The results are in for September (US & UK combined)
FBK1: 20,964 readers. (Boo Hoo, you could have told us this was part one of two. I didn’t see the cover. I want my free money returned:)
FBK2: 2,729 readers. (Still #2 thriller/horror and #53 Amazon Top 100.)
SC: 147 readers. (Still in the Amazon Top Million)
Adding Smashwords, Apple etc to this. The total readership since the start of the experiment now totals: 26,210
The free downloads of FBK1 have slowed to around 250 per day, but this was expected, I estimated 20,000 downloads maximum, this is now over 21,000, so I now hope to reach 25,000.
The follow through sales of FBK2 were almost exactly 160 per day last month. The percentage started at 8% but is now at 13% in total. Although daily it is averaging 50% over the past 3 days. If I reach a follow through of 50% I will have each and every one of your babies.
I have now stopped reading any reviews left for FBK1; with 26 4 and 5 star reviews I will only start taking things personally. I asked Dermott to check out one of the 1 star reviews; he emailed me the following report.
Dear Mr. Stewart,
The boy made the mistake of following up his criticism on his Twitter account. He wasn’t too difficult to track down. His best friend, who got married this year (I have watched the video in great detail on YouTube) runs a company in Surrey, where she also works as a columnist for a certain local newspaper, her business is to train small businesses how to advertise on social media sites, mainly Facebook, therefore his bad review is solely an attempt to protect his business interests. Because they don’t realise the power which we have. His name is Lee Carney and I have sent you attached photographs.”
I received another review from the former President of Czechoslovakia who is also a playwright, novelist and dramatist. Exactly the sort of person my writing style is not directed towards. On the upside he also slagged off someone called Dan Brown? This fellow is the sort that would title FBK1 “The Facebook Killer (or a study into the post traumatic mind of a grief-defiant category 1 specimen, reminiscent of Freud’s controversial reports regarding the Thomas Van Deville case.)” I think the Hannibal Lecter thing says it all.
My next release UKI is almost halfway through, it is different to the FBK and I would like a couple of volunteers (they must be from the UK) to have a look at it (Stephen Leather need not apply) It isn’t proof read, I would just like some feedback on the storyline. Contact me at ml.stewart@yahoo.co.uk . The book will be around 55,000 words long at priced at 86p.
FBK3 is still being investigated by Interpol but will released from custody before Xmas.
That’s all from me folks.
Respect!
MLS
