Self-Publishing Success Stories: Samantha Young

Excerpt from the author's blog (12000 sales in July 2011! How I got There)

And it’s with great pleasure that after checking my sales and double checking them that I came to the realisation that I could write full time. My dream job. Wow. In the month of July I have sold over 12000 copies of my novels on kindle alone. I’ve pasted in screenshots just in case there are a few disbelievers out there. These screenshots are just my kindle sales and don’t include my paperback sales through CreateSpace or my sales through Smashwords (BN etc) but those are nowhere (nowhere) near as awesome as my kindle sales.

July 2011 is ages ago in the world of self-publishing.  I just checked the author Amazon Page and her books are still selling very well.  And since July 2011, the author has added a few more books.

  3. Tom Corson-Knowles, the author who founded Bestseller Ranking Pro, spent six long years trying to get a traditional publishing deal (and failed miserably). He finally decided to self publish his first book on Kindle in February, 2012.

    That one decision changed his life (and the lives of the more than 30,000 authors he's since taught how to write, publish and market their books professionally).

    Just twelve months after self publishing his first book, Tom had his first $12,000+ month from Kindle ebook royalties alone.

    In Bestseller Ranking Pro, Tom will share with you his step-by-step system for becoming a bestselling author.

    These strategies have also helped Tom and his private publishing clients create more than sixty-seven #1 Amazon bestselling books and counting.
