Kindle Scout halfway mark

January 19, 2018 by Kalen

The Ancient Tripod of Peace has reached the halfway mark in its Kindle Scout listing.

Overall, I’m pleased with the results so far. The novel preview is spending close to half the time in the “hot and trending” category. Page views have lightened recently, but perhaps those who saved it for later have gone on to nominate it.

What’s most important about the process is that the preview is reaching readers. Without even trying, a regular web search for “ancient tripod” listed the kindle scout listing for the novel on the first page of Google search results, which I thought was extraordinary. Having over 5,000 page views of the preview does bode well for the eventual launch of the novel.

I’ve also learned a bit about the current promotion climate for novels during the process. That is good information to have going forward.

So, for other authors, I would support submitting to the kindle scout program. Of course, one wants to consider one’s own goals for the work in question.

For readers, it is a great way to see what’s new and receive free kindle ebook copies for those novels selected. My listing is here.

2nd day of kindle scout

January 6, 2018 by Kalen

Thanks to awesome support, “The Ancient Tripod of Peace” reached the “hot and trending” list for a time on its second day in the kindle scout program.

Good to see that the novel is getting nominations (since that number remains hidden) along with page views.

Less than 3 hours for free

June 20, 2012 by Kalen

After less than three hours with it available for free (appears Amazon starts the free promo day usually within the hour after 6 AM EST), already have more downloads of my debut novel than I had in the first six weeks of availability. Sales rank information seems to have disappeared from the kindle page for a while, so will see if Amazon algorithms reinstate that later in the day.

With limited information so far, will have to see how quickly information for authors becomes available as the day progresses. Will say I’m pleased overall so far with it.
