Ever since mid-January my sales have done nothing but nose-dive, in particular are the sales of Town Secrets. Even though it is permafree, it was moving between 30 and 50 copies a day, and in turn the other books in the series were selling because of that. Sales dropped to 12 one day, and then up to 18, then down to 9 and up to 15, so I started investigating my keywords.
I invested in Kindle Samaurai first, and even thought it brought me quite a few ideas, none of them have helped at all. I tried that for about a week, then I bought Kindle Spy. I tried those for a couple of days and the same thing happened.
Next up is to try another cover, I guess. That means I have to come up with something, but I don’t want to change it until after my Bookbub promotion in February. That will give me a good sales boost, but we’ll see what happens after that. If they don’t stay up, Ill change the cover and see if that helps.
The gold rush of self-publishing is definitely over.

Dear Scott,
I just found your Town Secret (Adam 1) book on iBooks and loved it. I started looking for some other books by you and found I Am Si but have yet to read it. My question for you is why are your other books in the Town Secret series not available on iBooks but on Amazon

Hi Paul,
The reason the other books aren’t on iBooks is that they are currently exclusive at Amazon. I used to have the second and third books at iBooks but sold very few. By having them exclusive at Amazon, I get paid for pages read in their subscription service and they get read quite a lot.
I apologize that they aren’t available for you at the moment. Can you email me at scottgelowitz@myaccess.ca and I’ll send you copies of the other books?
Thanks!
Scott.
