It's amazing what lowering the price of a book to $.99 for a week in conjunction with a promo will do for sales ranking. Today, the first day of the discount, "When the Reaper Comes" jumped over 1,200,000 ranks. I have no idea how many book sales that represents (have to wait for the figures from my publisher), and it probably isn't that many in reality, but it's still cool to see that spike!
Many congrats, Jack! Hope you sold bunches.:)
I think the sales will help long term. Once you get a spike in sales, it greases Amazon's algorithm and they increase the visibility of your writing. Good luck with it!
Thanks, guys. The sales ranking continues to rise today!
That's great, Jack. Here you go! You deserve it. JP
Thanks, JP! This marketing thing is a pain. And the industry has us indies by the short ones. Lower your price to get more downloads or face oblivion among the slew of books coming out every day. Amazon loves it; readers, who like free/almost free, love it. Artists in the music industry face the same challenge - give your creations up for pittance in return for a wider audience. But that audience - and mine - will wait for the next deal before shelling out money. And I can't blame them. (sigh) If there's any consolation, it's that the stuff-shirt Big-5 publishers are feeling the pain. But I'm happy being an author associated with an indie publisher. I've already had a career, and this is just fun!
