Sales of Raw Vengeance after week 1

With week one over with, I thought I'd share with you how sales are going.  I'm still shooting for one hundred by the end of the year, but that doesn't seem realistic.  As it sits, Amazon is blasting the competition.  My ranking during the first twenty-four hours in Amazon went as high as 8,500.  Unfortunately, it's already past 100,000 (already in obscurity).  Here goes the numbers:

Amazon's Kindle:  18
B&N's Nook:  0
Smashwords (iTunes, Kobo, Sony): 0  This number doesn't count because Smashwords takes forever to approver formatting.  It's much more fussy than the others.

What do these numbers mean?  For a newbie novelist these are actually quite good.  In talks with other writers, most people only sell 4-8 copies their first month.  I'm three times that in one week so I'm ahead of the curve.  Obviously, with a 35% commission I've only made just over $5.50—enough for a really expense coffee and a bagel.

What's next?  Promote, promote, etc. I've sent quarries to newspapers, blogs, and others for reviews.  It's all about word of mouth.

I'm also working on my next novel, Kingdom of Rage.  I have over 70,000 words written (235 pages), but I'm having a case of writer's block because it's been three months since I've really sat down with it and focused.  There's a few scenes that I need consultation with but I'm confident that the end product will be awesome.

One last note:  would the 18 folks with a copy be so kind as to submit their review on Amazon?  As I said earlier, sales are all about spreading the good word.  Trust me, I need all the support I can get.

Thanks so much!
