I could not agree more.

[@keithjones929]

Thanks Shania for a helpful video. Excellent information.

[@GrantGreetings]

This is really good to know. I didn't know Amazon could play with the price. I would flip out if I saw the price of one of my books so cheap, not knowing this. I would be looking for a big mistake on my part. Thanks for the heads up, just in case. I truly appreciate it!

[@TheHomeBoss]

Not only can the price drop, but one of my books was nearly double in price! It's a good idea to check your books regularly for any changes.

[@GrantGreetings]

[@karenfredericks8474]

Great video! How did you know the author was NOT running any ads?

[@denisediamond9313]

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.

[@thapelonelsonntlhabo5998]

Thanks for that insight.

[@kayakawaii]

yes. this. she got her account terminated.

[@shaniceonbiz]

@@kayakawaiiand reinstated 🎉

[@shaniceonbiz]

Not true lol! The book went on sale before Amazon reclassified it. 🎉

[@pat4005]

I totally disagree. I actually went to her You Tube channel, and watched her entire video. But first, let me state, that as far as I know, Amazon does not have any low content books pre-printed, so THERE IS NO "Stock" sitting around that they "ended up with" and had to get rid of by putting the book on sale! So you are NOT being fair to the creator of that book, by just guessing about how and when Amazon prints book orders. The author of the low-content book said that when she noticed that it went on sale, and her sales went up, she immediately went to work on promoting it herself, (as Amazon does put KDP books on sale, the book author DOES NOT LOOSE MONEY, AS AMAZON PAYS THEM THE SAME AS IF IT WAS NOT ON SALE). She worked VERY diligently to promote her book in every way that she could because she realized that it was in her book's best interest to ALSO promote her book while Amazon was promoting it on sale. 👍🏼 She used all the social media she normally used, and asked friends, family and supporters to help promote it too. A nice person with a special interest Facebook group also promoted it within their group. These diligent sales strategies that she used, and acted-upon immediately, are what pushed her book sales (and her other books also), up dramatically during those hand-full of days. So no, it was NOT at all that, "she got very lucky". Without out her IMMEDIATE, DILIGENT and CONSISTENT ACTION of promoting her book as soon as she saw it was on sale, it would not have made those sales figures on it's own! If that were the case that she was just "lucky", then ALL the other Amazon KDP books would sell at record high levels when they went on sale, and we know that is not the case. You are at best, doing her a great disservice by belittling and ignoring her own contribution to her great success, and at worst, you are just insulting someone who was smart, and put in a great deal of effort to make the most of a very brief opportunity when her book went on sale.

[@sholao.1344]

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.

[@naturallycandacemarie]

Hi there! So you find that running ads helps with sales?

[@sholao.1344]

@@naturallycandacemarie if you can target specifically relevant keywords, yes ads will help. But honestly I think the performance of this book is more a function of the reduced price than anything else.

[@naturallycandacemarie]

Okay thank you 🙏🏾

[@rifatrashidadnan7613]

@@sholao.1344 Would you mind sharing how much it is making on average when it holds BSR of around 1k. Do you think may be an influencer shared your book that makes it popular?

[@sholao.1344]

@@rifatrashidadnan7613 well the day it went below 1000 was the day I had over 180 sales, I actually didn't notice it the day of, it was only when I went backt to check. 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. This past 5 days or so has been a deviation from the norm, so it is possible.

Wow, detective Nuria Home Boss! Nice work :) My KDP was terminated (they falsely accused me of having a previous account that was terminated. I've only had one account), but this is still inspiring with regards to what's possible. Thank you.

[@TheHomeBoss]

I'm sorry to hear that! Please don't give up, Amazon is not the only platform you can publish on. There are lots of online opportunities out there, I wish you all the best!

[@julievillani8947]

An inspiring story and congrats to the author. Nuria, you mention Amazon may have dropped the price so they did not have stock sitting and take up space. How would this be possible if this is a KDP book, that only gets printed when ordered?

[@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor]

Maybe someone at amazon printed too many copies by mistake?

[@TheHomeBoss]

When Amazon thinks that a book will sell a few copies, they sometimes print them in advance. This often happens before Christmas especially.

[@goilo888]

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.

[@rifatrashidadnan7613]

I guess such incredible result doesn't happen organically. May be a super influencer found this lined journal helpful and shared or may be the author is spending heavily on ads. Whatever the reason is, its awesome.

Wow, that's an incredible story! It just goes to show the power of a well-written and compelling book. I'm sure many aspiring authors will find this inspiring and motivating. It's fascinating to see how a single book can have such a massive impact on people's lives and generate such significant income. Thanks for sharing this mind-blowing story!

[@TheHomeBoss]

I think it's even more amazing as it is a notebook, so not a written book at all. It shows that anything is possible if the circumstances are right and she did well in promoting the book as soon as she saw that it was reduced in price.

[@pureinspiration123]

The paradox is that the only thing that was written in that book is the title. All the content is just notebook pages with just lines.

Un libro da 120 pagine per 6,99 $di prezzo ha 1,90 di royalty. Come fanno a pagarli le royalty se lo vendono a 0,91 $ ? Molto strano.

[@TheHomeBoss]

Amazon still pays you the full royalty, they take the loss.

[@Lumeone]

Interesting point, but I do not think the numbers are correct. Look at how many reviews book has - only few - 33 ratings. It means that sales are not so large. Publisher rocket gives ~ $700 DY Sales. ???

Wow, how in the world is it selling so cheaply??? It's now back from $.91 to 6.99, so I'm guessing her sales are going to tank.

[@TheHomeBoss]

Let's hope it continues to sell for her :)

[@simplyrelaxedvideos]

@@TheHomeBoss If amazon is paying her the full royalty, they're losing money. I hope she gets her $$$ and amazon is the one taking the loss.

[@TheHomeBoss]

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.

[@AndyMorrisArt]

This is certainly a stroke of luck for her. Just goes to show you. I have no idea what it shows us. It's like hitting a small lottery really.

[@jimc336]

It’s not #14 on all of Amazon, it’s #14 in self help journals.

wrong, it was 14 on all of Amazon when I made the video. If you watch the video you can see I was researching the top 100 books, that 's what brought it to my attention in the first place.

So this had nothing at all to do with all that back-breaking work. It was pure chance. What a lucky payout.

[@TheHomeBoss]

It's a bit more than that, she took the opportunity and ran with it by having built a good social media presence. When the price was reduced she was able to pounce and promote her book. So all the back-breaking work paid off because she created all her social media channels in the first place. Fair play to her.

@@TheHomeBoss Maybe. I say this also because you said her other books weren't doing that well. I just made a book recently with the bare minimum effort, and it's one of my best sellers. Pure chance.
