bookpublishing

It isn’t all that uncommon to have one our (my company’s) books featured on the Today Show. But it’s not every day. So today we tried a company-wide experiment: Let’s see what happens to the Amazon.com ranking.

The book, Broadway Tales by Bill Berloni, began with a rank near 93,000. The current best is #89, and it may still move! Just the fact that it’s in the top 100 is fantastic. Once we saw the huge jump, many of us who are connected to many people via Facebook and Twitter decided to publicize the Amazon page. The “trimmed” link on Twitter had received 16 hits about an hour ago and it’s steadily climbing. (Btw, I didn’t know that http://tr.im let you track hits!) If you want to join in and watch what happens to Amazon rank, you can follow it here: http://tr.im/esan. The Today Show video is also posted below.

As a side note, there’s a lot going on in the book world and the blog world that I haven’t discussed yet. I’ll be thanking my loyal Entrecard droppers, discussing my new blog layout, and introducing a guest blogger all in the near future!
