I woke up this morning to this ...

#94 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#8 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Literary
#9 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Literary Fiction
#16 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Women's Fiction > Contemporary Women

I have NEVER been in the top 100 before for paid sales.  I am positively beside myself right now.  And I know, after the recent thread, that there are so many accomplishments much bigger then this ... but I'm so excited right now.  

Thanks for letting me share.  

ETA:  Yesterday morning, my book was hanging out at 113K.

You've joined a very special club and I welcome you.
You can now safely hang the title "Best selling author" on your shingle.

May you stay in the top 100 for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Don't forget to put some of that $ back for the tax man.

That's awesome! And it's a HUGE accomplishment. Congrats!

If I may ask, how did you get such big movement so fast? Were you featured somewhere?

Well, that was fleeting. Just got bounced from the top 100 ... I'm now #108. Ah ... It was good while it lasted.

The boost is entirely from my listing on Bookbub, which ran yesterday. I ran under Literary Fiction for a $.99 sale.

Thank you everyone for your kindness and congratulations on my little milestone. When I woke up this morning, I really couldn't believe it. It was, in a word, shocking. Such a hugh jump, I never could have imagined.

 

[davidhaynes]

Well done!

 

[Cheryl Douglas]

Woo hoo! Congratulations! Hope you get back in the Top 100 today. Keep us posted!

Well, that was fleeting.

When my book first breached the Top 100, it bounced in and out for a day or so and then began climbing again. Don't give up yet.
One word of advice: Have an ice pack ready for you wrist. You can get sore hitting the Author Central refresh button!

It will certainly be an interesting day...I'll get the ice packs ready. What is this Author Central you speak of? (Never mind, I figured it out!) I just check KDP.

Great job!

Squee! Hope you grabbed a screenshot.  

 

[AshMP]

Great job!

Thank you very much ... but really, I had so little to do with it. My first action this morning? A thank you note to BookBub.

Squee! Hope you grabbed a screenshot.

I was literally half awake, absolutely jittery with joy and somehow I remember to do just that--capture the images. The numbers may be fleeting on Amazon, but they are eternal on my iPad.

Congratulations! 

Top 100 paid in Kindle is a great place to be (or to have been!)

 

[Kwalker]

That is really awesome! Congrats

 

[ChrisWard]

Few people achieve that ever, that's a huge achievement, congrats!

 

[Caddy]

Congratulations!  Bookbub rocks.  I'm glad you saw success with it.  I hope you see sales from this for weeks.

So funny, last night I was explaining to a non-author about 'when' you can say you are a best seller. I told her we all have our opinions but me personally, I think when you break the Top 100 Paid in Kindle, it qualifies.

So congrats, Ms. Best Seller!

Rising into the top 100, that's rarefied air. Don't you wish it left some kind of a mark, like a big boob tatooed on your cheek? (Or a tatoo of your choice.)
