November 21, 2023: Book Sales and Profits

  • November 21, 2022
  • site-admin

When I started out writing this book, it was never about profitability. In fact, I spent more money on buying distribution rights, travel to Texas, website server/web application firewall, file storage, and other electronics than I will ever make back. With that said, here are a few statistics about the book sales and net profits.

I started selling the book in paper and eBook format in September 2022. Since then, readers have purchased 128 books, with 17 purchased as eBooks.

Total sales have net me $595.77

This is about what I would expect from a niche’ book such as this. As the author, I can purchase 999 books at printing cost, which is about $30 per book. I bought 20 books at cost for a total of around $600. Many of these I have given away or will mail to folks that helped me out during the writing process.
