and having it load in such a fashion that the ads overlapped your text made me think that, after a year, maybe it's time for you to have your own website too.

It leaves you a little more in control not only of how your book is presented, but of your destiny too.

This is the company I use to create my sites. You may want to take a look!

(Here's my other site.)

Thanks so much for posting. I'm pretty sure you're the first Bulgarian on the site. Good to have you aboard!


Webmaster's note: Exciting news! Nikola took my advice and started his own SiteBuildIt website. You can find it at Life of Jesus.
