The KDP Select Experiment: Part 5 - The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

If you haven't read my earlier posts on KDP Select, check out: The KDP Select Experiment: Part 1 - Mission Impossible?, The KDP Select Experiment: Part 2 - Waiting to Exhale, The KDP Select Experiment: Part 3 - Good Will Hunting and The KDP Select Experiment: Part 4 - The Fast & the Furious.

To capsulize, THE RIVER was available FREE on Amazon for January 23/24, while DIVINE INTERVENTION was FREE from January 21-25.

The Good:

THE RIVER - in 2 days on Amazon.com, 20658 people downloaded my thriller for free and have now been exposed to my work. The lowest rank I saw was #10 in overall top "bestsellers" for FREE Kindles, which meant anyone looking on Amazon for free ebooks would have seen my title. It made #1 "bestseller" in 3 categories during the promo time: #1 Technothrillers, #1 Adventure and #1 Action & Adventure. It beat out one of Amanda Hocking's titles. Two new 5-star reviews during this promo.

Foreign Amazons: 1186 (UK), 63 (DE), 2 (FR), 1 (ES), 0 (IT) = 1252 free copies

DIVINE INTERVENTION - in 5 days on Amazon.com, 19787 people downloaded my thriller for free and have now been exposed to my work. The lowest rank: #23 in overall top "bestsellers" for FREE Kindles, which meant anyone looking on Amazon for free ebooks would have seen my title. It made #1 "bestseller" in Police Procedurals and #6 in Women Sleuths.

Foreign Amazons: 1047 (UK), 77 (DE), 5 (FR), 0 (ES), 0 (IT) = 1129 free copies

Total free downloads and new readers reached: 42886.


My two titles now show up on other Kindle ebook pages in the 'Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought' section. More exposure.

I did notice a small surge in sales of Imajin Books (my publishing company) titles by other authors during these promos. It appears that some readers may have purchased one of our other titles after reading one of my books.


The Bad:


THE RIVER - one full day after the promos ended only 20 people borrowed THE RIVER with the new Kindle Owner's Lending Library. As per Amazon's terms, I'll receive a percentage of the $700,000 pool based on how many times my book was borrowed during the month. I expect the payment to be very small as it will be shared between thousands of authors with thousands of ebooks. As I predicted early on, Amazon's example was much higher than I'll receive (and I'm probably not the only author who won't see much.)

DIVINE INTERVENTION - since THE RIVER was more popular, I'm expecting the borrows on DI to  be less. Again I doubt I'll see anywhere near what Amazon gave as an example of income. My guess is I'll get less than $5 for the borrowed books. I'll let you know.

The Ugly:

Some writers have reported a huge surge in sales immediately following their free promo. I recall reading one author's stats where they reported averaging 500 sales per hour for the first few hours. Yeah, not me. Though I went into this experiment with positive thoughts and some expectations, I was not surprised to see my sales of THE RIVER are about what I normally would get. No surge. No obvious sales afterward. I realize this could occur over some time. Not everyone will read their free downloads in a week; some may not open my book for a year or more. But seeing no surge in sales afterward is disappointing. I was hoping to see a noticeable difference.

So was my experiment a success?

I guess that depends on what you consider a success. I consider it a success when over 40,000 new readers discover one of my novels; there's a good chance that many of them will buy one of my other titles. There's also a good chance that many won't buy another of my books because they either a) didn't like my book or b) they only want free ebooks and aren't willing to pay for them. Both reasons are human nature.

I went into this experiment with one main goal: to get exposure to readers. I got that. Of course I'd love to see a huge surge in after-sales, something concrete to point to so I can say with all certainty that KDP Select is the best program for authors and is worth sacrificing other sales channels for. I can't quite say that.

To be fair, I need more time to evaluate this program. A week from now could make a difference and I could see many new reviews and more sales of my other titles. Time will tell if this program is really worth ticking off readers who don't have Kindles or who don't want to shop via Amazon. If I notice a surge in sales, I'll let you know.

If you found my experiment helpful, please consider purchasing THE RIVER, "a gripping combination of suspense, sci-fi and adventure...a cross between Michael Crichton's Timeline and Dan Brown's Angels & Demons," on Amazon for only $2.99.

Or DIVINE INTERVENTION, "a fan of J.D. Robb will thoroughly enjoy this one...a genuinely Canadian crime novel...leave(s) you smoldering," on Amazon for only $2.99.Cheryl Kaye Tardif is a bestselling Canadian suspense author.

The KDP Select Experiment: Part 3 - Good Will Hunting

I'm not sure if you've noticed a subtle theme here in my recent posts: The KDP Select Experiment: Part 1 - Mission Impossible?, The KDP Select Experiment: Part 2 - Waiting to Exhale, and now The KDP Select Experiment: Part 3 - Good Will Hunting. Each post has a movie title in the heading. I love movies. They help me unwind after a long day and they quieten the character voices that are always yelling, "Write my story!" And since my mind works good in movie mode, I thought I'd use them.

Good Will Hunting is a movie about numbers. About a numbers genius. Well, I suck at math and I'm no genius, but I can copy/paste.

So here are the opening numbers on Amazon.com in this experiment:

These are my sales ranks and bestseller standings for the afternoon of January 20th--before I enrolled DIVINE INTERVENTION in KDP Select:

DIVINE INTERVENTION (22 reviews): Rank 16,770 - #26 Paid Bestseller in Books--Canadian Detectives

Here are my numbers on Amazon.com for noon January 21st, 12 hours in:

DIVINE INTERVENTION (22 reviews): Rank 268 - #1 Free Bestseller in Kindle--Police Procedurals (beating out Michael Connelly's free offering) Of course the rank could have been lower any time during the 12 hours.

*DI went out to 2201 readers free, but this is 2201 people who may never have read any of my works before.

**No noticeable influence on actual sales of my other titles.

Here are my foreign stats (Amazon.co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es):

DIVINE INTERVENTION before enrolling in KDP Select:
.co.uk - 10 sales
.de - 0
.fr - 0
.es - 0
.it - 0

12 hours after Select went live with free promo:
co.uk - 10 sales + 172 free.de - 28 free.fr - 1 free
.es - 0 free
.it - 0 free

This means that just over 2400 people will read DIVINE INTERVENTION. If they enjoy it, many will buy DIVINE JUSTICE. Some will buy my other titles. The question is: will these sales really make it worth giving up distribution via Smashwords, Apple, BN, Sony, Diesel, for these 2 ebooks?

During the day I monitored my stats for DIVINE INTERVENTION on Amazon.com a few times. Here are my stats for DAY 1 of the free promo:

Noon: rank 268, #1 Police Procedural, 2201 free copies
2 PM: rank 181, #1 Police Procedural, (I forgot to write down total of free copies)
4 PM: rank 165, #1 Police Procedural, (ditto)
7 PM: rank 48 (made Top 100 FREE Kindles), #1 Police Procedural, 6249 free copies
9 PM: rank 28 (ditto), #1 Police Procedural, 7429 free copies

DIVINE INTERVENTION is FREE from January 21-25. Get your FREE copy today.


Stay tuned for more stats tomorrow..

The KDP Select Experiment: Part 2 - Waiting to Exhale

Yesterday I wrote about Part 1 of my Mission Impossible/KDP Select experiment. Keep reading for info on a FREE ebook offer.

For non-writers who aren't familiar with this, it's a special program that Amazon just launched. Unfortunately it has caused some controversy in the book industry and not all authors, publishers, distributors are happy. Since I'm both an author and a publisher, I feel compelled to explore this program to make a more educated evaluation of what it can (or can't) do for me or other authors.

KDP Select gives writers a few enticing perks: a share in a now $700,000 (was raised from $500,000 recently) pool if authors' books are borrowed in the new Kindle Owners Lending Library; an opportunity to list an ebook for free for a short promotion (1-5 days total within a 90-day period); and the chance at making more bestsellers lists and sales.

The downside is that authors have to give up all other distribution for these books and only sell via Amazon. Readers get perks too: they can borrow books indefinitely and there are some other perks. Overall, most readers probably won't really notice or care about this program, other than the lending/borrowing aspect.

After making my decision to enroll a book or two, I decided to use two existing titles--DIVINE INTERVENTION and THE RIVER. The only problem was they were both distributed via Smashwords, which then distributed them to Apple, Kobo Books, Diesel, Sony, and B&N.

So  here are the steps and timeline I had to go through:

1. I made my decision to try KDP Select on January 6, 2012.
2. On Jan. 7, I held my breath and unpublished DIVINE INTERVENTION and THE RIVER from Smashwords.
3. I noticed that on January 14, both titles were gone from Kobo Books. The other retailers still listed the ebooks. So I held my breath and waited some more.
4. On Jan. 18, I noticed Barnes and Noble had removed the Nook editions.
5. The others were removed Jan 19 and 20.
6. I enrolled both books in KDP Select program mid-afternoon, Jan. 20.

So based on my experiences, it took 2 weeks to get my books deleted from these retailers. I was worried it would take much longer. I'm not sure I could have held my breath any longer.

The next thing I had to do was remove excerpts, so I followed these steps:

1. I removed both excerpts from my website.
2. I removed excerpts from my blogs (3).
3. I searched writing sites I frequented like Authors Den for excerpts and removed any there.
4. I googled my book titles and "excerpt" and went through many pages to see where else I may have placed an excerpt. And I deleted any I found.

Once all these steps were completed, I exhaled. Whew! The excerpt steps were a bit of a pain and I'm worried I may have missed one, but hopefully if I did Amazon will be decent enough to let me know so I can remove it. I'd hate to think they'd delete DIVINE INTERVENTION and THE RIVER from KDP Select just because an excerpt is floating around in cyberspace. But that's one of their rules. No excerpts. Personally, I think that's a stupid rule. Excerpts help sell books...doh!

Okay, so now I guess you'd like to know about the FREE ebook I promised. Well, from today, January 21 to 25, you can get DIVINE INTERVENTION in Kindle edition FREE. Just go to: http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Intervention-series-ebook/dp/B003AYEJSC

Tomorrow I'll report some numbers. I doubt I'll see much change this early on, but at least you'll know where I started from so you can compare it with wherever I end up. Check back tomorrow or follow my blog. Also, please follow me on Twitter. @cherylktardif or http://www.twitter.com/cherylktardif  and you should see tweets reminding you to check my blog.

The KDP Select Experiment: Part 1 - Mission Impossible?

On December 21 I blogged about the huge carrot Amazon was dangling in front of authors--the opportunity to share in a $500,000 pool via the new KDP Select program. I mentioned that I wasn't happy with some of the conditions of this program or with Amazon's obvious ploy to monopolize the industry. Regardless of the smile on my face in the pic to the left, I don't like being backed into a corner. However, I recognize from a business perspective they're doing what most successful businesses attempt to do--destroy the competition.

The exclusivity clause still bothers me, even now that I have enrolled two of my titles into the program. It bothers me that those with other ereaders outside of the Kindle won't have access to these two titles--DIVINE INTERVENTION and THE RIVER. But from a business perspective I'd be remiss in my duties to completely ignore or overlook what Amazon is offering. I still think Amazon could have taken away the exclusivity clause and still have a ton of interest. It would have been "fair" to everyone else. But big business rarely ever plays fair.

On January 6 I clarified my thoughts about KDP Select after more consideration. Yes, I was drawn to the program. It IS enticing. Yes, I still don't like all the terms. But I decided to test KDP Select. I've always been a risk-taker. I'm not one to sit back and wait forever. I'm also not one to drink the Kool-Aid and blindly follow like a lemming diving off a cliff. I took a few days to investigate, to read other people's opinions and experiences, and to understand all the pros and cons.

As an author, I owe it to myself to see if Select really has anything to offer me--or if the program is just too good to be true. As a publisher I owe it to my authors to experiment with my own books before making changes with theirs.

I had to plan what exactly I would do to experiment with Select, and which books I'd use. My choices were: a.) submit a new manuscript that hadn't yet been published, or b.) remove a book or two from my other distribution chains and enroll them in KDP Select. Since I don't have a new completed work ready, I opted for option b.

I selected 2 of my titles that have been doing well in sales but weren't my top bestsellers. DIVINE INTERVENTION is book 1 in a paranormal suspense series, and THE RIVER is a techno-thriller that is very similar in plot to the new TV series that's airing in February, also called THE RIVER. I also chose DI because if my experiment goes well and I see a huge increase in sales, then book 2--DIVINE JUSTICE--should see a sales spike afterward.

Over the next few weeks, I'll report on my experiment here so you can follow my journey. We'll find out if this is a Mission Impossible experiment or a Mission Possible. This way you'll have a good idea of what to expect if you decide to do what I've done and pull books out of other distribution.

My next post will deal with this process, letting you know how long it took before Smashwords, Kobo Books, Diesel and others stopped selling my ebooks. I hope you'll check back here tomorrow.

I never said Amazon's KDP Select wasn't enticing :-)

This is an update to my earlier post about Amazon's new KDP Select program.

I'm not one to blindly drink the Kool-Aid, but I'm also not one to pass on a possible opportunity. Now that I've had time to investigate this program and read what others have to say (pros and cons), I thought I'd clarify a few things.

I still don't agree with the exclusivity clause; I think Amazon should remember that not everyone owns or wants a Kindle ereader. But I AM glad that this exclusivity is short-termed. This allows authors to test the waters. Those who see great results may stay in the program; those who don't will leave.

Anyone who knows me knows that I've always been a risk-taker. I don't shy away from taking the plunge into uncharted waters, but I do my homework and investigate everything carefully. I like to be informed.

I know there are pluses to this program. That's always been a given. If authors are paid more, that's great. If a book makes a top 100 list, and sells thousands as a result of this program, even better.

I never said Amazon was stupid. :-) Though I don't like or agree with their tactics, this program is something to be tested. Since it's a short-term (3 months), there's less risk. My biggest concern is alienating readers who don't own a Kindle. But as an author trying to get my name out there among an overcrowded pool, I've decided I WILL test these waters, but only with one or two of my titles.

Always do your homework and read the fine print. Then if you think it'll work for you, take the risk.
