Discarded: A Marathon Torres Novel topped the 300 list for most books sold in a single day. On October 19th, Discarded came in 281st place for most books sold on Amazon that day. This includes both digital copies and softcover copies. Hardcover copies are tracked differently and are exempt from Amazon sales tracking.
Millions of books are published every year. Most of them get lost in the masses, the ones that sell are typically from large publishing companies that have the advertising power to promote the author and their written work.
Self publishing means everything is on the author. Promoting, advertising, managing, hiring artists, finding proof readers, and editing are all on the author. I am a team of one with some amazing people assisting along the way, but everything is self generated. For my novel to top the 300 mark for most books sold, that is something special. Thank you for sharing this moment with me.
