• Royalties: $19,000
• Profit: $3,000

How did I sell that many books? What marketing tactics worked, and which were a waste of time? Most importantly, what happened to $16,000 of the royalties I earned?

Whether you're thinking of trying self publishing, or you're trying to gain traction, this detailed report gives you an under-the-hood look at what seems to be a self-publishing failure…that may actually be a success.
