Best selling books may be loosely defined as one of current popularity. That being the case, there’s a lot of wiggle room for the big lists. In many cases, the lists may themselves drive some part of the marketing which is driving sales. For example, a publisher may have connections through agents, editors and retailers which create a boost in sales and position on certain lists, effectively creating best seller books.

Book A Place On the List Mon, 21 May 2007 15:35:12 +0000 http://www.atthefamilyplace.com/what-defines-best-seller-books#comment-27227 [...] Whether you’re a reader or a writer, have you ever wondered just what is meant when you see a certain book on a “best seller” list? Does that mean it sold a million copies? How does a book become a best seller? You might be surprised to know that there’s no set number of copies or standard formula which defines any one “best seller books” list. All the well known lists use different criterion to determine which are best seller books and which are not. One well-respected list is so snooty, they won’t even divulge their secret formula.

I am a business owner that has learned a fair amount about marketing. One day when talking to a friend of mine, Jeff Buick, I found out this truth of how books are sold and what has to be done by the author if he is to get more books out there. Everything is fine once you have 6-7 books on the shelves and you have a loyal following. But just like every other business books need to have marketing behind them. What we came up with is a prequel to Jeff's latest book Shell Game. This prequel is called 'End of the Con' and is a short story that entails some of the characters in the book, but before the novel actually takes place. This is free for anyone to download. I will report back with the results in a couple of months. Check it out at www.jeff-buick.com Thanks, Kelly I agree with what you say.
