Well done!

I'm thinking of using KDP select for a novella I'm writing. It's good to know that it still works for some authors.

I just made my 1000th sale!!

I can't believe I've sold around 900 books this month, it feels completely surreal. I'd been selling between 10-20 (on a good month) before Bookbub.

What a change! So, Bookbub is doing good for you? I can't remember where I heard about it, but I'm thinking that J. Konrath endorsed it and said that it really pumped sales for him. Or it was some other place--thing is, it was a positive review of that service, and I'm tempted to check it out myself.

After my free trial I sold 10 books then all the other titles picked up sales, which has never happened. Not a big shout-out, but progress nevertheless.

Good to see free trials still bump sales a bit. I'm hoping to get a novella on Select in the next few weeks, I don't want my bookbub (I keep typing boobub by accident!) sales to peter out.

There's a thread on them over on Kindleboards - they are definitely worth it. Just be wary that their prices might change. I think their popularity means they can put their prices up a bit. Otherwise, I can't recommend them enough.

So when I started this, I had no idea it would become this... large. I would say that this was a successful thread!
