Serial self-publisher [0] here and loving it :-)
From a number's perspective, I think you can look at anything between $0 - $3000 a month for a popular technical book on Amazon. Maybe there are some even up at $3000 - $5000. That doesn't include what you get from publishing it through other channels as well.
That's only on point of viewing it though. I like more to see success from the recommendation/readers ratio perspective: How many of the people that have read your book would recommend it to someone else. That's where word of mouth comes into play that I find so much more worth than any money. It guarantees your book's success over the long term, not only for the launch. As every startup launch: it's a marathon and not a sprint! So make sure you deliver high quality or iterate towards high quality.

- CoreSet 8y agoThanks for the comment Robin! Your blog is an interesting case study - clean, good content, different monetization strategies (from what I can tell you have at least your infoproducts + consulting + affiliate + advertising). I'll have to study it more. I also use Hugo for static site gen!
- jklepatch 8y agoI never thought of publishing on amazon, interesting. Which tool do you use for editing your ebooks? So far I have self published my ebooks with the leanpub markdown editor. However it leaves a mention of leanpub inside the book. Pretty sure it wouldn’t be ok to have this for amazon.
