I'm pushing, believe me! Haha,my eyes hurt!

@ralphkern can you point me to where you see the rankings, I can't find them, I've been trying, in between stressing about how its doing...

 

[Vertigo]

Go to your Liberator's page on Amazon and look just at the bottom of the 'Product Details.' Liberator is currently (on Amazon UK) #106 on Kindle - books - SFF -SF - Space Opera, #127 in Books - Fiction - SF - Space Opera, and #1459 in Books - SFF.

Thanks!

Q, I also wanted to tell you that you should look at moving the book to a less-full category. Space Opera is such a deep pool, that it will be almost impossible to get visibility unless you are selling hundreds. So perhaps, military SF (which is still large, or another that will fit the book) Then if the book does well, you can get to the Hot New Release in that category too, which is great. This is tough in SF but its possible!

 

[Nick B]

OK, I had it in scifi general, and figured that was a bit dumb, so changed that to military sf, does that sound like a smarter move? Ive left it in space opera at the moment, but will possibly change that too later, its a good job you can change stuff on the fly on kdp...

 

[ralphkern]

You can have up to two categories

 

[Nick B]

yeah, at the moment, space opera and military sf, coz that is pretty much what it is... Am I being stubborn and naive? It isnt unknown...

Possibly. but you also don't want to be in blatantly the wrong category. But the cover doesn't say space opera to me (or the blurb) and that's à tough category

 

[Nick B]

righto, I will change out of my space opera outfit...

Congratulations. All the best with it!

I want a replica of the bus!

(Congrats)

 

[Nick B]

Everybody wants to get on the Liberator promo bus! All you have to do is buy a copy, its the price of a cup of coffee!

Createspace stuff is 99% done, Darren just making sure everything is good on the pdf versions (he's a printer by trade who ran a print company, so this is his area), and tomorrow we will upload and request a proof... Books will be coming soon.

 

[Nick B]

As of right now, 21 copies have been bought, about 10 given away to reviewers and a few people, and 1200 pages read on kindle unlimited. Two 5* reviews and one 4*. I don't know if that is good for three days for unknown authors first release or not, but it makes me happy that people are reading it.
Thank you again to everyone who is supporting us or has helped along the way.

 

[ratsy]

That's a good start! You've written a book, got a good cover, had it professionally edited, have sent review copies, and have put it out there for the world. And people are reading it. Exciting times ahead.

Make that 22 (although it may be a while until I actually get around to reading it).

 

[Nick B]

Thanks!
