Ascension Point was BotD yesterday, reduced from $4.99 to $2.99. Have sold 82 copies as of first thing this morning (breaking even at 75), the ranking's up from 670,000 to 2,000 and it's #8 in Kindle Space Opera, #34 in Sci Fi Adventure!

Would be nice to get a few more residual sales over the next day or two, but I'm pretty happy. Hopefully I'll get a bunch of new reviews in a few weeks, that was the main goal :)

Congrats Dan, that's a fantastic result.
I hope the sales keep flowing in for you over the weekend, and it then springboards into even higher daily sales!
Awesome!
Thanks folks! I've also just realised I now have an author rank that Amazon thinks is worth displaying:



It won't last, but it's put a smile on my face :)

Wow! That's a nice new feature. Thanks for pioneering. :)

My BOTD brought in sales over the next few days.
I know this was mentioned in another thread, but can't seem to find it...how does Amazon choose the BOTD's?
That's awesome, Dan. SO pleased for you! Big up the Space Opera genre :D

I think it was an ENT BoTD? But maybe I'm wrong.

If it is, you sign up when they open submissions, pray, sacrifice some children, and then pay them a bunch of money. :p
Seriously? You have to PAY to be the BOD?
Yay! *applause*

I'm very glad to hear it!

…It's an advertisement slot, so yes.

Indeedy. It's $150. I've sold 91 so far at $2.99, so I'm in profit. Breaking even was my secondary goal, the main one being word of mouth and some more reviews, so it's all looking good.

Thanks everyone!
