What would I like?

 To earn my royalties this year

Draft2Digital

My goal as a writer this year is to sell three of my eBook content on Draft2Digital, by doing this I can be paid my royalties for the first time in three year. After that, I may write again, and add the new book to my Amazon page

I am in SHOCK

 Will I be paid by my 70th Birthday?

Draft2Digital

I sold an eBook on Draft2Digital today, while that may not appear odd as I have been writing for over a decade, this is the first sale this year.

The image on the cover does not relate directly to the story, but it does relate indirectly. The story is about a flood which occured while I was living in Clevedon, North Somerset.

The cover is a photograph I took in Scarborough, North Yorkshire in 2010, five years earlier Scarborough suffered a severe storm similiar to the one in my short story which tore the sea front open.

Though I have many ebook on the site, I doubt I shall be paid by my 70th birthday, in two years time.

                                                                      The way things are

The way I get my royalties from Draft2Digital for eBook sales, I am not expecting any fees until at the earliest around my 70th birthday, if I am alive then, in three years time.

The reason for this is the site lends books to libraries, and the writer rarely sells enough to be paid for their writing.

The only plus for me, is when I was on Amazon, I was fortunate to sell.

I am not using Draft2Digital

 Barnes & Noble

From now on, I am not using Draft2Digital as the source of my eBook sales; for years I had my doubts about the site. Despite their spread, my sales never increased, I was fortunate to be paid every other year.

The only site which sold my eBooks is Barnes & Noble.

My main sales channel 

Draft2Digital

Over the years, Barnes & Noble have been my main sales channel on Draft2Digital. I would estimate about 8%% of my eBook sales are from there.

I earned over $440 dollars from B&N, while that may appear good for an Indie Writer, I have been on the site for almost 12 years, which brings the sales to less than $4.00 per annum.
