It took me 4 years and I was at it every minute. It probably helps having the kids grown and out of the house. Or maybe I type slower.

He sold 10-12 copies the first day, mostly to friends, then another 25-30 to his cruising and golfing network of friends, then finally he gifts another 50-60 copies to those who asked for them. So far, so good.<br /><br />But then, next thing you know, he's sold 3500 books at the end of his first month and was selling 400 books a day! Whoa! How'd that happen?<br /><br />After that, Amazon featured it and did all the work for him, so he starts selling 1000-2000 books a day. Totally understandable. But how exactly did he go from under 100 sales to 3500 in one month?? Something, some event, HAD to trigger such a phenomenal jump.Mike Dennishttp://mikedennisnoir.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511332502155562886.post-1990460837692730652011-08-08T07:09:43.763-04:002011-08-08T07:09:43.763-04:00Thanks, Robin, for continuing to provide informati...Thanks, Robin, for continuing to provide information and analysis on the publishing industry!
