This is Keith Stone, we had communicated about your ability to sell so many books. So what is your secret? I have written three books. Two novels and my memoir. I have been a quadriplegic for seven years. Look me up on Amazon or go to my personal page Keith-stone.com

Randy Judd Hey Keith, thanks for reaching out. I've got a great marketing plan to sell you hahahahaha.

Seriously, I had to learn as I went. A lot of trial and error and watching a ton of youtube videos to learn how to do different things. Here is the basic route I've taken so far. I say 'so far' because I'm learning everyday.
1. Edit, Edit, and Re-edit my book. If I wanted good reviews, I needed it to be polished.
2. Get as many reviews as I could. I joined Pubby.com and was able to get about thirty through them in a month or so. I also did a few free days on Kindle Unlimited to get more books in people's hands for reviews. I ask for reviews at the end of the book itself.
3. Once I had about fifty reviews, I started doing ads on Amazon. This wasn't very productive for me. Maybe I wasn't doing the right key words or something, but I only sold a couple of books over a month.
4. My sales really started to take off when I started Facebook Ads. I started with $5/day spend and increased it a little every week. As long as my royalties were twice as much as my spend, I kept increasing. I got to $90/day and wasn't seeing it increase. Right now, I'm at $50/day in ads, and my Royalties are about $110/day.
5. Recently, I got chosen for a 'Deal of the Day' which helped one of my books. I didn't have anything to do with that. They choose you.
6. On my facebook ads, when people comment, I try to answer them and invite them to my FB Authors Page. This has allowed me to get a following and if they like my first book, hopefully, they'll read my second.

I think that's about all. I looked at your books and I think you've got a good place to start.

Goodluck,

Randy(less)

Quotes by Randy Judd (?)

“Blessed seems to me like we are saying we are special—that God loves us more than others. Grateful says that we know we ain’t any better, but we are thankful for whatever we have.”
