What has actually come in

SourcePeriodFigure
Amazon KDP book salesSeptember 1 to 28, 202626 copies, about $124.33 in royalties
Bookstore distribution (IngramSpark) print sales30 days to September 22, 202633 copies
Most recent KDP royalty paymentpaid September 29 for July sales$21.42
Appsto date$0, none launched yet
Music streams on Spotify12 months to July 27, 20263,846 streams

Royalties are paid about two months after the sale, and bookstore distribution about three, so money arrives well behind the sales above.

What the work could earn

These are illustrations, not forecasts. Each row is the real price of one sale, after the store's cut, multiplied by a round number of sales so the scale is easy to see. Nothing here predicts that those numbers will happen.

ProductEarned per saleAt 100 a monthAt 1,000 a month
A book, at September's actual average royalty$4.78$478$4,782
A $6.99 one time app (after Apple's 15% small developer rate)$5.94$594$5,942
A $5.99 a month app subscriber (same rate)$5.09$509$5,092
A First Reader member at $8 a month (after a ~10% + 50¢ fee)$6.70$670$6,700

The apps waiting on Apple sell for $2.99, $38.99, $6.99, $78.99, $9.99 once, or by subscription for Home Rule. Most apps keep a useful part free, and you pay only to unlock the rest.

Growth

Funding

Carrier Press is funded by its readers and listeners, and by nobody else. There are no investors, no grants, no publisher advances and no ads in any app. Every cost is paid from book sales and from people who choose to support the work directly.
