I've never participated in one of these before...deep breath.
* Ebooks - I publish under four different names; the big alias I've been making $100-$400 dollars per month for several years. A few months I made over a thousand, but I haven't published anything new in months, thus the drop. Sales via Amazon (90%), Smashwords, BN, etc - I'm not on Google Play yet but on Apple, which is about 5x bigger than BN now.
* Adsense - back in the day I co-founded a niche social network, peaked at nearly $60K per month in adsense, despite being 11 years old, the site still gets a few hundred thousand visitors per month - I sold my stake in 2012.
* I'd like to add a 3rd here, but there isn't at present. Hopefully soon, keep posting these, they are hugely inspiring for all of us who mostly lurk.
- wicker 12y agoI've been kicking around the idea of writing something but I'd like to do it under my real name and so I'm paralyzed by the fear that I'll write something terrible and get bad reviews and it'll show up on my search results forever. Maybe I'm more afraid it'll just languish once it's written. I don't know. Can you talk a little more about the ebooks? How did you choose a topic and could you point at a useful reference or two for how to market?
