February 25th: I received $16.91 deposited today from Amazon, but this is not from Kindle sales. This is actually from Associate sales where people purchased my book through special links which I provided. I highly advise that you sign up for the Amazon Associates program because it’s like getting paid twice for your book. You’ll earn a commission from every thing they buy through the Amazon link, and you’ll also earn a royalty through Lulu for the distribution sales of your book. To join, scroll all the way to the bottom of any page on Amazon and click on Join Associates. They provide different tools to create your own bookstores, product links, etc.
Total money invested on this project to date (after book sales only): $216.95 (debt)
Profit made to date on this project after all sales and services: $300.18
With this being a short month, I almost expected to receive December’s Kindle sales today as well, but in the past that has come through on the 27th. December totaled $70.53. January of this year was the same, except 1 dollar less, and so far February has only reached $50.00. But with the release of the new Kindle 2 yesterday, I’m hoping the coming months will go back up again.
February 28th: I still haven’t received the December deposit for Kindle sales. I guess they follow their 60 day rule to the tee which means I’ll be waiting at least one more day. However, I spoke too soon in my last post about February being a slow month. This week alone my sales have almost doubled and I’m sitting at $84.00 for the month now. That’s my best month overall, and my highest since last September which was $83.13. Thank you, Kindle 2 owners!
