Checking your royalties can be so addicting 😅 Even though I haven’t published any new books in a while, I still check my royalties every single day. I have ads running and books still working in the background, so it’s always interesting to wake up and see money coming in while I sleep. One thing I’ve noticed is how much sales can fluctuate from day to day. You might see $25 one day and then suddenly $125 the next. Sometimes there’s an obvious reason, and sometimes Amazon just likes to keep us guessing. This is why I always remind people not to panic over a slow day. Trends matter more than individual days. For those of you who already have books published: What sales patterns or trends have you noticed? Are weekends better? Certain seasons? Ad changes? I’d love to hear your takeaways 👇
