The removal was simply a test. I've been happy with KU since I started this writing journey, and I really didn't have any intentions to leave the platform for good, unless the sales on other platforms out-performed. Long story short, the evidence I had read a few months ago was hardly correct in my case. Sure, I only gave it a few months, but I also spent a moderate amount on promotion, and saw very little in return. Based on past performance, it is possible I could have had the same results by keeping it in the KU. Besides the poor return on investment, I also had more than one comment to my social media posts asking if The Blue Hole was available on KU, to which I would have to reply, "No." While The Blue Hole was still available for purchase on the Kindle, not being available in the KU program appeared to have hindered all Amazon sales for that book during that short two month period.
Now, the results I saw from this little experiment may not be the same for everyone else, and it's possible that I went about it the wrong way which produced poor results. I'd be happy to hear if you or anyone else you know has had different or similar results. The bottom line for me is: The Blue Hole is now back to being exclusive to Kindle Unlimited, just like my other books! So if you're a subscriber, you can read it right now, for FREE!
