June 30th 7am: Woo! Hoo! I checked Amazon.com this morning and I finally have a sales rank.
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #55,395 in Books
Someone finally bought a copy!! Now, according to several websites I Googled, this is a pretty broad spectrum. It’s an average of 1 to 100 copies sold per week. Let’s hope it continues to rise!
June 30th 2pm: Well, I’m not a happy camper right now. I called Ingram while at work today and my book is carrying a 15% discount across the board. So, the chances of a store ordering it on a whim, without a special order up front, because they received a marketing kit or postcard is very slim. That’s only $2.10 off the list as opposed to $5.60 off if they were getting a 40% discount. I was hoping for at least 20%. Oh! And we’ve slipped to #93,666 on the Amazon rank.
By the way, for those who loved my book cover so much, thank you! I’m now accepting orders from anyone who wants my assistance with their Lulu book cover. After spending so much on the BookCover Pro program, I’ve been antsy to put it to some more good use and maybe recoup my investment. So, email me direct or post a comment below if you are interested in my help. I’m charging $50.00 for a full cover: front, back and spine. Payable through snail mail (check or money order) or through Paypal online. That’s a steal considering some who charge $850 out there. yeah, I’m not trying to make a ton of money from this. I’m trying to assist other Lulu authors to put their best book forward.
Any takers?
June 30th 9pm: B&N loaded the synopsis (finally) at some point today after 3pm. I also just drew the winner for the free signed copy I am giving away tomorrow on my blog. Congrats to Gary Ellis.
