I think the great philosopher, Rodney \u201cRod\u201d Tidwell, best summed up both the existential question and the nature of an author\u2019s reality when he said, \u201cShow me the money.\u201d Sure, Jerry Maguire gets all the credit, but we all know Rod had life pegged. The thing that separates indie publishers from hobbyists is income. Measuring that income is part of the business of being an author, so knowing how to find your sales and royalties is a must.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the reasons we created our sales and reporting tools. We made this easy, so that you could concentrate less on spreadsheets and more on writing.<\/p>\n

The Basics\u20143 Easy Steps<\/b><\/h2>\n
