I might be a millionaire!!

As you all know, this week my first book "Work out, lose weight, and stop being single" was finally released on the kindle (free with amazon prime :)

I went ALL out this week marketing and promoting, and today I finally decided to take a break.

After dinner I signed on to check my amazon ranking and I was in SHOCK! My numbers had skyrocked on Kindle, and I had surpassed the classic "Make her chase you" by about 5,000 in ranking!

I immediately tried to sign into my kindle account, and for some reason it kept freezing.

AHA! I had broken the site down!

I showed it to my friend and he replied "You idiot, Tynan's book came out in 2008! Your's is only one week old"

That is true.  It's like outboxing Muhammad Ali, it doesn't really count anymore.

But anyway, it must be a good sign that my kindle account was frozen.

 

To be continued...

I recently published a book in the German Amazon store and am really curious about the size of the US market in comparison. Can you roughly share with us how many books you actually sell per day? (range is ok). Would be awesome! Also congrats, sounds like your book was a success!

By the way: I found out about a little "hack" for the kindle description. I was able to add Images via HTML and even to embed a YouTube video! Its been this way since 4 weeks, so far no reaction from Amazon, so I assume its ok for now. If anyones interested Im happy to help

I would also be interested to know how you marketed it?

@Florian I've been averaging a couple kindle sales a day, between 5 and 10.  I had a couple good days where I had like 15.  I took Tynan's advice and priced it at $2.99 to build up my sales.  I'd rather get my name out there for my 2nd book, instead of trying to nickle and dime everyone.  Too many authors are stubborn with their profit margins

@Sam Marketing is everything.  I was already contributing to some forums, and I have a blog, but over the next couple mnths I am going to try to step it up.

People don't think I'm serious, but I plan on putting out about 10 thousand flyers around NYC soon...

It is focused on consolidating the over-abundance of contradictory material on diet and training in regards to bodybuilding down to about 50 pages. I did a lot of research into scientific journals and learned a lot in the process. Anywho, we should blog about each others books, couldnt hurt. Send me a message if you are interested!
