The Internet has the ability to make or break things with its growing reach, popularity and acceptance. The power of social media was felt by a former British school teacher after her novel, which had only sold two copies, became a bestseller following her now viral post.
After just selling two copies of her novel, Vicky Ball had previously written on X: “Sold 2 books.”
Since then the post went viral and garnered more than 24 million views.
After receiving extra attention on Internet, one of her books, titled Powerless, moved up in Amazon’s teen and young adult fiction chart, media reports said.
According to reports, people from across the globe started ordering her novel.
Elated by the result of her social media post, Vicky, who works at the University of Essex and lives in Colchester, described the past few days as ‘incredible’ and said she could not believe that such developments could have happened over her post.
“Good morning. Happy Monday. It has been an incredible few days. I still can’t believe all this has happened from one tweet! Thank you so much for all your support and lovely messages. It means so much. I’m off to work now Have a great day,” she wrote on X on Monday.
