One day sales will give you the number of sales you must get in one 24-hour period to hit that ranking for a very short period of time. Sales per month will give you the number of sales you must maintain every 30 days to maintain that sales ranking. That means 10 sales in the last hour will boost your sales ranking faster than getting 10 sales in the last week.įor example, in order to hit #1,000 Kindle Best Sellers Ranking, your book either needs to sell 2,778 copies over a 30-day time period OR sell just 185 copies in a single 24-hour period (even if it is a brand new book with no previous sales). The Rule of 15 works because Amazon’s algorithm for sales rankings more heavily weights recent sales. We use “The Rule of 15” which means if you take the monthly sales needed to hit a certain bestseller ranking, all you have to do is divide that monthly sales number by 15 to calculate how many sales you need in one day (24 hours) to achieve that same sales ranking. ![]() Notice the Amazon Book Sales Calculator tells you how many sales you need to hit in EITHER one day OR one month to hit a certain bestseller ranking.
