Amazon List
Well, the book is slipping back as things normally do post launch, but the history is still pretty amazing given how much we've not pushed. These are roughly the Saturday morning of every week. Since Amazon updates hourly, there is going to be fluctuation:
| Week | Marketing Rank | Business Rank | All Books |
| 1 | 1 | 24 | 199 |
| 2 | 15 | 78 | 2,049 |
| 3 | 5 | 62 | 1,045 |
| 4 | 2 | 49 | #511 |
| 5 | 18 | 100+ | 3,302 |
| 6 | 26 | 100+ | 11,278 |
So we had a peak at Week 4 and are slipping back now in volume. I can't tell if this is because of the holiday season so other books are coming up or is this natural. In any case interesting to ask how the Christmas season will do.
Actually, it turns out I've been calculating the marketing category incorrectly, if you go to Marketing general, we are right now #17 on that list, not #26, there is some junk like Biztalk Server Management thrown into marketing for some reason.
And in case you're interesting the hit list for that category looks like:
- The Tipping Point
- Purple Cow
- How to Become a Rainmaker (actually this is a sales book)
- The Discipline of Market Leaders
- Marketing Management
- Trading Up
- Selling the Invisible
- Guerrilla Marketing for Consultants
- Born to Buy
- Crossing the Chasm
- Designing Brand Identity
- The SPIN Selling Fieldbook (ugh, a sales book for sure)
- Guerrilla Marketing
- How Customers Think
- Free Prize Inside
- Influence: Science and Practice
- The Marketing Playbook
- The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing
- Hey Whipple Squeeze This
- The Product Managers Handbook
