July 9th: The free magnets from CafePress arrived yesterday. They are quite nice. I’ll include them in a picture soon which I plan to take of the entire marketing kit I’m going to send out.
July 10th: The first person who I helped with their book cover paid me an additional 20 dollars for assisting them with formatting. That’s an additional $19.12 after the Paypal fees.
Total money invested on this project to date (after book sales only): $582.63
Total money invested on this project after all sales and services: $505.55
Another $99.92 and I will have paid for my BookCover Pro program! And I do have two more book cover projects in the works for people.
July 12th: Two things to report today. After helping two more people with bookcovers, I’ve made another $130.00. That got knocked down to $125.63 after Paypal’s fees, but my BookCover Pro Program is now paid for.
Total money invested on this project to date (after book sales only): $582.63
Total money invested on this project after all sales and services: $379.92
Also, I made phone calls to two B&N stores in Memphis this week, only because I used to live there and people I know still work there. I told them about my new book and tried to get them to short list it. One store said they would. The other said it’s non-returnable so a customer would have to prepay for it, but he’d mention it to the manager since they could override that and order it in since I was from there. (Fingers crossed.)
