Hm. Not so awesome actually. The threads I saved didn't really have any numbers. Back to the populace on this one.

Well I have no shame, so I'll come clean. Let's see if I've got the math right:

!) Number of books self-published: 1 (Tanil)
2)Number of copies sold: 16 (15 ebooks through Amazon and Smashwords and 1 paperback through Createspace)
3)Total income: $7.93 (USD)

Mind you, that's with little to no advertising, pushing my book, spamming, and all those other vital things you need to make your book one of the most ignored -- er, I mean, beloved indie writings. Man, for someone who claims to have no shame I'm not much of a salesperson. I'm sure other people on here have much better numbers than this.

I'm not self-published but I can give you my numbers if you want to compare.

1

1,250 units

@ 99 cents a download at only 35% royalty ... you do the math its depressing. HOWEVER- made double that amount when I let them put it in the KINDLE library about three weeks ago.

Of course thats just the single. The collection( as it once was uploaded on here) is out for editing.

No print-on-demand?

Do most of your sales come from your own promotional efforts, or do you get a lot of sales that come from nowhere?
