There’s another component to this story. She first sold this book in self help and got a lot of sales from people who didn’t know it was a plain journal. Amazon flagged it and it was taken out of that category and now it’s more descriptive that’s it’s a lined journal. So I’m guessing that is when Amazon ended up with more stock and put the book on sale. This was a case where she got very lucky and I would not want others to think the same will happen for them. I think in most cases the book would have been given bad reviews but because of the confusing title I think many buyers assumed they made the mistake during purchase.

This actually happened to me, not to that extent though. One of my LC books has been drastically reduced so I get consistent sales. Last week (for 1 day) I had a BSR of less than 1000! I want to add A+ content but I'm hesitant to do anything to the listing in case that would cause Amazon to increase the price. I will run more aggressive ads though.

The following day it had about 50 sales l, I believe. My royalties are $2. Typically I get anywhere from 3 to 20+ sales. It really does vary. I hadn't thought about the influencer possibility.

@goilo888 Жыл бұрын
Yes, I had the same thought, Julie. And I don’t think that Amazon went ahead and published a whole bunch of these expecting to sell. Why? It is no different (in fact it looks WORSE) than the many THOUSANDS of other notebooks for sale. Books are printed in the country where the order is placed, on demand. It makes no sense for Amazon US to print lots of books if the orders are going to come in from the UK. My personal opinion is that Amazon is doing some market research itself and this was some kind of experiment as part of that. Lucky for the author. Not so lucky for the rest of us because it isn’t repeatable.

When Amazon reduces the price of a book, the author still gets the royalties that they set when they priced their book, so she's not losing out. Amazon will either take the hit or they may have a good reason for reducing and selling off the books quickly. Storage space costs money too, so it could well be in their interest to sell these off quickly.
