Let's See What One More Swing Would Do To Downswing's Amazon Ranking

Hope you might help me with a fun experiment.

I have a short story, Downswing, aimed at golfers. Got it priced at 99 cents. Had a few sales, then it languished for a long time. Yesterday, had ONE sale. And Downswing's ranking soared from the basement of 1,672,213 into the stratosphere of 111,558. At that moment, ONE sale put its ranking at #66 in Kindle Store > Kindle Short Reads > 15 minutes (1-11 pages) > Literature & Fiction

What would one more sale do? 

Willing to help me find out? Be that one more sale?

Downswing is more than a story just about golf. Buy it. Let's see what happens. I'll report back.

PS: It's easy to google and find a free app so you can read Kindle ebooks on any device you are using.

  1. One more sale appeared and here are the results: #104,902 Paid in Kindle Store #57 in Kindle Store > Kindle Short Reads > 15 minutes (1-11 pages) > Literature & Fiction. Wonder how many sales it would take to pull it into the top ten?

    1. Randy, I just purchased a copy this morning. Needed some more reads for my Tablet. Good luck with the Amazon ranking. Even better luck likely needed to figure out how they work. Best, John

  2. I've had one more sale and my ranking was worse. Went to 151,023 and #91 in its subcategory. But it could be that time hasn't passed for that one sale to be recorded. We'll see. Not to late to get into this experiment. If you know a golfer, promote to them!

  3. Now the ranking is #101,324 Paid in Kindle Store
    #45 in Kindle Store > Kindle Short Reads > 15 minutes (1-11 pages) > Literature & Fiction...I think if I could just find 10 more golfers who would like to read a golf short story I might get into the top 10.
