How do I understand the Book Stats information?

We recommend you watch our free help videos where you'll see all of the ways that ReaderLinks in the Author Helper Suite lets you see what's going on with your book.


The most powerful use for the data is to spot trends. Look for where your sales spikes are. When did they happen? What caused them? Take your best guess if you must and make a note in the AHS Calendar to research it. Also, be sure to watch the click stats for your links. It's possible that one of your posts is causing the bump!
