For several thousand readers, it was almost as if book 1 came out 2 months ahead of book 2. This is a super exciting discovery for us which is why we posted about it. This is a powerful technique to add to the arsenal. We'll happily do this again. If not with the KBD, then with Bookbub. If not with Bookbub, then with a heavily promoted count-down deal, etc...<br /><br />It would be nice if Amazon let pre-orders count on the first day. The point I was trying to make here is that, while we didn't get that bonus, we weren't penalized by lower first-day sales either. There is an opportunity cost there of course, but IMO no other vendor has an offer so good as what we're getting from KU. We came out ahead, opportunity costs included, in the end.Travis Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462838657483444088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-62220659173209417042015-09-21T12:15:01.311-05:002015-09-21T12:15:01.311-05:00Thanks for another great numbers blog!

I've heard people mostly complain that Amazon preorders don't count on the release date, thus nerfing your rank. However, over at Joanna Penn's blog today, her guest was talking about how preorders on ALL other platforms count toward your first day rank. <br />Your books are amazing, and I'm so glad to see you having such great success! I imagine as you keep adding more Heartstriker books, those numbers are going to keep climbing.Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-7532872072282566022015-09-21T10:11:15.894-05:002015-09-21T10:11:15.894-05:00Do those numbers include the audio listener ore-or...Do those numbers include the audio listener ore-orders also?
