Monthly Recap: September 2022

Alright! September is in the books! Lets dive into the numbers shall we!

First up, lets adress that this is a post launch month, so sales of books were expected to be higher this month than normal, and that panned out nicely. In fact it was a better post launch month in that regard than the last time, by almost exactly 50 bucks. So that was nice, and hopefully I can keep that going. It has been nice to see that I am getting sales and/or kenp reads every day now, again, hopefully that will carry on for...ever really haha.

Otherwise, my socials basically stalled out or shrunk except for twitter or anything Hilltop Howler related. Man do I wish my other socials grew at the rate of my non-profit, wouldn't that be nice?

In other odds and ends: I managed to get my podcasting costs down slightly, by 2.50 a month. I sold five copies of a shirt that, honestly, I am sorta surprised I ever sold one of, much less five in one go. And as always, whenever I see my piddly little rpg sales I am always struck with the thought of 'man, I really should do more with that.' Will I? Of course, one day. Is that day today? No.

Because today is book launch party day!!! So hopefully this report next month will be fat from some in person sales. Wish me luck!
