Snow, Top 100 Lists, and Giving Books for Christmas

I had quite the snowy weekend with frigid temps. This is a side-garden picture from my bedroom window. Brrrr

I'm so ready to be headed to Hawaii on Sunday for a family visit.

Have you seen author Heather Moore's Guest post about hitting the top 100 on Amazon?

Every time someone searches a category, the top sellers show up, and if you’re on the list, your exposure increases. But how do you get to the top of the lists? Or, in other words, how do you rise in rankings? You may have heard of Reddit, which is a social media news source entirely dependent on user submissions and views. The articles with the most views work their way to the Reddit homepage. This is a bit how Amazon category rankings work, but with the books with the most sales working their way to the top of the rankings. (If your book isn’t getting sales, Amazon will mercifully notify viewers that your book has at least been viewed by other customers searching similar terms. But rising in rank is about sales.)

You can read more about it here.
