Monthly Recap: March 2022

Better late than never! Right? So lets dive in!

So I as able to bump up my email list a decent chunk, thanks to Fandemic! I really need to be growing that, so anytime that number goes up it brings a smile to my face. Also, I was able to sell a good number of books in person! So that was the lions share of sales. Without those, sales would have been roughly the same as last month (which I suspect may be the new normal for a bit).

My overall strategy right now is to get the next three Marsh books out within a year. That will mean I have six books in the series, which should start to generate a good chunk of reads on KU. I also am trying to get in on more conventions and market days, which I am hoping will turn into a solid money stream. The dream is one event a month at least, but life is kinda hectic what with the new job, so we'll have to see how that plays out. I am also looking into some method of 'going wide' with my books that might enable me to stay enrolled in KU. Likely by bundling the books into omnibuses, and selling that version off Amazon. But we'll have to wait and see on that one.
