Monthly Recap: September 2020

Month two, in the books! Minor change moving forward: I am just going to record the amount of sales made in a month, in that month, rather than when it actually pays out.

Anyway, some moves I made this month were to start charging for all my games in Itch, and to get them all uploaded to DriveThruRpg. I have been really pleased with how well they have been selling on DriveThruRpg, even though I just have them set to pay what you want. TeePublic had a few sales, same for Amazon Merch. And I got my first Redbubble sale. No sales on TeeSpring, but I don't have all my designs up there yet either. I lost a big patron on Patreon, but that isn't totally unexpected, with the podcast being on hiatus due to covid. Book sales are still trash, but then I never promote them really and all the good stuff is still locked in edit limbo. Increasing my price on fiverr from 5 to 10 has also made a huge difference.

Social media Growth:

• Facebook page: 553/566 Likes/Follows (Decrease of one like)

• Instagram: 320 (Increase of 3)

• Twitter: 261 (Increase of 4)

• Cult of Crimson Facebook Page: 144 (increase of 24)

• Youtube: 68 subscribers (increase of 7) (new videos: 2)

Income:

• 406.00 - Fiverr. Slightly less, sure, but last month took me 34 gigs to break 400. This month took 18. Increasing my prices has paid off big.

• 16.95 - Amazon Merch (total items sold: 5) (July earnings, pays a month behind)

• 4.20 - Redbubble

• 18.00 - TeePublic

• 0.00 - TeeSpring

• 14.00 - Itchio. No games are free anymore really, but I have a bundle of all my horror games running for cheap at the moment.

• 57.83 - Drivethrurpg. Finally have all my games up here, set for pay what you want. And folks are paying!

• 25.71 - Patreon (patrons: 4) I lost one of my two 20 dollar patrons, but that's not surprising considering the podcast has been on hiatus.

• 0.35 - Book sales/KENP

• 6.22 - Amazon Affiliate Income

Expenses:

• 5.00 - Libsyn

Total made in September:

• 544.26 (495.41 last month)

• Increase of: 47.95

Final Thoughts

An increase of almost 50 bucks in a month! If I can keep this rate of growth going, I feel pretty good about reaching my goal.
