On November 25th, 2012, I decided to publish Part
One of my book, Twilantia: The making of a King through KDP Select. After the publishing process was complete, I
noticed some errors, fixed them and re-uploaded the book to Amazon. Throughout the whole process, the book was
selling. I was amazed by how well the
sales were going without having done any real promoting, having a printed
version or advertising. In fact, and
truth be told here (after all, this is the internet and you can’t put anything
on the internet that’s not true… *smirk. Love that commercial by State Farm*),
the only promoting of any kind that has been done was through KDP’s Freebie
Promotions and through a few posts on Facebook.
By the end of December, 2012 my book had sold 282
copies! Almost 300 people had paid to
read my book. No, that doesn’t include
those that downloaded the freebies either.
If the freebies where included in that number it would be a lot closer to
700 copies. So, yes, I’m amazed that
this has gone so well. After all, this
is the background story to a character I created for a role-playing game back
in 1987 and have been expanding on ever since.
