Author Topic: Dinosaur Novel Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-22-2015 05:48 PM                     Just curious. How much gets left for you after everyone got their share from that 99 cents? And could you actually make a living out of it?  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 03-23-2015 07:34 PM                        Ha! I'm not able to make a living from it yet, but there are plenty of people who do. You really need a backlog of titles. I still have a day job. For now, writing is a hobby that earns money, but I hope to make the transition someday. At Amazon, if you price an ebook between $2.99 and $9.99, you get 70% of the list price. If you go outside that range, you get 35%. There is also a "delivery cost" based on the size of the file. It ranges between 6 or 7 cents for my book. If you are exclusive to Amazon, you can run a "Countdown Deal" to drop the price temporarily and still get the 70% rate for a $0.99 book. So I got $0.64 for every book sold last week. I paid up front for the editing and cover art last year, and I long since earned that back, so no one else is getting a share but me. (Unless you count Uncle Sam.)  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 12-09-2015 10:09 PM                        The Dinosaur Four is now available as an audiobook, performed by an award-winning narrator named Nick Podehl, who did an excellent job. Got Audible credits laying around? Give it a listen!

(Technically, it's in the option phase). The purchaser isn't a name you've likely heard of, but he does have some experience as a producer and really seems to "get" the book. Fingers crossed that it comes together! If it does make it to the big screen, I'm counting on you guys to make sure it looks good. Geoff (Now if I can just finish my next book.)  |  IP: Logged Brian Poole Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Chicago, Illinois, USA Registered: Oct 2016 posted 12-07-2016 04:20 AM                    Great! Thanks  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 12-07-2016 03:41 PM                     Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 12-18-2016 06:08 PM                        Thanks! I'm running another $0.99 sale on the ebook at the moment, btw. And if you buy the ebook first (at any price), you can add the audiobook for just $1.99. The audiobook is definitely the best way to "read" it. Geoff  |  IP: Logged
