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:

WeekMarketing RankBusiness RankAll Books
1124199
215782,049
35621,045
4249#511
518100+3,302
626100+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:

  1. The Tipping Point
  2. Purple Cow
  3. How to Become a Rainmaker (actually this is a sales book)
  4. The Discipline of Market Leaders
  5. Marketing Management
  6. Trading Up
  7. Selling the Invisible
  8. Guerrilla Marketing for Consultants
  9. Born to Buy
  10. Crossing the Chasm
  11. Designing Brand Identity
  12. The SPIN Selling Fieldbook (ugh, a sales book for sure)
  13. Guerrilla Marketing
  14. How Customers Think
  15. Free Prize Inside
  16. Influence: Science and Practice
  17. The Marketing Playbook
  18. The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing
  19. Hey Whipple Squeeze This
  20. The Product Managers Handbook
