Of course in this model I kept almost all of that revenue with a small amount of marketing/selling costs. No returns, no inventory, no printing, no agent, no publisher and did it without an editor. I did a lot of personal selling using various methods over the years but it is an indicator that self-publishing definately has its place in the growth of the eBook.

I easily netted $20 per sale. Of course, the fiction market is a different animal but eBooks and self-pub will change the entire industry as we know it today.
Wow! That's very impressive. Coodles to you! Where can I find your book?
