Sales Day: Keys to Kindle sales, part 3.

Hey, guess what? Remember that bit at the end of the 1.October post here about "What can the author do?" about pushing Amazon to list his book higher? Yeah, that's what we are trying TODAY ONLY.

KINDLE COUNTDOWN SALE for Remember When. 18.Oct 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. PDT 99 cents! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HF7MTKM #Amazon
#Kindledeals You can gift a copy at this price, too!

This is what is being pushed out on the Social Media platforms. Stay tuned; I'll be adding to this post later in the day about what happens!

90 minutes left to go, got some 3rd-order referrals and Organic Sales out of this, which is huge. Signal Boosting efforts were not orchestrated today, so I've only seen a few people Retweeting or Sharing the announcement around... but hey, people have priorities. I'm happy with any support that happens.

Early peak was into the double digits of Ranking on Kindle Short Reads (our best genre listing) but slipped to #119 by 1900hrs PDT (2 hours left in the Sale).

Here's hoping for a good "after dinner" close to this!

Nope, no tail to it. Did 80% of the action on the Countdown Sale in the first 4 hours, now that I can see the actual numbers on the day. That's a bit of a downer, but here's something in the opposite direction: upon chasing down some of those referrals ("I'll buy it then! Tell me when the Sale starts."), some of them didn't. Will be coming back and buying later, and well, 3 bucks and shame is about the same as 1 buck from my perspective...

So when those numbers in total are looked at now, we actually did better than expected on what can only be Organic sales. Certainly more than the expected handful. I'm very pleased. Thank you all who helped, and welcome to new readers!
