My latest entry on my journey selling my adventures. Knowledge Illuminates has been for sale just under two months and March turned out to be a better month than I expect. I participated in the GM's Day sales RPGNow had in the beginning of the month and that helped increase my sales.
For March, I had 15 sales for a total 52 sales. Ten of the sales were during the GM's Day Sale. The gross sales for March were $50, making the total gross sales $198. So March put $32.50 into my pocket for a total of $128.70. A total of 17 comp copies have been downloaded.
Right now there are 18 people who have Knowledge Illuminates on their wish list and 3 have it in their cart. The total product views at RPGNow is 3654 for an average of 70.3 views per sale.
I was pleased with the sales from GM's Day sale. What I didn't do well is get more progress done on the new Starter Adventures. Most of my extra time was spent editing Rob Conley's Blackmarsh and working on my One-Page Dungeon contest. So where as I did get some things done I did not get what I wanted done. I am hoping to finish the rewrites of the original Starter Adventures then double the size. Get Rob to do some maps and then get some very cool pictures. I plan on offering the original version of Start Adventures for free with the addition of the maps. The new Starter Adventurers will be double or more the size, with maps and art included. This will be my first attempt at using the print option. I hope April proves to be a productive month.
It's Friday!!! I am so glad.

Good of you to put the figures out, very open. It's a great journey to follow. If you want a thumbnail link at mine, it's yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Friday's here too.
Not sure what a thumbnail link, but it sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news, Tim, congratulations! I know that $128.70 isn't a huge amount of money, but it at least subsidize your gaming habit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tim. I've purchased a copy, I just need to find the time to read it ;)!
ReplyDeleteSean > Partically subsidize. Ha. My eyes and reading habits consume much more than I make, but I have been reading through my backlog of goodies instead of buying new
ReplyDeleteJohnathan > Great I hope you like it. Drop me a line and tell me what you think. I am sure you'll be going through it reading it with your artist's eye and be thinking Tim should have put a picture of that in there.
@ Tim - Have a look at one of the 'promo' posts. The last was this morning, but they all have the details. I'm basically making space for pics and links to self-published games, supplements, art and books in the left-hand sidebar. There are four up already. No OSR yet, but no reason why not.
ReplyDeletePorky: You are such a good egg.
ReplyDeleteSharing your experience with selling your work on RPGNow is very, very appreciated. I'd considered trying that myself, and anyone who has gone before and is willing to talk about it gives me a better idea of what to expect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI bought one! I'm using it with my newly (re)formed group now and will post a play report when we finish, likely next week.
ReplyDeleteI like it so far!
Pro Pope > Much appreciated. Please let me know how it goes. Been wondering if anyone had used it yet and how the party fared.
