Lol! I didn’t know what I was getting into when I started exploring the number of books sold. I guess my awareness is increasing because I just found Bryan Catherman’ post called Understanding Bestseller Lists on his blog, Beyond the Binding.
It’s a pretty good description of both the types of best seller lists out there, […]
Like everyone else who wants to get a book written, in addition to expressing myself, I also want to know, or at least guess, about how many books I’ll be able to sell. You’d think it would be simple, and it would be easier if publishers were willing to let the public know how many […]
We’ve talked about writing a novel using your phone’s keypad, and we’ve talked about cell phones as a platform for ebooks.
Book marketing expert John Kremer points to an article in the New York Times called Thumbs Race as Japan’s Best Sellers Go Cellular. At this point, the novels are those that have been written for […]
Just Make Money Online points to a podcast where Jason Van Orden tells how he makes $70,000 a year with his podcasts and blogs. So I ran up freerice.com

Joe Wikert has an interview with Print Is Dead (both a book and a blog name) author Jeff Gomez. It covers a lot, including:

Questions (and some answers) about pricing
Some speculation about what we, as authors, should be doing about all this
If you’ve got any interest at all in writing […]
