But it took couples of years to get to that point with only around 20 buys?
Viewing post in 📚 Do books sell well here?
I do not understand. If you want to know what is being sold, just look at the top sellers. There are no numbers shown, but higher up probably means more sales, maybe adjusted for recentness of the item.
But Itch is geared for games. If you look at top-rated, you will see most books having a lot less than 100 ratings, while top-rated games have several thousand ratings.
If you have a special interest item, it might look better. Like that game development book mentioned below. But selling books in general here? That's only gonna work, if you are known elsewhere. Like, you have a website and use Itch as a store.
