I have a rather delicate question. There is a book that is in the top 250# of Kindle sales. It has 7 5 star reviews, and 2 one star reviews. The author has sold 13,000 copies at $2.99. She has never lowered the price.
And the writing is j u s t n o t t h e r e. The pacing is frustrating and the character motivations are soft. She reviewed herself for one of her 5 star reviews. Yet thousands of her books have sold and her ranking remains high, even at a "higher" price.
I'm not posting this because I'm jealous. I'm happy for her. She's a really nice person who was looking for a job.
I'm just trying to figure out what she's "got" so I can get a little for my book too!
