I have an overall ranking in the paid kindle stare in the 2,000s and am in the top 100 in horror and contemporary fantasy. Thanks for letting me know. Though I requested to be on those two sites, I didn't see that I was. I missed it.Epertasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201264771630506520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-73629967279637063352012-04-18T03:14:48.762-04:002012-04-18T03:14:48.762-04:00I also noticed that Tamed was featured on Pixel of...I also noticed that Tamed was featured on Pixel of Ink and Ereader News Today on those days. (I noticed because I did a giveaway on one of the same days you did.) I will say that the #1 factor that is the difference between me getting 200 downloads and 5000-15000 downloads on a giveaway day is being featured at one of those two sites.India Drummondhttp://www.indiadrummond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-2741204955869214162012-04-17T14:13:43.650-04:002012-04-17T14:13:43.650-04:00Thanks, Tiffany.
Michelle- I know you did well. Yo...Thanks, Tiffany.<br />Michelle- I know you did well. You were my inspiration for trying it. I know some of my tactics helped me get some downloads but as I said at the beginning of the blog, there is little the author can do. Maybe my promoting helped, maybe not. I'm sure the downloads it got me were in the hundreds at best, not thousands. Amazon did the rest. But who knows if that little extra pushed me over the edge. You're right about short stories, I think, but who knows what will take off.<br />Lindsay, that's great to hear. I hope you continue to have success.Epertasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201264771630506520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-5020977572412897552012-04-17T13:50:33.140-04:002012-04-17T13:50:33.140-04:00I put up a WWI historical romance for the 5 days s...I put up a WWI historical romance for the 5 days straight and got over 1900 downloads and am getting people to buy it now.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716003019499843582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653289895722362588.post-3980507434528483242012-04-17T12:32:45.859-04:002012-04-17T12:32:45.859-04:00Oh, and I also wanted to say that my short story c...Oh, and I also wanted to say that my short story collection, TRUE COLORS, was up free for 7 days at one point (not through KDP Select), and it had like 700 downloads or something. That was a failure for me even though I wasn't the one who made it free (not on purpose). I just don't think short stories have a huge audience, so you shouldn't feel bad about that at all.Michelle D.

I mentioned it on FB and Twitter once, I think, and sent out an email to friends and family, but that was all I did and had similar success. I've had too much exposure to people getting overwhelmed by "free free free" all the time, so I wanted to keep it low-key on my end.Michelle D.
