Business is Booming (Or at Least it Sucks a Lot Less)

Hi! Yes, this figure right here.

I’m really not allowed to talk about it, but …

This is what I made from somebody. I can’t talk about who exactly. So don’t worry about that, but that’s how much I made from somebody, some month. I was paid. Anyway, I was paid this month, this much by somebody. I’m not going to say who. Just know that it was this much. And it’s always nice to get a little bit from that source, whatever that source is.

Anyway, having said that, I will just say that financially, I am so much better off than I was last year, now that I’m not paying for like a shitload of promotions. I have cut my costs by more than half. I mean it is astonishing how much I’ve cut my costs. I’m still not making a profit, but I am still actually at about the same revenue level, despite the fact that I’m not getting any option payments at this point.

So that means something is working in terms of book sales, I guess, or perhaps my online learning. I have to look at my figures and see, but not spending on promotions has helped me immeasurably.

So that’s just my first takeaway from what I’ve been doing lately. And just passing that along to you guys for what it’s worth. And I will talk to you later then.

See ya! 🙂

PS: It’s June 1st, which means it’s some Big Day or other. 🙂

PPS: If you’d like to start a website, with or without blog, here’s a link that might interest you. (It’s an affiliate link. Please don’t hate me. Don’t judge me. There, I said it!)

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
