Promotion Update
The first three days of my free promotion have certainly been a roller coaster. The first day was slow going. Then overnight the downloads came in like gangbusters (I'm guessing UK customers). The downloads kept coming in the next day, so much so that I made it all the way up to #39 in the Literary Fiction (Free) category by the end of Tuesday.
I had initially planned on only having two free days, with the idea that I would use the other three promotion days KDP gives you for another time. But after Tuesday's success, I wanted to keep the momentum going and extend it out for the next three days.
Today has been a little slow going, but still getting a download here and there. Maybe it will be like before and tomorrow will pick up. Perhaps it has something to do with how Amazon promotes each title, I don't know.
All I know is, I am happy overall with the success of the promotion. The more eyes on my book the better, and if just a small percentage actually take the time to read it, then all the better still.
The entire self-publishing process is a marathon, not a sprint, and I just have to keep telling myself that. I am proud of my novel and my hope is that more people will get to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Until next time,
Matt
