Ads and Sales- Book Launch

So I unfortunately had to launch with no customer reviews and 1 editorial review on day 1 of the book launch. I’m going to post the results of the book launch regarding ad spend and results for each day.

Note- As of right now I’m launching with a 4 star editorial review from Self-published reviews (a buddy site for Kirkus) and no customer reviews.

Pre-launch day– The same day as the editorial review, I received 22 page reads and no sales.

Day 1–

Total sales- 1

Page reads- 0

Bookbub–

[image error][image error]Amazon– No stats showing yet and no sales as far as I know.

Bknights– Looks like I might have gotten 1 sale from this newsletter promo. I spent extra for a bonus service, but for just the newsletter promo it’s about $7.

Day 2–

Note- I got 2 customer reviews today towards the end of the day.

Total Sales- 1 (thank you writing community on Twitter)

Page reads- 36

Ads running

Bookbubs

Amazon- only had 8 impressions and no ad spend…weird.

Conclusion so far– For me the best way to get sales has just been being a part of a writing community and being confident and excited about your story. I will let you know if the newsletter ads work out better, but so far Amazon and Bookbubs was wasted money for me ads wise.

Day 3–

Sales- 0

Page reads- 1

Amazon Ads– 13 impressions/ no clicks or sales

Bookbubs Ads– Spent about 6 dollars so far. 7 clicks and no sales.

Day 4–

Note– I have 3 different 4 star reviews from customers now.

Sales- 1

Page reads- 0

Promotion on Fiver through Dracosama- Ad spend- $7

Amazon- $0 (Not really getting impressions, clicks, or sales from Amazon.)

Day 5–
