All of my books are enrolled in a thing that allows me to get a little money from people who read my books without having to buy my books. It’s a neat system, and it works out pretty okay for me.
But so far in June, several people have read my books, but nobody has bought one of my books. In fact, since late May I haven’t sold a single copy.
Now, that might sometimes be a cause for concern. The only real downside at this point is that I was on track for a stellar year, and this is going to put a little hiccup in that year, back down to a merely good year. That’s okay, just steps on the path to being a full-time writer, but a little discouraging.
The real trick is not panicking and doing a bunch of stuff to try and get those numbers back. Three weeks isn’t long enough to draw good conclusions about anything in such a small and limited pool. I’m going to keep pushing ahead with my work, the way I always do, and hope that the release of my novel will help pump my number back up a bit. That would be great.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
