Title: bookbub results
Post by: mike herman on March 27, 2019, 11:24:23 AM

I ran a limited 25-day test campaign using only Bookbub for a series that has a prequel at $.99 and the 1st and 2nd in the series are priced at $4.99. I only advertised the $.99 book. The page read thru on KU was 1.6 (prequel) to 1 (for the 1st book in series). This seems like a reasonable read thru. The KU page read thru for the 1st to the 2nd in the series was 2.4 to 1... so far. I'm expecting that number to better as time goes on. What was telling was the sell thru for the Bookbub audience was  82 to 1 for the prequel to 1st in series. The Bookbub audience seems to not be geared for full price books.  I'll have to find other audiences to sell the full priced books to.
Any thoughts?

Are you asking what category the book falls under as in genre?

Prequel is Fiction. Thriller. Women's adventure. Modern day adventure that ends with a setup for the series.
The series is fiction, thriller, historical adventure back in time.
