So it’s been two weeks since Corruptor was released into the wild, and I’ve learned a few things:
- A book sold on Amazon is a good sale;
- An ebook sold on Amazon a bunch of times is better;
- Wondering how your sales are going every five minutes is not conducive to completing anything else;
- There are going to be people who don’t like the book. Deal with it;
and finally…
- I swear that with the next book, I will not care about sales until 90 days after it’s been released.
I wonder if other authors had the epiphany of “You know? I’m not getting any writing done while I’m wondering how sales are going…”. Anybody? Thankfully, I have a few small projects (nothing major) in the works so I can have half my attention on some things and half on other. This should allow me to keep my sanity for another two weeks.
Hopefully.
Jason, your insights are proving invaluable! Thanks for sharing this part of the journey with the rest of us!
It’s a nerve-wracking experience that I wouldn’t trade for almost anything in the world.
“Almost” anything, mind you. 🙂
