message 901: by Chris (new)

Chris Hackett | 22 comments Kate and Gary: both of yours are liked and tagged! Gary...I think I'm actually going to buy yours. Sounds exceptional. How are sales?

Thanks Trevor. I've done yours as well.

Gary Ballard (gary_ballard) | 54 comments Chris,

Sales on the first two books in the series have been good and steadily rising. I sold over 200 for the first time last month. The new book has only sold a few yet, but I'm still getting the word out.


message 904: by Chris (new)

Chris Hackett | 22 comments That's better than me gary. How have you been advertising? I need some tips.


message 905: by Gary (new)

Gary Ballard (gary_ballard) | 54 comments Goodreads, the Amazon boards (mostly the Shameless Self-Promotion type threads), and tagging, plus the social media things like Twitter. Getting reviews, especially from well-known bloggers like Red Adept are worth their weight in gold.


message 906: by Chris (new)

Chris Hackett | 22 comments I'm trying to get some reviews. I've also been on threads and stuff, but am a bit shy about the shameless promotion stuff. I guess I gotta get over that. I'm trying hard!

Good luck man. Keep up the good work.

Mary Ting (maryting) | 52 comments Treavor,

message 910: by Chris (new)

Chris Hackett | 22 comments Mary that is a great idea! Do we vote by category?

I'm not sure how the lists work yet.


message 911: by Mary (new)

Mary Ting (maryting) | 52 comments When you log on the link, it automatically takes you there. I'm on 12....Yikes!!! When it is checked off, you know that you have voted. Yes, I would like if you could vote for all 12 :) Let me know :) Always, no pressure. Glad to help


message 912: by Chris (new)

Chris Hackett | 22 comments Sure, I'll vote right now. How do I get mine on lists?


message 913: by Chris (new)

Chris Hackett | 22 comments I think I figured it out. Vote for mine in these lists using this link!

And if you have the time recommend me for any others you see fit!


message 914: by Mary (new)

Mary Ting (maryting) | 52 comments Chris,

I voted for you in all except What to read next. I'm really having difficult time finding you. If you can tell me your page number, it would make it easier.


message 915: by Kate (new)

Kate | 58 comments Thanks Mary, Chris, Trevor & Gary. I'm just off to do yours now, Gary. Trevor, can you post your links in again? In fact, it might be helpful if people can post their links often so that people (like me) can easily find and tag them!

Mary, what's this voting??

I've just added my other books!

Cheers

What it could do is result in Amazon making it tougher for authors to sell. This is nothing less than vandalism similar to a juvenile mentality spray painting the side of a bookstore. It has no effect on book rankings nor does it influence purchasing decisions by prospective readers - except to perhaps scare them away.
Amazon tags are intended to guide buyers searching for specific genres.


message 937: by Kate (new)

Kate | 58 comments As I understand it, Larry, tagging does have an indirect effect on book rankings in that the more a book is tagged the more visible it is ergo the greater potential for sales. I'm happy to be corrected if anyone knows otherwise

message 946: by Kate (new)

Kate | 58 comments Elle, I'm still not getting your tags on Amazon.uk. Is it on Amazon.uk you've done them? If it's on Amazon.com they won't show up on Amazon.uk, you have to do those separately and sometimes they disappear altogether
