Quote: katarina66, Thursday, 26 Jan 2012 11:47I notice on kindle forums, that some people promoting their own work make claims such as , 'My book has been flying up the amazon charts'
Um, how do you know how well your book is doing in the Amazon charts? How can you even see the Amazon charts? Call me stupid, but I can't find a link at all.
The Amazon chart ratings/rankings are on the book page! Click the books link and scroll down to just above the review section and there they are! Click on any of those ratings and it will take you to the appropriate chart for the books genre. There are charts in every genre you can think of. Also, kindle authors get hourly updates for sales, so it's easy enough to keep track. Hope that helps.

PS: Just checked your book and it's not charting yet. You need to get some tags on there and then ask people to tag and like it and tweet directly from the Amazon page as part of your marketing plan. People need to know it's there so they can buy it. It's a good price, lovely cover with some good reviews from the paperback version. It needs a bit of help to get it kick started. If you would like to join our Indie Kindle group on facebook to help with promotion, just let me know. You need to be on facebook first to do this. There are lots of members from here who've joined us recently. Pam.
