I self-published my book on the Kindle and Smashwords back in March. I spent about two months aggressively trying to market it, getting reviews, etc.
Now I'm in an interesting spot. Since March, my sales have been steadily increasing. Not to phenomenal levels, mind you, I'm in no danger of quitting my day job any time soon, but each week is bringing higher sales than the week prior, and the jumps are getting bigger.
The question is -- is there any way to figure out exactly what's helping to boost the sales? If it's something I can harness and use, I really want to know that, but the only idea I've had so far is to use Google and Google Alerts to see where the book is being mentioned online... and that's not providing me with anything usable.
Or was my girlfriend right when she told me to just enjoy it and stop questioning everything?
