I'm going to do it for the past month, because I did make a personal goal, whatever its significance.
With all venues together that I know about (North Country Cache is in a number of bookstores on consignment. I won't know those sales numbers for months), here are the July results. All the others are ebook sales.
Devotions for Hikers- 1
Fall Off the Couch Laughing- 2
North Country Cache (paperback only)- 2
News from Dead Mule Swamp- 43
The Hollow Tree at Dead Mule Swamp- 977 (free)
Paddy Plays in Dead Mule Swamp- 27
Total ebooks sold for money- 73
My goal was to have more than 2 sales a day, and I made that. I've been promoting quite a lot, so my goal for August is 3 sales a day.
Sometimes it's really discouraging. It takes a ton of work to get people to buy, even with good reviews. All of the books now have several reviews by people who are not friends, but how is a potential buyer to know that? How does one continually find new pools of people to promote to?
It's a challenge!
Hey- if you haven't "liked" the books on Amazon, or agreed with the tags, it would be great if you would do that. It only takes a minute!

(A month after I made this post I realized that I had not been checking the Smashwords report from their other distribution outlets. So in addition to the above, I sold 16 News from DMS, 2 Paddy Plays in DMS, 1 Toby & Harry, for a total of 19 more books.)

73 in the month sounds pretty good to me. I was one of the buyers of Fall off the Couch Laughing. But I haven't been able to read it yet because I lost my Kindle. I got a new one yesterday though, and all my books from Amazon are on it. I just need to upload the Smashwords ones now.
