A few years ago I would publish a book and over the next 2 months it would slowly rise in the rankings followed by a slow decline. That doesn't happen for me anymore. My books will only stay on the charts for a 2 - 3 weeks plus as long as I'm paying for advertisement. I think two things could be happening. It could be that my book is ending up in fewer 'also bought' lists and hence I'm not getting much discoverability. Or/and, Amazon has changed the algorithms in favor of a much faster rise and fall.
I was planning on switching subgenres to address the first possibility. But before I take such a big step, I wanted to reach out to find out if others are experiencing a quicker fall off the charts as well. If everyone is experiencing it, then the change I'm experiencing is probably due to algorithmic changes and my switching subgenres won't help.
So, have you been experiencing a much, much faster rise and fall than in 2018?
