Someone commented on an old post I wrote back on 22 Sept 2010 and I re-read the post so I could reply to his comment. Apparently I was selling 50 books per month back then. Well, as of some months ago I was at 800, then 600, now on track for 750 in October. The [...]

Ebooks 5 Years Ago
Posted on 25 September 2011.
Joe Konrath is one of the authors at the forefront of the ebook revolution. How did he get there? By working his ass numb at the typewriter / computer and getting printed in 2001. He then worked his feet numb by doing many book signings across the country. Now? He is sharing tips for how [...]

Facebook Getting Into Ebook Publishing?
Posted on 02 August 2011.
Facebook just bought a company that turns paper books into digital ebooks. Here I don’t know about you – but, since Google Books isn’t doing squat for me, and Yahoo is fading away – I’d LOVE to have another channel for selling ebooks. Facebook is giant – the first authors that get in there with [...]

Did Your Amazon Sales Drop Off?
Posted on 23 June 2011.
Apparently a LOT of people had that happen. J Konrath said he thinks it happened “across the board”. No, it didn’t – mine actually jumped considerably from last month – without having any new books in the pool to choose from. I am on track for about 29 books per day at the moment. That’s [...]

Give Away 120,000 eBooks or Sell 7,000?
Posted on 30 April 2011.
Is it better to give away your ebooks for free – or sell them? Before we started selling ebooks on our own sites, and then at Amazon, Apple, Sony, Barnes, and the rest of them – we gave them away. We had a couple of books that just went viral – and, in total, we’ve [...]

Another Month of Book Sales
Posted on 31 March 2011.
Well, without going into specifics – we’re doing well. Amazon is holding well, and increasing. Sales at other ebook sites are increasing, and we’re starting to distribute more books to them as well. Our own ebook sites did really well during March, sometimes outselling distributors other than Amazon. So, the ebook world is well. The [...]

Another Amazon Kindle Book Sales Increase in February
Posted on 01 March 2011.
It was slight – but, we did go over January’s sales – on a per day basis – which is a great thing considering Apple is screwing up all of our sales with the Kindle. If Apple had their shit straight – who’s telling what would happen to sales. Not just for me – for [...]

Feb and Jan Book Sales Same
Posted on 27 February 2011.
This article is only regarding Amazon Kindle book sales – no other channels. On a books sold per day basis – January and February numbers are now (finally) the same. For a while we were down by a couple per day, but I revised the descriptions on some books, and did some other magic – [...]

Selling Ads in Your Kindle Ebooks
Posted on 24 February 2011.
I’ve been thinking about this a little bit. I have a friend that has a business that would go right along with the topic of one of my ebooks. If I sold a lot of them, it would be worth it to have my recommendation in the book – to refer people to him. I’d [...]

The 99 cent Ebook as Ad for Your $2.99 Ebook
Posted on 23 February 2011.
One thing I have wanted to try is pricing a book at 99 cents – virtually free, and attract many buyers… and in that book have some ads showing my other – better book with a very similar topic – for $2.99. Or that 2nd book could be priced even higher… but, I’m starting with [...]

Mike Fook Book Sales Are Back Up – How Did I Do It?
Posted on 21 February 2011.
Sales went down at Amazon Kindle by about 2 books per day for the first dozen days of February. I figured it was due to the nuttiness of Apple’s new policy for Amazon books. Amazon now needs to make books buyable in the iTunes store, and give Apple 30% – if Amazon wants to be [...]

Amazon Kindle Sales Fell Off – Anyone Else?
Posted on 11 February 2011.
Sales are falling now on Amazon. Is it a direct result of the Apple-Kindle fiasco? Apparently Apple has killed the ability for iPhone / iPad users to buy the Amazon Kindle books using the browser, unless the feature is also available inside the iBookstore application. Or something like that – not clear on what the [...]
