I've decided to run an experiment regarding e-stories published on amazon.com. A fellow writer swears by Dean Wesley Smith's numbers. I'll let you read them, and then come right back.
Okay, so now that you are going to forget about trying to do this writer thing for a major publisher since you can make money putting up ebooks for 2.99 - 4.99, let's get realistic. I know, right? Who wants to ruin a perfectly good illusion with reality.
The thing is, these numbers aren't going to be for every writer who uploads 30 estories. Hence my experiment. Over this next month I plan on uploading at least 25 estories, and over the course of the next year, I'll report the income numbers. So you're thinking to yourself, yeah right. Why should I believe her numbers? Okay, fair enough. I'll screen shot the monthly sales reports.
I want other writers to see sales numbers for a fellow writer on the eve of publication with a major 6 big publisher. Meaning, a writer with little to no name recognition (unlike J.A. Konrath. Not that I don't buy his numbers, but I really do believe that his name recognition helped his sales, a lot). The rules are: any story I upload is one that was published previously (yes, I still have the rights), the cover will be designed by me. I will also do all the formatting/editing.
Anyone else want to play along? If so jump into the comments section.
