Early results - ad convergence
To get as much momentum as possible, I placed ads for Sky1 - Foundation at .99 with Kindle Nation, eReader News in addition to the superhuge Bookbub ad.
Woke up this morning about 6am and checked sales. Nothing. 30 mins later a blip. Something must have gone live. Not bookbub, but one of the other two. Checked five mins later and the total had doubled. Wow. Now, in the past 45 minutes sales are already almost even with the entire year's worth of sales for this book. And this is just the warm-up.
Ok. Yes. A bit of gloating. But my God writing is a solitary effort. Years of being locked away, writing, re-writing. Creating worlds in my mind. Characters who I've lived with so long they feel like friends I used to know. So taking a moment of true appreciation feels warranted.
So now I can go deal with the soccer parents today (re: previous post). Life is not dull!
