2022 Royalties
Transparency is something really important to me, particularly because, as I started my indie journey, it became very clear to me that what happens behind the scenes is far more important than what the rest of the community sees. You might see that an author has made a huge amount of money without realizing exactly how much that author has spent to reach the point of publishing. You don't know how to compare your numbers to others. The reports matter. The details matter.
Which is why I'm sharing my numbers. I've been sharing them for a while, first on a baby author patreon and now on my website. These are the early numbers, as I haven't been paid out and the amount will change based on KDP's whim. This also doesn't include signed books and ACX. But, here's a quick look at my numbers for 2022.
January $2,732.72 February $3,303.44 March $4,322.05 April $3,645.15 May $2,573.07 June $2,035.30 July $2,330.91 August $2,163.22 September $3,154.17 October $4,253.81 November $2,594.90 December $2,617.07 TOTAL: $35,824.45
If you're interested in more numbers, feel free to check out Author Stats on my blog. Note, 2022 Q4 and 2022 Whole won't be up for a few more weeks until pay out is complete. You can also see all of my self publishing resources there as well.
And if you have any questions, just ask.
