Pre-orders are both ubiquitous in the the book industry and count as sales.
So based on that, it’s currently sitting at number 301 over all.
Yeah, nobody is going to read that trash.
3.....0....1......
BEAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Duma$$...
Pre-orders are both ubiquitous in the the book industry and count as sales.
Sooooo...based on how Amazon ranks book sales, he has sold about 175ish books today.
I am literally laughing my ass off at this.
You completely screwed your own pooch on this epic fail.
And one more thing pal...ya may want to do a little background checking before your next pathetic troll attempt.
But I guess they don’t give you that level of detail over at KoS and DU...

“1. A good Amazon sales ranking doesn’t mean you’re selling many books.
As you can see above, a good ranking between 5,000 – 10,000 means you’re only selling anywhere from 10 – 40 books per day. That’s quite a wide range. And, even selling 100 books a day doesn’t mean you’ll get rich anytime soon. If you maintained that level for 100 consecutive days (100 x 30), you still only sell 3,000 total units in a month.
Therefore, there is NO reason to brag or get depressed about your Amazon sales ranking. The only authors selling a ton of books on Amazon are those with rankings less than #500 who maintain that level for several months. Those are the icons of the industry with major publishers and massive resources behind their book campaigns.
As another example, I consulted on a backlist book that consistently maintained an Amazon sales ranking of less than 500, which is amazingly rare. Yet, it typically sold only 2,500 – 3,500 copies per week. Sure, that’s way above average, but no one is retiring to a private island on those numbers.
2. If you tell people your book is a #1 bestseller on Amazon, it means absolutely nothing.
I’m fed up with how many misguided authors tell people their book is a #1 Amazon bestseller. Any author who makes such a claim smacks of desperation and a lack of ethics. Here’s why:
Amazon sales rankingAny author can mount a marketing campaign that temporarily spikes a book to #1 in an obscure Amazon category for a brief period of time – maybe one day or two. But, that spike is a fleeting moment, which quickly drops off. If a book gets to #1, you could use my chart above and guess that it sold 100, 250, or even 1,000 copies in one day. That’s good, but it’s still not that many copies sold.
Then, what about the next day when the ranking quickly falls off to 500, 2,500, or 5,000? Sales are back to modest amounts of 50 – 100 per day. Therefore, a brief spike to #1 on Amazon doesn’t mean a lot of books were actually sold. In order to hit the legitimate bestseller lists, such as the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, or Publishers Weekly, you’ve got to sell around 5,000 copies or more in a week. (Amazon now has their own official bestseller list called Amazon Charts.)”
