I\u2019m starting to get requests for interviews from newspaper reporters and radio show hosts and I know how important it is to give some sort of real sales figures. So I took time yesterday to go over all of my carefully compiled statements at Amazon. Wow! To date, we\u2019ve sold over 40,000 Kindle copies of the Klepto Cat Mysteries and we\u2019ve given away an additional 12,000 Kindle books during some of the promotions Amazon offers authors.<\/p>\n
I published the first Klepto Cat Mystery as a Kindle book in June of 2013. These are sales figures through March of 2015.<\/p>\n
What are my secrets to success? Well, there are actually no secrets. I (and other professionals) have been teaching and preaching three major concepts for years.<\/p>\n
If you write fiction, consider publishing your books for Kindle. We first publish each of our Klepto Cat Mysteries (revved up cozy (or light) mysteries), for Kindle. We have 10 books currently published for Kindle. We then follow up with print copies. Six of the books in this series are in print. But they sure don\u2019t sell as well as the Kindle books do.<\/p>\n
Now this is not true across the board. We sell more print copies of my books for authors\u2014\u201cPublish Your Book,\u201d \u201cPromote Your Book,\u201d and \u201cTalk Up Your Book,\u201d\u2014than we do Kindle or audio books. But we\u2019ve learned that the majority of those who read fiction, do so on their e-readers.<\/p>\n
I hope this bit of advice from someone who has experienced it will help you to enjoy the success you desire. It\u2019s not easy. It may be a stretch for you to write within a popular genre when you\u2019d rather write your memoir, for example. But if you want publishing success, it is important that you follow these suggestions.<\/p>\n
