Monthly Recap: October 2023

TRANSPARENCYMONTHLY RECAP

10/31/20232 min read

Ya'll! YA'LL! I thought last month was good. This month was somehow even better! It is the best month I have ever had!

Money talk first! The surprise hit was the Sumiton Book Festival. I made over 700 bucks in about six hours, which is my all time record. It was the most money I have made at a single event, outside of Dragon Con, but was only a single day. I was blown away! Outside of that, I had a good run at Multiverse Con, was a guest at a book club where I sold about 200 bucks worth, and sold a few more at Southern Art and Makers Spooktober event. Technically this was a book launch month (but not really), so it was shaping up to be pretty normal on the online sales. But I did an AMA on reddit, and that gave me a huge boost! So ended up having a great month for online sales too. On the smaller streams: I realized I forgot to restart my bundle on Itch, shirts were about normal, and I am gonna have to make some new lists if I want to gain more traction with my affiliate link I think.

Super excitingly, my Patreon is up to 9 patrons! That's the highest it's been! Woohoo!

Now social media! Nothing major to report here as of this moment. I am in the midst of a builder, so that will mostly pay off next month I believe. Otherwise I am still not using Threads or Bluesky. And I am struggling to get traction in my Discord, even though I love it, because I have been so damn busy. I need a bunch of active folks to climb in and generate conversation organically, rather than it just being 'me me me' but I am a newb at it, so I have no real idea how to go about that. My dream is that I can break 1k follows before the end of the year, and tick off that box on my success list. It might happen, if I'm lucky.
