Warren exclaimed excitedly, “60 thousand!”

Stunned, Mindy asked reflexively, “What do you mean, 60 thousand?”

“The daily sales! Yesterday's daily sales had exceeded 60 thousand books! It broke the sales record set by

“Murder Weapon” back then! In the last ten... no, 20 years... There hasn't been a book that achieved this level of

sales!”

Warren emphasized each word he spoke, “Ms. Harrison, your new book has exploded!”

It wasn't just a success, but it exploded in popularity!

At first, Warren also felt frustrated. Although he was mentally prepared for a tough start after publishing her new

book, he hadn't expected such dismal results.

Another editor, who had a long-standing rivalry with him, took this opportunity to mock Warren. He said that

Warren was old, and his judgment had dulled. Warren offered Mindy a deal worth over a million dollars and

signed her without hesitation, only for the book to be a total failure.

Warren ignored his rival's taunts. Instead, he focused on figuring out what the problem was. He had read all of

Mindy’s books. They were flawless in terms of thselection and plot twists in the content. Each book had the

potential to be a huge hit.

This time, they had even chosen the best of her works to be published first. Warren never thought that this

would be the result...

It didn’t make sense!

Was Mindy considered outdated? Indeed, she had disappeared from the thriller industry for ten years. But

“Murder Weapon” and “The Deserted School were still on the charts, consistently selling month after month. The

sales numbers weren't low either. Clearly, it wasn’t that she was forgotten! The more Warren thought about it,

the more puzzling it seemed. He decided to call a meeting with the publicity and marketing team. The content

was solid, and Mindy’s reputation was maintained. That meant the problem had to be with the marketing

strategy!

Sure enough...

After sthorough questioning, Warren discovered that the publicity team had focused their efforts on social

media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, which were popular with younger audiences. However, most of

Mindy’s readers were in the age group between 30 to 50 years old.

No wonder there was no traction. The target audience was completely wrong!

Warren immediately readjusted his strategy and shifted the promotional focus by the publicity team to book

blogs and writing forums. He even put up billboard ads. “Seven Days” sold over ten thousand copies that very

day, and sales continued to rise steadily over the following days.

But when was the moment the book started to go viral?

It all started about half a month ago.

A book reviewer with the social media handle, “Chubbyreader”, posted a status update on his account

He attached three pictures to his update, showing his own father engrossed in reading the book, along with a

shot of the book's cover.
