Hey Everyone, I've been self-publishing on Kindle for the past year or so. I started out in non-fiction and had little success. After publishing 24 non-fiction books, in April I decided to try my hand at publishing fiction. I published a few more fiction ebooks over the next few months and saw they were way more lucrative than the non-fiction books I published. In mid-August I made the decision to go for it and publish as many fiction books as possible until Christmas. I outsource the writing and cover design, and I do all of the editing myself. Each ebook costs me $50 to create, including cover.
As of mid-August I had 5 fiction ebooks published. Between August 29th and today, Sept.26th, I have published 9 more fiction ebooks. Since July 1st, I have gone from around 20 downloads (sales and KU borrows) per day to as many as 92 downloads in a day. My average downloads per day for the past week was 81.
I've started this thread to keep myself more accountable to keep publishing a few books every week. I feel like I have a lot of momentum going, and I want to maintain it. I've uploaded a screen shot of my sales dashboard since July 1st.
I'm motivated to publish as much as I can over the next few months (3-5 books per week) so I can spend more time with my family and have more freedom. I am definitely sacrificing some present comforts and time to achieve this goal, but I look at my downloads increasing every week and it keeps me motivated.
My first goal is to get 100 downloads per day. I am planning on achieving this sometime in October. My next goal after that is 200 downloads per day, which I could see happening by Christmas.
I'll keep you all posted on my progress!
