Sure, if it’s an ebook!

Five years ago, ebooks were in their infancy. Now, there aren’t enough ebooks for readers to download! Not to worry– I have two ebooks for only .99 per download!

Special thanks to Girlebooks for the snazzy banner!

Amazon rank lets buyers know ahead of time how well a particular product is selling. This can be indicative of how popular or well-made a product is. The closer the rank is to #1, the better.

In the Kindle Store, Amazon has a “Movers and Shakers” category, listing ebooks based on the biggest increase in rank for the previous 24 hours. Out of over 750,000 ebooks on Amazon, Radium Halos jumped last night from a rank of over 13,000 to (drum roll, please), #341!! It was listed as the #1 book in Movers and Shakers!

How did this happen? Sometimes, we all need a little help. A website called Pixel of Ink, run by Sharon Rosen, promoted the ebook yesterday on their website, their Facebook page, and their Twitter feed. Word began to spread.

Back on March 20, a similar jump occurred in the rank for Celebrities for Breakfast. This was also due to the listing on Pixel of Ink, although I didn’t know it at the time.

Sharon– Thank you so much for the boost I needed!
