*An asterisk denotes more than one book that individually sold  over the 1,000 threshold (so a minimun of 2,000 sales)

This is a lovely idea. I can't be included  but I'll be interested to read 

[sibelhodge]

I sold 1020! Woo hoo! Wouldn't mind being where Amanda is, though.  

[David McAfee]

Put me down for Bronze.

[EllenFisher]

I sold about 4600 total-- way better than usual.  Woot for all the new Kindles and Nooks!  I also sold around 2000 copies of one book on B&N, but it's under the pen name that I keep a deep dark secret, so I am not going to put my records out there to prove it:-).  But it's nice to be in the silver category-- maybe I'll make it to the next level up eventually!

Congrats, Sibel!!!

Put me down for electrolite. Or just put me down.

It seems like people have liked this before so I'm going to  do it again - but expanded. Now we'll have categories!  Remember this is "per month" so if you just crossed the 1,000 milestone by adding up sales for several months that doesnt count...yet (you'll make it). This is total sales and can be over multiple books (for instance Michael's is over 5).  An extra little bonus...an asterisk denotes more than one book that individually sold  over the 1,000 threshold.

[BTackitt]

B&N up until December 25th:                                             1008
Amazon (rough estimate since I didn't look before closing)      3500
Amazon UK (rough estimate since I didn't look before closing)  1500
Dec Total 6008

[HP Mallory]

Hi Robin,
I probably should have added that each one of my books sold over 1,000 copies each for the little asterisk thing! LOL
Thanks!

[modwitch]

Y'all know how inspiring this is, right?  Congratulations!!

[Vianka Van Bokkem]

My Amazon kindle book numbers are 2,488.

My B & N Nook book numbers from 12/1 to 12/29 are 324

Grand total: 2,812

That puts me in the Silver category!



Vianka Van Bokkem  

[Sandra Edwards]

I sold 2532 for December, so I think I belong in the Silver

[Gerald]

I'm loving these stories and admiring the numbers  Well done, everyone.

[MosesSiregarIII]

Put me down for electrolite. Or just put me down. 

Ha!

[Valmore Daniels]

over 1k

[Steven L. Hawk]

1,189 for Peace Warrior.

Congrats on a great month, everyone.

I love seeing all of these numbers. It's interesting and inspirational!

As an aside, and it's a small thing, but I'm not sure I like the addition of gold, bronze, etc. Those are awarded for competitions and I'd hate for us to start turning this into a competition against each other. In a similar way, I'm not a fan of any "club" idea. Clubs are exclusive and one of the things I love most about KB is that it's inclusive. I would suggest more categories for more inclusion and better tracking.

I tend to agree with Monique. I love hearing about everyone's fantastic sales numbers. It give me hope. And even though I woke up this morning and saw my name on the list (albeit in the wrong category)...I, too, am not exactly keen on the exclusivity of this notion. We're all in this together. It's not a competition...but it's kind of starting to feel that way in this thread. *sorry, don't mean to complain or cause trouble*.

[Imogen Rose]

My total for the month (all three books included) : 5723

I agree. Also, some of us have one book, others have multiple, so total counts really don't mean much when categorized like this.

[Monique]

Thus my comment.

Ah. Si!

[Steven L. Hawk]

I tend to agree.  I like seeing sales numbers because it gives me an idea of what is possible.  But establishing clubs, categories and levels...  not so much.
