#16 Boosting Sales – Changes to back matter
Today day is July 14th. Yesterday, I went in and revisited a conversion post from Skye Warren. Let me back up... In each of my Rebel Lords of London books I have a chapter for the next book. What I feel I've learned is this: the chapter for the next book is too much...
#15 Boosting Sales – June Totals Overview
Happy 4th! An overview for the month of June. It was a decent month. The good news is that I’m in the green when it comes to advertising versus royalties. A couple of significant promos pushed by downloads through the roof, as I’ve reported. From $8.27 on the first...
#14 Boosting Sales – Pre Jul Newsletter numbers
I ran two promos outside my AMZ and FB in the past few days. Here are the results: BookRebel - Jun 24 ($20) Book Cave - Jun 26 ($46) After the Freebooksy / Red Feather Romance promos where I did indeed made my money back, plus some, I'm more calm about these other two...
#13 Boosting Sales – update
This week has been a nice surprise ON AMAZON. There are issues with Apple's trend reporting, so I'm unable to update my sales and downloads, however, the trend on Apple was following Amazon where I was netting approximately $50 a day. Meaning, I was making more than I...
#12 Boosting Sales – surprise jump
Yesterday, I noticed something odd. Print sales. This is a chart of my print sales for the month of June. First, I never really have print sales. Second, there were six on the 20th alone! I had a meeting this morning and my meeting partner said it was TikTok. That...
#11 Boosting Sales – What going wide can tell you
As you know, I was occupied by the Regency Fiction Writer's conference the last three days. I was still able to track my numbers on everything but Apple. There was an issue with their reporting. I'm happy to say that today it was back and was able to go back and fill...

#10 Boosting Sales – Promo Updates; Amazon
Update on the Freebooksy / Red Feather Romance promos: June 15th. To say I'm disappointed in the conversion with these promos is an understatement. However, the downloads for TEE are still strong, and I'm also out of the red by $26. Over time, sales should convert, if...
#9 Boosting Sales – Freebooksy / Red Feather Romance update
These two promo sites were not worth the money with one caveat. I ran a Freebooksy promo, paying the extra for the series, in February, and made my $230 back within a day. I didn't do that this time because it was the same book: TEE. As of today, this is the most...
#8 Boosting Sales – Freebooksy / Red Feather Romance update
Yesterday, the promo ran for Freebooksy and Red Feather Romance. The results, thus far, are disappointing. Since the book I'm advertising is free, to be fair, the promos did what they were supposed to do. Just note that D2d is mostly used for libraries, and the PO...
