Bump?

Not sure there was a bump from the ad promotion for First yesterday. I don’t think there was, but I can’t be sure since I also had a lot of hits on one of my BookBub ads and the sales rank jumped later in the day. That timing tends to make me think it was the ad I ran, rather than the promo. Not sure what time they sent out their email blasts, but I do know my book was on their website early in the day. I have promotions running with other sites tomorrow, next Tuesday, and the big one next Thursday. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on that one, which guarantees a certain number of sales or they issue a prorated credit. They say that 92% of books reach the target. I’m hoping that one works and vaults First to the top of the charts. There must be some tipping point where books start selling with what I’d call maintenance advertising, but that point seems far off. Or, of course, publicity from being made into a movie or series. In the meantime, I have to resort to ongoing advertising to make any sales at all.
