Just two months after publication, The Coach Gaither Story compares well with similar books by famous authors that have been on the market for years. See the snapshot below of our sales rankings against books in the same category.
Equally impressive: we beat the lifetime sales of most self-published books in the first 20 days after publication.
The Nonfiction Author’s Association says: “… most self-published authors will likely sell around 250 books or less.” That’s over the entire lifetime of the book. We sold over 250 copies of our book in the first 20 days–mostly by word of mouth, with limited promotion, no reviews, and only one in-person book event. Our person-to-person sales are good because of the meaningful connections that Joe has built and maintained all of his life.
Many thanks to Joe’s players, colleagues, church members, and hometown fans! Special thanks to those who bought multiple copies.
