If, say, on Thursday at ten a.m. nineteen people order copies of your book and that's more than anybody else's book during that hour, you'll be ranked first. <BR/><BR/>Not much chance of being first overall at Amazon.com, since that includes all books by all authors, and the winner is going to be somebody who sells a shitload of copies. You are up against the real heavyweights who go on Oprah and hit the top of the national bestseller lists.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it never hurts to be able to put "bestselling author" on your next book. And getting five stars is cool, too.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-20355756826791452132008-10-20T06:57:00.000-07:002008-10-20T06:57:00.000-07:00What great news, on all counts!

With all the horrible news lately, it's good to know that there's a solid backbone of people out there working to make the world a better place, and being justly rewarded for it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks! Hope you thoroughly enjoy everything that comes to you.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164612896234645132noreply@blogger.com
