So, I ran a Select giveaway January 1-5 because Select was up for renewal on January 6 and I'd decided to leave the program. The giveaway went well. The book came off free the morning of the 6th and started selling right away. Amazon didn't get around to actually taking it out of Select until the next morning, so it was also getting borrowed. It had 41 sales and 10 borrows on the 6th. When I woke up this morning, it was up to 54 sales and 16 borrows, and it was still in Select. At about 5:30 a.m. ET, it came out of Select. At that point, it had 57 sales and 16 borrows ... and it hasn't gotten another sale since. It's been six hours.
I'm being paranoid to worry about this, right? It's on a few best-seller lists, and its ranking on those lists hasn't changed. Its overall ranking in the store hasn't changed since earlier this morning. So there's just no reporting happening, right?
Right?
Thing is, I didn't expect to get a sales bump, since so many people haven't been. I was mostly hoping to build my mailing list for Book 2. But now that I'm getting a bump, I find I'd like to keep getting it.
