Monthly Recap: March 2024

TRANSPARENCYMONTHLY RECAP

3/31/20242 min read

Alrighty, March is behind us, so it's time for my monthly recap post! As always, I'm gonna be diving into the numbers behind my sales and socials!

On the sales front, it was a pretty ok month. The lions share came from my appearance fees for teaching workshops and hosting critique sessions at the Alabama/Atlanta Writing Workshops. While that was not a sales focused event, I still managed to get 190 in sales at them as well. So those two days made the month really, which was nice. Everything else was about on par, nothing crazy. I did get a suprise royalty from a zine magazine I contributed to years back, for 7.55. I technically could have been logged under my itch income, as the zine is on there, but I decided to list it out seperate. Over time I am betting there will be more occasional random items like that, so I will make a point to note them as they occur.

When it comes to social media, my big win was finally breaking 100 subscribers on Youtube! That's been a goal for a long time now, and it was my Organic Marketing for Authors video that put me over the edge, and got me 7 new subscribers (I'm guessing). Otherwise it was a somewhat slow month for growth. I was excited to get a new discord server member. I am also starting to give a lot more thought to my email list. A friend of mine tried an experiment where they had folks basically re-opt in for their newsletter, which cost them like, 95% of their list. But the folks who remained were super engaged. So, I am going to keep an eye on the long term results of that experiment, to maybe toy around with at some future point.

Here are the numbers:
