Given the lengths some authors have gone to get their letters, it’s easy to assume that becoming a USA Today Bestseller is some huge boon to your career. While the tag has certain benefits, if you’re taking a huge risk (either through shady means – which I do not recommend – or through a huge financial outlay, which I also do not recommend), then y...
First, the most important: variables like what books you’re going up against, how well your promos perform etc. are key, but out of your control. Publishing is a probabilities game. By having a good strategy, you increase the probability of a favorable outcome (in this case, hitting USA Today). But there is no surefire, silver bullet method of hitt...
I advertised an urban fantasy boxed set – a complete trilogy and four side stories advertised as the “complete collection.” Normal price was $9.99, at which price it sold 2 – 4 copies a day.This is a single author set (e.g. everything is written by me).This collection was released on November 15, 2017 – approximately 2.5 months before the run.The collection had 15 Amazon reviews at the start of the week (4.9 average).If you’re familiar with promotion, then a USA Today run is just a much bigger promotion. It involves the following ingredients: 1. BookBub: unless you have a huge audience, BookBub does 90% of the heavy lifting during a USA Today run. Authors have hit USA Today with a massive BookBub alone, although this is rare. 1.1. A BookBub no later than Thursd...
Cross promo: reaching out to authors you know, or doing newsletter swaps can be huge.Posting in communities: promo runs and USA Today quests are popular on places like KBoards, and the community often shares or buys a copy. This obviously only works if you’re actually a contributin...Merchandising: You can also contact retailers like B & N, iBooks, or Kobo for merchandising opportunities. If you submit via D2D, you can contact their support and ask them about merchandising oppo...I was accepted by BookBub on January 2nd, for Wednesday the 31st. That gave me four weeks to plan my run. Here’s what I did, logistically: 1. Immediately submitted to all eligible promo sites. I hadn’t used any of them before for Ruby Callaway: The Complete Collection, since it had never been discounted to $0.99. 2. Organized and uploaded all my Fa...
Much of my strategy revolved around Amazon’s algorithms, and the fact that they respond to a steadily increasing sales history. I was confident from past data that BookBub plus the other promo sites would provide the requisite 500+ sales on Barnes and Noble or 250+ on iBooks I was aiming for, both of which ended up happening. [Note: you only need 1...

Would I do anything differently? No, other than emailing D2D to inquire about merchandising opportunities. This type of run would be a ton more lucrative if I had more books in the series, rather than just a trilogy, but I have seen some crossover sales to a trilogy set in the same world. Very little cr...
