    Thanks for the Rep transfer Harry! To answer your and Kaptains questions: - I only give them a lump sum per book, never a percentage of sales. It is a bigger investment at first but after some time the book is paying for the initial investment and is generating profit. The saying is true: It...

    Ok, I understand now. The truth is that I do not paid advertising at all. I only do those 3 things when a new book is released: - send e-mail newsletter to my list of subscribers - short update on my author page blog - post on my author facebook page the link to the new book

    Break down for you everything? Seriously? I am very busy and I will not do this. If you believe that you can not make money from 5K books, it is not my job to "convince" you otherwise. I said too much already in my previous posts and I will not disclose my numbers in the future anymore. When I...

    Thank you! Yes, I still publish in German language only. I will start searching for good translators next year and also publish in English then. Unfortunately I had to take a day job in October, because of the high costs for health insurance and social security for self-employed people. I have...

    Hey Pete, I have another question regarding outsourcing. Until now I was writing short content by myself and hired freelancers to write several 5K word stories. But now I would like to produce a 40k - 50k word fiction novel. Your "Gauntlet" testing method is great. Do you have any other advice...

    This is such a coincidence, I am actually also using Angie (pro-ebook covers) on Fiverr and yes, she is awesome! The only downside is that she has so many customers waiting that it always takes 4 days for her to deliver.

    Thanks for your reply and advice Pete! PS: Just want to clarify that it was a reandom screenshot for illustration purposes only (and not my book title). I have no books in US store yet but will do so this year. #600 position in US store would be a dream coming true!

    @AlterJoule : my screen used to look the same as yours! dozens of open tabs, reading daily this forum but doing nothing. It took me almost one year reading and rereading one specific GOLD thread until I finally started executing. Also a big thank you to @MJ DeMarco and @Held for Ransom
