Thanks, Craig, this is helpful. I do use PB and trying out Smashwords (though I have my ebook on Lulu.com already). I consider I am in a niche market (self development), so I'm never going to be attracting the JC Hutchins and Scott Sigler numbers! S…
If you look at the PB.com "stats" you get a much smaller number than you do from the statistic section of Libsynpro, so I advise the latter. In terms of total numbers, there's no way to easily see what others have done, but Brian recently told me Th…
Thanks, Diana, no I didn't have an agent for it - it was published direct by a small press. I got a couple of good reviews for it, but publisher went down the tubes - never got a penny out of it, so I turned it into a free PDF. I prefer to seek agen…

Thanks, Diana. I have no numbers to compare with so I didn't know if that number was good, bad or average. Stands at 500 now, which sounds not too bad to me!
A big thank you to everyone on the mentorship program who helped me knock my first podcast into shape. I've learned a lot in the process. Get a Life! went live on Wednesday 28 October, and I'm up to 400 downloads for episode 1 in two days.
Thanks a…
Your voice is wonderful, but your "S's" are a bit harsh. Please see the discussion chain on this site, titled 'whistling' for tips and suggestions. Also, I get a lot of lip-smack sounds, dry mouth probably, but mouth to mic distance may help, experi…
