My rank on Amazon for Club Blood is back to 3 figures today. After hovering in the 1,000’s for several days, it’s back down to 686, and it’s number 11, 16, and 16 in categories. (My lowest rank was 454). I usually stay in the top 15 or so in Romantic Suspense. I can’t post my sales from Amazon because of a change in terms which was discussed on Zoe Winters’ blog. So I’ll do like she did and say that I’ve sold almost 1,000 books, but I can’t say what the sources are. June has been by far the best month. I’ve sold 5 times more books in June than in May.
I’ve got to work to be more visible on the internet. For instance, I need to figure out how to draw people to this blog. One of the reasons I don’t post much is because only a couple of people bother to even read it. I need to be more aggressive. I just haven’t figured out how yet. I’ll get there.
Maybe try a different blog layout. Or comment on a bunch of other people’s blogs. And don’t be too agreeable! lolol
I’m starting to comment on more blogs besides yours recently. I probably shouldn’t be doing so much of that while I’m at work, but I don’t have enough to do. 😉
It’s in my nature to be agreeable. Until I get to my breaking point. LOL. I actually got on to some guy on the DTP forum today for always taking Amazon’s side and calling all the authors that were complaining whiners. They were just expressing opinions on the new reporting system. Maybe I should have been meaner. hahahaha
Hi Lauralynn,
I’m a fellow Amazon Kindle writer (HP Mallory) and I wanted to contact you to
let you know about a new indie urban fantasy / paranormal romance site I’ve
launched which I’d love to include you on.
The web address is: http://www.indieurbanfantasy.com
Please note I haven’t added all the indie authors yet so it might look a bit
sparse. I’m hoping to have all of them added by the end of next week. I have my
info in there so you can see page layout and design.
Just a quick background on the site–I did a search trying to find indie authors
in these genres and couldn’t find anything and trying to locate us on Amazon is
a feat verging on the impossible. So, this is my answer! LOL
I have high hopes for the site. In my day job, I work in online marketing and
search engine optimization so I know I can get the site picked up in the search
engines and ranked well which will equate to way more awareness for all of us!
If you are interested, please send me:
Title of your book/s
Summary of each book
Author Bio
Your online sites (website, facebook, etc)
Links to purchase your books
Cover art for each book
Also, if you would like to get more involved with the site (and get top billing
on the site!), I am in need of help! I need the following:
Bloggers
Someone to manage our facebook page
Someone to manage our twitter account
Someone to manage our monthly newsletter
Sorry for the long email! LOL
Hope to include you on the site,
HP
