Day Three, Progress.

So I posted to 42 separate Facebook groups yesterday and got . . . wait for it . . . 17 downloads. Ok, so it isn’t exactly a smash hit but for a sixty-odd page sequel to a pretty much unknown novel I don’t think I can be too disappointed. Now, the question is, how […]

Day Two, Better But Slow Going.

Day two got a total of 10 downloads, 8 in the USA and 2 in the UK. Better than Day One but not exactly a rip roaring success, to use a publishing cliche. So, what now? I put my advert on 38 different Facebook groups and a couple of Goodreads forums yesterday, today I shall […]

Day One Free, I Didn’t Think That Through!

Day one of my second free promotion of Chasing The Future kicked off yesterday, this time trying making it free on Wednesday to Friday. My aim was to test out whether the theory that Friday and Saturday get higher downloads was true and whether higher free downloads lead to higher sales afterwards. A good theory […]

Free Stuff!

JUST PUBLISHED & FREE WEDNESDAY 30th JULY, THURSDAY 31st JULY AND FRIDAY 1st AUGUST! Out now, the sequel to Sovereign Nation – Chasing The Future by C. T. Brown: The future – Is the future of weapons technology hidden inside a flintlock pistol that once belonged to Benedict Arnold? The future – Will the Americans […]

More Free Promotion!

Well the theory was that free books on Wednesday and Thursday would result in sales on Friday and Saturday as many people claim they are the best days for downloads. It didn’t seem to work that way for me so time to try something else. This time I am going to put Chasing The Future […]

KDP Pricing Support Beta

Just found out about this new tool on the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing site so I thought I’d give it a go. Apparently all my books are under-priced and at the wrong royalty level, I can earn 205% more money with 50% fewer sales by raising the price. Ok, I’ll give that a go then. […]

Promoting Your Book For Free

How to promote a book on a budget of zero? Well, so far that is pretty much what I have been doing so here we go. I should say that I did try one paid promotion – the Awesome Gang $10 promotion – and got exactly 2 sales for the 2 days it ran. One […]

Amazon Kindle Free Promotion

On Wednesday and Thursday I put the second story in my series about the Carters up on Amazon for free. The theory behind these two day promotions is that most sales are on a Friday and Saturday, the free promotions move you up the rankings and get attention that translates into sales. So, what were […]

Free stuff!

JUST PUBLISHED & FREE WEDNESDAY 23rd THURSDAY 24th JULY! Out now, the sequel to Sovereign Nation – Chasing The Future by C. T. Brown: The future – Is the future of weapons technology hidden inside a flintlock pistol that once belonged to Benedict Arnold? The future – Will the Americans or the Chinese find the […]

Word counts.

Ok, so I have just published my second book in The Carters series and I’m trying some promotion on it – more on that once I see what the results are. What I thought I would share is the progress in writing it, obviously everything was delayed and messed with by various issues but here […]
