So, two days ago, The Year We Finally Solved Everything was the KND sponsor, and my goal was to sell 40 copies.  I sold… 35, which is roughly half of how things when with Whatley Tupper after this amount of time.  Not surprising, and while I’m a little short of my goal, it still pretty much pays for itself.  And this doesn’t take into account anyone who downloaded the sample only to purchase it a week or so later.  As well, if this leads to one or two reviews, it definitely makes it worthwhile.

Overall, even though this KND sponsorship wasn’t as successful as with “The Adventures of Whatley Tupper,” it’s still by far the best paid promotional tool I’m aware of.  Nothing else has come even close to directly paying for itself (and I’m aware that advertising isn’t meant to immediately pay for itself).

I already have two more KND sponsorships in waiting.  One is for Whatley Tupper again (in mid-January, hoping a lot of people got Kindles for Christmas), and one for my upcoming choose your own adventure, “The Redemption of Mr. Sturlubok” on April 30th.  I’ll write more about my plans for the release of that book later.  Right now, Daniel and I are on track for finishing the draft in January sometime.  Should be good…
