Every Sale Helps: Amazon Analysis

I just discovered something cool about Amazon sales rank. We already know that your rank is based on current sales from that day, week, and month, but did you know that all books by an author have the same boost in rank?

Check this out: I have three books available on Kindle. My bestseller “Tumbler” was released a year ago and sells for $2.99. It hovers at around 50-75k in sales rank. My second book “The Hidden Institute” is very new (priced at $4.99) and has far less of a following. It generally hovers at around 75-100k. My third book, a short story collection called “The Danny”, costs only $0.99 but is the newest of them all, and has the lowest sales. It is in the 200k range.

The Old Gray Fool

They say that all sorts of men walk into a tavern, and I’m not going to argue it, but they do still fall into two groups. The first one is the social drinker. He’s there looking for friends and drinking with friends. You can spot them by the grin on their faces and the expectant way they look around a place as they enter.

The other sort is trying to drink alone. He wants to get away from something, wants to hide. He wants to drown out a woman, a mistake, a life badly lived. That sort will walk in without looking at anything, head to the far end of the bar, and wait to give their order.

Calls For Cthulhu Episode 11 is now live!

It has been so long since the last episode, I wasn’t even sure I remembered how everything worked. But after the success of the Kickstarter fund, I was determined to make the best C4C episode I could, and the longest one to date.

Thanks to everyone who donated to bring the series back, and I hope you enjoy the fruits of this effort.
