Sales Report: Everblossom and Angel Diaries

You know, a lot has happened between July and now. I simply cannot WAIT to share the excellent news I've been keeping to myself.

I got my FIRST paycheck! Full squeal and clapping hands!

Yeah me!!

So let's break this down into months and percent earnings and all of the other technical stuff for Strictly Everblossom.

July: 1

August: 0

September: 1 (Smashwords)

October: 1 (Amazon UK)

I know this looks pitiful for Everblossom. However, when I release Everblossom 2, I think the sales for the first one will go up. If not, it's still there ready to be taken full advantage of.

I think the main thing to remember is that: Everblossom hasn't paid any bills or gas. 

Angel Diaries: Volume One has! 

Check this out!

August: 5

September: 4

October: 1

Total: 10

Smashwords: 4

Amazon US: 2

Amazon UK, ES, IT, DE, FR: 0

Createspace: 0

B&N: 4

I already got paychecks from Barnes and Noble AND Amazon! :)

Happy dance! Together they total: 23 bucks!

That's why I think B&N been holding out on my as far as sales wise since I got paid by them in October but they didn't report any sales. I think it's the same way with Smashwords since I'm very close to getting a paycheck from them too but they haven't reported a lot of sales . . .

Anyway, main point: Angel Diaries is doing fantastic. Please remember: I didn't market this book at all! Can you imagine what's going to happen when I start marketing this book during the holidays!?

I simply cannot wait!

And now that I have some free time, thanks to some interesting switches from work, I now have time to market, blog, and conversate about my book! Yippee skippee.

You know these past couple of months have been rough, my job wise. And not just strictly from the kids. Administration has been just pure . . . Not nice syrup has been poured all over me from them. 

But looking at my books has been my saving grace. It's the one hope I hold onto when I walk into work and face some demons. That maybe, someday, with the extra time that I now have, that I can make some real money from my books.

Oh wait. What am I talking about? I HAVE made some REAL money from my books. Now all I have to do is just make those profits grow and I may be able to take a giant leap from working at a place I can barely stand and may even laugh at a little (thanks to my family and my fantastic coworkers) to working at home with all of my characters surrounding me with their lovely stories.

I seriously cannot wait! :)

And yes, you read that right: I got a sale in the UK! I definitely had a woo hoo moment there.

 

The not so woo hoo moment here is my sales. They are flat lining. I need to publish some more books and quick! Ack, I was hoping that I could finish editing Angel Diaries by now, but my publish schedule is so off.

So I need to get back on my writing schedule (and yes, I wrote a writing schedule minute by minute, and hour by hour), and keep writing for Everblossom 2. At least I know what I need to do, I just have to do it now.

Not really surprised my sales are tanking, but this is why I will pick up my marketing strategies and hopefully, the boost of sales thanks to the release of Angel Diaries will help me out. But I know there's no guarantees, especially with sales. It's a finicky little thing! :)

Anyway, those are my results. However, I just noticed, that I I'm selling in the two digits now!

Happy day.

Total amount of sales: 16 sales!

Soon I'll be in the triple digits and getting my first paycheck. I know you guys are wondering why I haven't gotten my first paycheck yet, and that's partially because of the low price. It's only 99 cent eBook and I only get 35 percent of that, so I only get 35 cents or 40 cents (depending on the distrubutor) per book sale. So let's do the math!

16 X 0.35=5.60 bucks!

Woohoo! Half way there towards my first pay check.

I know some people may wonder: Why don't you simply raise the price!?

I don't raise the price since it's just a small collection of short stories and poetry. So I can't raise them in good faith. However, the combined collection (Everblossom 1 and Everblossom 2) will be between 1.99 to 2.99. I haven't decided yet, so I'll let you guys know when the second one will be available along with the combined edition comes out.

Should be very interesting. I think I'm like halfway there to getting Everblossom 2 out. So hold on to your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

I know, strange right? I haven't done any marketing and what happens? I get sales at Barnes and Noble and Smashwords! Sounds like a good thing that I don't plan to market this month either. At least not as heavily as I would like. :P I guess we'll have another sales report for this month.

Additionally, I'll be releasing Angel Diaries (cover coming soon, hopefully!) in April. At least that's the aim to release it in April. Hopefully my sales will shoot through the roof since I'm pretty sure that Angel Diaries will be awesome once I get done with editing it, but yeah. That's the plan.
