Hello all,
I've been scratching my head on something so I figured I would ask.
I've read countless posts regarding releasing a new book and the subsequent increase in sales of older books. Is this only related to the new book having exposure as a new release and readers buying your backlist to read more? Or, for example, does releasing say book 6 in a series cause visibility to increase on books 1-5? Does a new release in the same series have more weight vs a standalone that is unrelated?
I feel I may be overthinking all of this. My suspicion is that it is simply a new book and after reading it or seeing it is part of a series, a person wants to read more so your sales on older titles goes up. Is this right?
