I've been looking at the analytics of the three children's books I have released. Take note I haven't begun marketing the books until recently.
The first book, launched in February, never really had a spike of activity. Never made a blip on the radar of rankings.
The second book, launched in March, instantly hit number 15 in books and stayed there for several days before slowly dropping off the charts. This book netted over 650 dollars in the time it was ranked top 15 (7 days).
The third book, launched very recently in May, has not seen any surge, just like the first book. No blips on any radars.
All three books are based on famous fairy tales, very well known, etc., and arguably the third book is more widely known than the second book that did so well.
SO. Why did the second book do so well? I have no idea. Meta data is pretty much identical for all the books. No marketing until recently, etc.
Can anyone offer any insights as to why the second book hit 15th in books in the U.S.? That's a pretty awesome achievement but I have no idea how it happened.
