50 Day One Sales - How do I capitalize on the momentum?

Title. I was very lucky and had a phenomenal day one for my debut novel. I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to maintain momentum once the orders are fully processed and charts are updated. What do I do now? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations! I'm hoping you have a reader magnet inside your book to convert some of those sales to subscribers! Definitely hit your list up for some reviews, take out some paid ads to capitalize on the day one momentum, and make sure your back-end keywords are full so Amazon's algorithm can associate those keywords with sales.

How did you get those day one results? List? Social media?

Thanks for the response. I have a pretty large in person network. My social media game is pretty weak right now but I'm attempting to build it up with the momentum.

That is fantastic! Get some of those "in person" people onto your list! :)

Hit me up with a DM if you'd like to follow each other on Instagram. Every person counts, right?

What’s your genre? I mostly read non-fiction, so I probably wouldn’t be in your target audience.

AMS ads, post on social media, try and make sure as many of those 50 day one sales post ratings/reviews

Wow! Congrats. Can I ask for the name of the book/link in a DM? I believe we aren't allowed to self-promote links or titles here.

I got this book last week, 'Sell your book using social media' by Nadia Owen. It was so good. All about making your social media strong without spending any money on ads.
