Thanks, Clover. Glad it resonated for you. We don’t all shoot off like rockets, but you can still build a nice, sustainable career. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. These realistic numbers are great to have.

Yeah, July rocked! Of course, they were 99 cent books. August will be half the volume but hopefully a better pay cheque.

And how about you, sista? New book out in less than 48 hours. Are you jittering from all the chocolate yet? 🙂

Woot! Those a great numbers, Carol. And an excellent demonstration of the importance of those extra titles. As for the 99 cent book, I flirted with that a bit. Climbed the charts with my funny cozy mystery (a poor man’s Stephanie Plum-type proposition), but after a while, looking at earnings, I realized I’d have to sell 6 books at 99 cents to beat the one I’m selling at $2.99. I’ll continue experimenting. In fact, now that I have a second book in that series (Dix Dodd Mysteries), I’m going to try making book 1 free, hopefully leading to eventual mass purchases of Book 2 at $2.99. Wish me luck!

That’s a very good start, Regina. You’ll note my start was basically with 4 books that went up in quick succession. And your inch by inch motto is perfect. Every new story, every new blog, every new tweet, is another opportunity for people to find you. 🙂

You are so welcome, Randy. I’m only following the lead of my fabulous indie friends (Debra, Theresa, are you listening?). Delle Jacobs, too. If it weren’t for Delle generously sharing her know-how, I likely wouldn’t have dared dip my toe in last year. Sharing our experiences is so important. It’s the best way we can equip ourselves to make the best of this opportunity. 🙂

Thanks, Maureen! And I’ll drink to that toast (tripling sales) and send it right back atcha! What I love about indie publishing is that it’s not a zero sum game. One author’s success isn’t at the expense of another. There are not a limited number of slots, like in trad publishing. May we all flourish!

Thanks, Debora! I think it’s important for people to see you can overcome a slow start. Also, that success comes in different ways to all of us. I’m the slow and steady tortoise. 🙂

Thanks, Debra! I have to say, August is looking a little lazy compared to July. I’ll have to try to stir things up!
