For Love or Legacy went up on Amazon and Smashwords on Saturday night - how did it do?
On Amazon it went from (Sunday #767 on Kindle Store to Friday #181) (Contemporary Romance #16) I'm a numbers nut...so I'll share them .....at #767 I had 141 downloads. Today at #181 I have 1,344 sales. I've been averaging 200-250 sales per day. What does that mean in terms of money? Since the book is $2.99...and the profit at that price is 70%... get about $2 per book. At this rate, my book should pull in $3,000 for its first week out.
My first contest was tiny, but I think it was successful. I only had 2 entrants in the actual contest but many people wrote to me and said that although they did not want to be in the contest they would promote my book. Interesting. Trust me, I'm grateful, but I'm not sure what it means. Was my contest too complicated? I going to host another next week and simplify it. I'll tell you how it goes.
