    Amazon visibility for new books.

    PUBLISHING 
    Drop it. There's a price elasticity on the books, so it might squeeze some more sales out of it. Once it crosses to a certain sales-rank, then put it back. You'll get a couple more, hopefully.

    Did you get the level of sales that you wanted with your first book? If so, can you give figures and genre (if you dont mind)

    Thanks! You might not have picked a good genre as I read about in a KDP discussion. And I would throw out being creative for now. Instead, try building the skills of a book "modeller." My first 10 books were just practice on how to write this way. I tried to be creative on some of my books, and...

    Lesson for the kittteeeeehs. I thought i'd pull a Slick Rick by using the excerpts to increase my word-count. But Amazon caught it. The result was a broken look-inside hook which showed only half of what I wanted.

    If you can determine entry URL to the purchase of his book (ie. which book in amazon browsed before making a sale) If you can determine that, you can determine a whole bunch of Amazon-locked information. How many people viewed your book, if they checked the sample, how long they stayed, which...

    What Would Be a Valuable Newsletter for Authors?

    PUBLISHING 
    I'm particularly interested in using software to make the determination in selecting which genre and book. So to answer your thread. One word: Analytics. There's a dearth of information on that. "Analytics for Authors" or something like that. There's this analytics problem that is the holy-grail...

    I forgot to add. If anytime this venture nets me $1k a month, i'll be approaching the most intimidating girl here in this cafe. She's intimidating because she's uber-pretty. She comes in here with her kid sister. I think I she's a med student bc I saw a stethoscope peering from her bag. So to...

    The future. It’s not rocket science what I need to do next. I’ll write more on the genre that is selling for me. I think there’s mental component now attached to this, especially with that spiking book in the background. Nothing has to change. I need to be as hungry as I was as when I first...

    I’ll ignore the “spike” book for now as I report on my June numbers. I’m sharing this bc @ctcrompton shared his, and I thought it was a neat thing to do, so if want to talk about your numbers please take this lead. The information helps us newbies. I remember when I started this venture...

    I don't know man. I think it has the same effect as coffee. I mean after working out for the 365th time, you're gonna be needing something than just the desire to grow big muscles. That's where magazines, forums, and all the other stuff comes in. Or put a poster of a hot chick or the body that...

    So i'm going to pretend that this did not happen. And work on book 9. Maybe it's a one day lucky draw. If I can do it this once, then maybe one in the one hundred books that I have to write to reach HFR or chickenhawk levels will be a breakout. Not paying attention to KDP now.. Not paying...

    So one of my books spiked up to 25 sales today (my prior record was 8 sales), after being out for a day. I'm not sure what to do at this point.. should I be doing something? I didn't expect it to get that much sales to be honest. :wideyed:
