I took a screen shot, but I can''t figure out how to post it here so you can see...
In March, I published my first book and logged on X1 a day and whenever I sold a book, I printed off a copy of the report for my records... I didn't spend much time looking over my dashboard. I am technophobic, my spouse manages the uploading of books and such... The only class I falied in HS was computer science. In December, I enrolled two of my three books through select and launched my first promotional. Some pointed out where these functions were on my dashboard and I set the books to run...during the promotional in between the F5 moments, I explored my dashboard. "Oh, lookie at all of these buttons..." I am trying to figure up how much money I earned in 2012 through KDP, I pulled up "prior-six weeks royalties".... Oh my, where on earth did all of this activity come from?? I look every day...and the daily glance doesn't come close to what this report says. For example: 12/1/2012 "After I Pulled The Trigger"...has two entries. One entry: Unit Sold-1...Unit Refund: 0... Net Unit Sold: 1 (this is my normal.) However...it also says, 12/1/2012 "After I Pulled The Trigger" Unit Sold: 326 Unit Refund: 0 Net Unit Sold: 326..... My total career sales from what I've tabluated on my daily "let's have a look"...at this point, is 297 books sold over three titles...
The thing of it, its all over my six week report. There are close to 1,000 books in the net units sold. My daily monitoring shows, 297 since March. What am I not reading correctly?
My rank never showed an increase in sales. I sell one, fall to 90-100,000. Than right about 200-300k, I sell a book...and the cycle continues, unil yesterday. I sold one book and went down to 45,000. This 6 week page logic doesn't match my Month to Date report.
On Dec 15 it shows I sold over 60 copies of "A Change of Heart"... I published that book in November and sold 2 copies. I haven't sold a copy since
