Kim Kardashian has 41 million Instagram followers, but RadarOnline.com has learned that her online popularity didn’t translate into huge sales for her book of selfies, Selfish.
The book was released to much fanfare and social media promotion in May, and as of mid-July Kardashian was still promoting the book via Instagram posts.
But reps for Nielsen Bookscan told Radar exclusively that so far, it has only sold 32,000 copies. That represents just 0.8% of Kardashian’s Instagram fans. (*Nielsen BookScan’s U.S. Consumer Market Panel currently covers approximately 85% of the print book market and continues to grow.)
What’s more, the book is a critical flop online. Sitting at 1,607 in books, it’s ranked only 2.5 stars after 661 customer reviews. And those reviews have been scathing.
The article states that, in comparison, Lauren Conrad's book sold 500,000 its first year.
Poor Kim. She should've known, selfies are available on her Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for FREE, and she also has a sextape so you can view as much as her as you want to. There was no need for a book of selfies.
Lauren SLAYING.
