One way we have of getting more sales is to publish another book, according to several posters in this forum. I understand that. All my books have a sales spurt that lasts for two or three months after each new book, then returns to a slow trickle.
But what I don't understand is what has happened twice to me this year. In January and the two months after German sales picked up. Not huge, but several dozen over the time period. Last month and now this month I'm getting a couple dozen from Japan. And Australia just had a half dozen sales.
I can maybe understand Australia, since English is the national language. But Germany? Japan? Except to get my latest book ready to publish I've done absolutely nothing in the last year to increase my sales anywhere, much less there.
Any explanations?
