Sales Update

Saturday, May 14, 2011

So at the beginning of the week I mentioned my sales numbers in this post - 1 Month 2 Books over 211 Sales. Well this week has been sort of crazy....

As of this evening, 8:45 PM on Saturday, Amazon is showing this:

Amazon Bestsellers Rank:
#990 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#31 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Fiction > Children's Fiction > Literature > Love & Romance
#35 in Books > Teens > Literature & Fiction > Love & Romance
#59 in Books > Teens > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy

To get to this point I went from 211 book sales to 489. We'll probably end the day around 500 or more.

A big thank you to all who have bought the book. I'm truly humbled. I hope I have provided some fun entertainment for you. Book #2 in the Fateful Series, called Fractured, will be out soon.

And another Thank You to Joe Konrath for inspiring me to take this route!

1 Month 2 Books over 211 Sales

Monday, May 9, 2011

So it's been just over a month since Fateful was launched on the Kindle at Amazon. The Nook followed about a week later. Half way through last week I was able to launch Fair Maiden on both the Nook and Kindle. With those two books I ended last week having sold just over 211 books in about 30 days.

I might be old fashioned but I try not to do any work on Sunday. Yet I always get tempted to at least go look at my ranking and see what is going on. On Sunday morning, Mother's Day, I saw the following:

Fateful - Amazon Bestsellers Rank:
#2,697 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#66 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Fiction > Children's Fiction > Literature > Love & Romance
#85 in Books > Teens > Literature & Fiction > Love & Romance

Since dropping the price of Fateful to 99 cents, Fateful has gone from an overall ranking of 18,000 to the 3,000-5,000. Bouncing around in that range and going higher in the ranking every day. Earlier last week I would pop in and out of the Top 100 in Love & Romance. Then since Friday Fateful seems to have found a way to at least stay in the Top 100 somehow.

Seeing #85 in Books - Love & Romance helped start out my Mother's Day right. I'm so grateful to all those people who have spent money on my book. It may only be 99 cents to them, but to me it's just incredible!!
