Here&#8217;s what happened"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 26 June, we released a book: <a href=\"http:\/\/mybook.to\/gettingpublished\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"bx-link\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><em>Getting Published<\/em><\/a>, authored by me, and a major update on a book I first wrote ten years ago. (You can take a look at the book <a href=\"http:\/\/mybook.to\/gettingpublished\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"bx-link\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, if you want to.)<\/p>\n<p>You might think that releasing a book was an occasion for a little hoo-hah and hullaballoo, but in fact we released it in perfect silence. We didn\u2019t tweet, didn\u2019t blog, didn\u2019t post on Facebook, didn\u2019t send an email.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing we did do was ask our Advance Review Copy team to submit their reviews for the book. Amazon, for obvious reasons, doesn\u2019t permit reviews prior to the moment of publication, so you can only start to gather reviews in the day or two following launch.<\/p>\n<p>Over that weekend therefore \u2013 the 26, 27, 28 June \u2013 we quietly nudged our ARC folk to submit reviews. Those reviews built gradually over the weekend, to a total of more than 50. We didn\u2019t solicit only five-star reviews. We didn\u2019t even do the \u201cif you hated this book, tell me; if you loved it, tell others\u201d thing. We just asked people to report their honest opinions via Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>The result was that we got a mix of reviews. Mostly five-star. Some four-star. One three-star. Every author wants all five-star reviews of course, but the fact is that a mixture of opinions and comments lends absolute authenticity to the overall verdict. In the US and the UK, the reviews are knocking around the 4.7 to 4.8 level \u2013 highly positive, but just mixed enough to be real. Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>We had some launch weekend issues, of course. Amazon started randomly and aggressively deleting reviews for absolutely no reason at all. It has form on this, of course, and there\u2019s nothing much you can do except complain.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t the only niggle.<\/p>\n<p>The book cover didn\u2019t show up properly for a while, because we\u2019d inadvertently uploaded one that was marginally too large. It also took us a bit of time to get the paperback uploaded and available for sale.<\/p>\n<p>But though we were working away behind the scenes, no one really noticed any problems \u2013 because the book, though published, was effectively invisible.<\/p>\n<p>At this early stage, Amazon didn\u2019t know who to market the book to. It made virtually no sales. Our beloved book was simply buried in a pile of 8 million other titles. By the end of the weekend, we had sold precisely four books: none on Friday, one on Saturday, three on Sunday. Four books across the entire English-speaking world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But we didn\u2019t care.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We wanted to make sure that when people did finally start landing on our book page, there would be plenty of reviews telling them what to expect \u2013 and basically validating the impulse to buy. (No one loves being the first idiot to buy an un-reviewed book.)<\/p>\n<p>So over the weekend, we just sat tight and let our reviews build. Then, on Monday afternoon, we finally broke our weekend of silence. I started emailing you guys with a short email telling you about the book and inviting you to buy it. Some of you got the email on Monday, some on Tuesday, and so on through the week. As an extra little \u201cbuy it now\u201d kicker, I told you that the price would double in a few days\u2019 time.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of this staggered email campaign was to build a gradually swelling mass of sales. If we\u2019d judged it perfectly, sales would have run something like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:20px;\"><em>Monday \u2013 100<br \/>Tuesday \u2013 110<br \/>Wednesday \u2013 120<br \/>Thursday \u2013 130<br \/>\u00a0Friday \u2013 140<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The aim in seeking to build that kind of profile is to send three messages to Amazon. Those messages are: (1) this book is selling, (2) there is steady demand for the book, not some temporary one-off spike, (3) that demand is, if anything, increasing.<\/p>\n<p>And crucially, because you guys are all writer-types who love writer-stuff, we were in effect sending a critical fourth message too: (4) Look at the people who are buying this book; it\u2019s that sort of person you need to market it too.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, the purpose of our launch campaign was less about actually selling books and more about teaching Amazon how to sell our book \u2013 and making sure that it wanted to try. The sales campaign was all about prepping the machine.<\/p>\n<p>How did we do? Well, I suppose we succeeded in achieving our aim, at least approximately. Our actual ebook sales profile looked like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:20px;\"><em>Monday \u2013 125<br \/>Tuesday \u2013 141<br \/>Wednesday \u2013 95<br \/>Thursday \u2013 92<br \/>\u00a0Friday \u2013 145<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Paperbacks, for some reason, started selling on the Wednesday, then increasing each day.)<\/p>\n<p>That sales profile showed Amazon that the book was selling, that it was selling steadily, and taught Amazon\u2019s bots about the kind of people who were its most likely buyers. It didn\u2019t quite demonstrate a steadily increasing demand, but our strong Friday finale probably did enough on that front anyway.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, we changed the ebook price from $2.99 in the US to $7.99. In Britain, we changed the price from \u00a31.99 to \u00a35.99.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously enough, the reason for launching at a low price (but one that still delivers 70% royalties) was to maximise sales in that launch week and to give the book the best possible start in life.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for switching to the $7.99 pricing was to give us a much better royalty on each sale &#8211; $5.59, in fact. At the same time, our book is still cheaper than its natural competitors (the ebook version of Writers Market retails at an exorbitant $19.99, for example.) So we\u2019re both earning a good royalty on every sale \u2013 and making ourselves the easiest, cheapest entry-point in what is not a particularly cheap market.<\/p>\n<p>Good. Some ebook pricing decisions are complicated. This one feels relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t play the same kind of games with paperbacks \u2013 printing costs just set a relatively high floor price \u2013 but we don\u2019t really need to. Since ending the promo week and changing the price, we\u2019re selling about 10-20 paperbacks a day and about half that number of ebooks daily.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, we\u2019re still nestling at or near the top of the relevant category bestseller lists. That means the book will pick up sales passively, without any especial love from us.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, we didn\u2019t quite achieve the sales mass we wanted to in that first week, so the book\u2019s visibility now is less than we wanted. For that reason, we\u2019re about to start supporting the book with sponsored listings on Amazon. The purpose will be to drive sales to the point at which natural, organic sales can largely take over.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s it. That\u2019s pretty much you need to know about launch week and where it\u2019s left us.<\/p>\n<p>The key point from all of this? The absolute key? Simply this:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Selling on Amazon isn\u2019t so much about how many books you can sell yourself, it\u2019s about teaching Amazon how to sell your book \u2013 and making sure that it wants to.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the trick. That\u2019s the whole deal right there. If you really internalise that message, everything you do in terms of Amazon-selling will be easier and more fruitful than if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Bish-bosh.<\/p>\n<p>This email has yabbered on long enough. Me? I\u2019m off to make a hashish and rose-petal jelly, which I will serve with mint tea and a dish of almond biscuits.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Reminder: If you want a free review e-copy of 52 LETTERS &#8211; a collection of these blog posts and emails from me &#8211; then email my colleague Rachael via <a href=\"mailto:publishing@jerichowriters.com\" class=\"bx-link\">publishing@jerichowriters.com<\/a>.
