Most authors that get accepted have more than 1 book. So those 3000 buys are just on one book.
Also if the book is exclusive to Amazon, the author gets the regular royalty of 70%.
Bookbub is not a bookstore but an advertiser. Note, those subscribers are across all genres. Where does it say that many subscribe to Crime Fiction.
Here is the thing, Bookbub is for getting visibility.
As a wise man once said, one has to invest money to make money.
Yes, this guy runs sales, yes he uses Bookbub and other advertisers. He also works his butt off.
Wait I know at least 3 that fit that profile.
All three make more in a month than my household brings home in a year.
So no, authors are not getting duped.
Side note: if you get a BB, chances are some of the smaller advertisers might pick you up. So more sales for the same buck.
