July 2011 Sales Numbers

Here's the first post with monthly sales numbers. I plan to post these once every month. I'll list all the eBooks I have for sale and the amounts they sold during the month, even if the number is zero. I've also updated the Sales Numbers page with the total current sales numbers as of July 31, 2011.

Paid Sales for the month of July 2011 are:

7 - All My Fiction

3 - The Present

1 - Running To Keep Her

0 - Sunrise (Miscorrection)

0 - Copy Bird

0 - Arrogation (Miscorrection)

0 - Going Home

0 - Felix Culpa (Miscorrection)

0 - Awry (Miscorrection)

0 - Panacea (Miscorrection)

0 - Josie Dorri And The Coffee Ban

I have also changed the pricing scheme for my eBooks. I did this based off of this post: The Real Problem With $.99 Ebooks. The structure sounded good, and I like that the price can help identify the length of the work. While I know it's impossible, I hope other indie authors adopt this same structure. I feel if they do, it can stabilize the prices of eBooks consumers search for, and help them to make better decisions on what to buy. As you know, the current landscape of indie author eBook pricing fluctuates so much, that you never really know what you are going to get. This may not be the solution to the problem, but it could help it!

~~Here is my new pricing structure~~. The below pricing structure is no longer in effect. Of course, I'm the only author who is also giving you the exchange rate pricing in Tacos:

$0.99 (1 Taco) - Books less 10,000 words

$1.99 (2 Tacos) - Books 10,001 to 20,000 words

$2.99 (3 Tacos) - Books 20,001 to 50,000 words

$3.99 (4 Tacos) - Books 50,001 to 75,000 words

$4.99 (5 Tacos) - Books 75,001 to 100,000 words

$5.99 (6 Tacos) - Books 100,001 words to ???

See you next month with the latest numbers. Just remember that by purchasing one or more of my eBooks, you could have an effect on next month's sales report!
