Sad. I did $403k last month as an independent writer. All analog publishing. None of it from KDP. Be careful what advice you listen to.

- niederman 2y agoSurely you realize that this is not at all the typical experience for independent writers, though.
- vidarh 2y agoIt's not the typical experience for traditionally published writers either.
- mvkel 2y agoDo you feel fulfilled?
- for_i_in_range 2y agoYes.
- __mharrison__ 2y agoThat's awesome. As an author myself, I'd love to hear more. Also note, that you are an outlier. (Congrats!) Folks listening to you should not expect those results.
- sanswork 2y agoPretty sure it's just fantasy, it's easy to find his book from his comments. He has <5k followers and minimal engagement on any social media platform, his book does not have great reviews nor many of them on goodreads(150 reviews for a book that would have had to sell almost 25k copies in a month to get those numbers). Any conversation I've found in related subreddits seems negative.
- gizajob 2y agoWhat are your books about? Fiction or non- ?
- for_i_in_range 2y agoNon-fiction
- vidarh 2y agoThat's great for you. But the average full time author of books in the UK earned below minimum wage a few years ago, and that's fairly typical for developed countries. It's a profession that very heavily skews towards a tiny proportion of top earners.
- komali2 2y agoWhat books did you write? And what do you mean by "analog publishing?"
- jahewson 2y agoDon’t tell me, if I buy your book I can learn how to do it too?
- eertami 2y agoAnd I made $15million last month as a lottery winner.
