I placed my mystery books in kindle unlimited a few weeks ago. one of the perks is i can temporarily make them free for five days so i did that starting today. I'm going to use this as a place to document my rankings. I've had 305 books downloaded today. Current rankings in the free categories (that only rank free books):
When the time is right:
Best Sellers Rank: #697 Free in Kindle Store (See Top 100 in Kindle Store)
#10 in Cozy Crafts & Hobbies Mystery
#12 in Amateur Sleuth Mysteries (Kindle Store)
#22 in Cozy Animal Mystery
Three blind mice:
Best Sellers Rank: #1,152 Free in Kindle Store (See Top 100 in Kindle Store)
#1 in Teen & Young Adult Detective Story eBooks
#1 in Teen & Young Adult Baseball & Softball Nonfiction eBooks
#2 in Teen & Young Adult Thrillers & Suspense (Kindle Store)
* I don't know why amazon added me to a nonfiction category. The #2 ranking is behind an agatha christie book. It would be cool to surpass it
Toxic intentions:
Best Sellers Rank: #1,151 Free in Kindle Store (See Top 100 in Kindle Store)
#16 in Cozy Crafts & Hobbies Mystery
#20 in Amateur Sleuth Mysteries (Kindle Store)
#28 in Cozy Animal Mystery
Death's inside scoop-no rankings, i assume since i haven't sold any ebooks yet.

That is awesome. Keep the momentum. It gets you seen, if nothing else.

Steadily going upward. Now the trick will be maintaining this when it goes back to selling. The numbers are awesome. has to be a big boost. Sharon and I are excited so I can only imagine how you feel.

My numbers never got higher than the above. I ended the week with 3,578 downloads:
When the Time is Right - 1,072 Three Blind Mice - 692 Toxic Intentions - 865 Death's Inside Scoop - 948 The Christmas Parade Miracle - 1
I have no idea why the second biggest download was Death's Inside Scoop unless the word death in the name got it more exposure than the others.
I also had 1,480 pages read on Kindle Unlimited. Those I'll get paid for, though I think it's less than $8. I assume it got more exposure on KU because it ranked high for all of the downloads. So far I haven't gotten any newsletter signups and only one review so I probably need to adjust the document so readers are prompted immediately at the end of the story. Right now it's after acknowledgements and other items.

If we could master marketing, we'd have it made.
