Forfeiting Adam Release Results

Forfeiting Adam, book 2 in the Smith & Guy University series, released on December 8, 2016. This being only the second time I have launched a book, I kept my expectations reasonable.

And I hit my goals!

Yes, I was, and still am, beyond thrilled. What were my goals? What did I do? It's all below.

My release goals for book 2:

1. Release on all platforms -- SUCCESS
2. Have my 2-day soft launch see double the downloads of book 1's first month -- SUCCESS +2 extra books

What I did:

1. Setup book 2 on Amazon, ibooks, and I used Draft2Digital for all other platforms
2. Had a 2-day soft launch with a $0.99 sale
3. Emailed my list 1 week before release and again on release day
4. Put up a post on FB, Twitter, and Instagram
5. Updated my website homepage

What I think worked the best:

1. Mailing list
2. Shared posts that got noticed

What's next?

I have already drafted the next story. It is a novella featuring different characters in the Smith & Guy University world with a small cameo by Harper and Jared (her love interest in Forfeiting Adam).
