BookBub Featured Deal Results at the Halfway point
Wednesday April 14, 2021 | By Hieronymus Hawkes | Novel Publicity
This was my first experience with BookBub. I peaked at #144 in the Kindle Store. Made #1 in two categories, Hard Science Fiction and Medical Thrillers. #2 in Technothrillers and Contemporary American Fiction.
I sold more books than I ever have before, saw a Best Seller tag for a little more than a day and finally got some visibility. I’m about halfway through and very close to paying for the cost of the Featured Deal. It will run through Sunday and hopefully I will get a little bit on the back side as well, which is common. As I write this I am here:
Best Sellers Rank: #1,773 in Kindle Store (See Top 100 in Kindle Store)
- #6 in Medical Thrillers (Kindle Store)
- #14 in Hard Science Fiction (Kindle Store)
- #23 in Technothrillers (Kindle Store)
Was it worth it? Definitely! I am seeing my Amazon ads pay off now as well. I tried once before to get a featured deal and was turned down. Not certain what the difference was, but having solid numbers on Goodreads probably helped. I also let them pick the date.
I will definitely sign up again in the future.
Have you had any experience with BookBub or any other marketing sites that boosted your sales?
