July numbers are in -- I think? This is my third month in this venture.
Last time i'll talk about sales.
Sales comes in about the same as amount-displayed-on-my-rep-bank ATM. Which leads me to conclude: the more post on FLM forum the higher the sales.
<--- approx that number
I still don't know the deal with the borrows. But I had a day with 80 borrows.
Highlights
- Made a foray into erotica. Wrote three books super fast (+6 days) in three themes. One book, I just got so pissed off that nobody bought it at launch that I put it on the KDP free watchamacullit. First time I dabbled in it. Got 100 dls in a day which translates to what exactly? Fish and chips. I think i'll finish the other books I have off erotica and go back to the bread and butter.
- I should be happy but I'm not. I realize how much of a slog this will actually be. I'm thinking i'll need way more than HFR to get the same income.
Cue Bruno Mars music: I wanna be a millionaire so frikking bad
- Sales never dropped less than five? wahoooo. So yeah. I wanna get my book count to 20 by the end of August. There seems to be an upward trend. Whether it materializes or if I can sustain it is the suspense/thriller part of this progress thread.
- I'm actually a pretty fast writer, which was something I knew before starting this venture. But now I am starting to see how quality must be incorporated with the speed. And I have a plan.
- Started an amazon scraper project (which ill develop myself time-permitting) [php+mysql]
- Hopefully things improve A WHOLE LOT WHOLE LOT. This is hardwurk -- if you're thinking about entering this, realize it aint gon b ec.
Maybe I should have bought a 3D printer and churned prototypes instead of books.. nahhhh. We'll all get there eventually.
