#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...
#1 Romancing My Goals – per Zoe York
This week I am in a conference, and one of the best workshops has been Zoe York's Romancing Your Goals. I will be implementing her ideas beginning sometime next week. In the meantime, here are links to her books in regards to this method in taking things to the next...
#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...
#7a Boosting Sales – Upping your reviews/ratings – OPPORTUNITIES
This is a side post to a comment from Barb Bettis on the previous post regarding the number of reviews and ratings. So, I thought I would comment on ways you accomplish this, too. Before I pulled Enchanting the Earl, (and this was difficult) there were 1,077...
#7 Boosting Sales – short update: Freebooksy & Red Feather Romance promos
The update for yesterday morning's negative royalties ended up being usurped by a flurry of sales that has to be directly related to the ads added to the TEE 3 ad on Facebook. It went from -$1.06 to a positive $33.22. Overall, that has given me 2x my investment...
#6 Boosting Sales – What goes up must come down… Sad, but true.
But, then, over time, the opposite should be true as well. So... yesterday's sales were, to say the least, disappointing, and today's projection? Even worse. As I mentioned before, I include all book sales under the umbrella. However, when one of the Cinderella series...
#5 Boosting Sales – If downloads are down and sales are up…
The day before yesterday there were over 400 downloads of TEE. Yesterday there were 158, yet sales went from $18 to $42 over the past three days. (I include all books since I'm only advertising TEE). So, how are readers finding the other books? Through my author name...
