AMAZON/KINDLE BEST SELLER
I see that I am at number 1,205,646
In the Amazon/Kindle best-seller list
Again
Last week I was at number 650,249
And the previous week 233,184
Or was that the week before?
I don’t think I have got into the top 100
Yet
I like to see the wild fluctuations in the list
Thousands of points variation
Mean lots of sales, innit?
Though I must confess
It puzzles me a little bit
Because according to Amazon’s
Own – very reliable – sales chart
I sold no books at all last week
And only one all last month
So Amazon/Kindle
Here’s my conclusion
You must be one cupid stunt
sales
EBOOKS GROW ON TREES
Oh yeah? And I flew over the cuckoo’s nest last night!
It’s a strange title; actually it’s a website, where you can promote your ebooks. For a fee, naturally. One day costs 20 bucks; 5 days 60 bucks. 5 days sounds a good deal, huh; that way you only lose 12 bucks a day!
Obiously you don’t promote the book yourself, they do the promoting for you;
1…Book featured on the eBooks GROW ON TREES website
2…Book featured in the eBooksGOT Newsletter, emailed daily 3…Book mentioned on Twitter, daily
4…Book mentioned on Facebook, daily
Hmm…a couple of those you could do yourself, so in theory you could save yourself 50% of your outlay!
Now, selling prices; you have 3 options; FREE, 99c, $2.99
Hmm…I’m going to run that by myself one more time; let’s say I choose the FREE option for 5 days; say I sell 100 books during that period.
total outlay $60….total returns $0.00
Even with the 99c option you are going to have to sell over 60 books just to break even
Yeah, that’s a good deal – a sure-fire winner. OR IS IT LOSER
PERHAPS IT SHOULD BE RE-NAMED THE MONEY TREE!
