Unless mine eyes deceive me, Smashwords has recently updated its sales reports. iTunes is now showing a balance through February 2.

 

[Claudia King]

Awesome! I have a nice crop of sales waiting for me on iTunes to make me feel better about my slow Amazon week.

 

[Midnight Writer]

Yay! I sold a book in Norway! 

 

[Lady Vine]

Wow, I sold 5 on Apple through them. Was not expecting that. Such a shame sales reporting wasn't in realtime, because I wouldn't have pulled them had I known they were... ahem... selling.

 

[kathrynoh]

Woohoo! 2 sales. 

Lanette, how do you know which countries you've sold in?

 

[Patty Jansen]

If it says nothing, you've sold in the US. All the other sales have countries mentioned.

 

[BenEBrewer]

How do you see in Smashwords where each sale has come from?

 

[Chris Northern]

Six (yes, 6) Apple sales for the month; four from Australia (thanks guys!) and two from the US (and thank you also!). Not quite as exciting as I was hoping for, but at least there is some movement there.

 

[Cheryl Douglas]

That just made my day and I wouldn't have even thought to look for it. Thanks for the update!

I've sold more in the UK via Apple this time. Usually it's an interesting mix of currencies, as is Kobo - though I do sell more in Canada than anywhere else through Kobo. At first I thought it was just my cousins buying them but I don't have that many cousins!
Thanks for letting us know - good to be nudged into looking there.

Thanks Patty

Go to Dashboard - Sales and Payment Report - 2013 (or whatever year).

Last month was my best so far on Apple - still not brilliant, but better than the two or three sales I usually make. And one from Mexico! My reach is expanding.

Thanks a lot!

I checked Smashwords and saw that I had more royalties than last time... I got really excited and then I found I had sold on Smashwords self, not somewhere else

I've had my books in other distribution things for months, haven't sold a thing. Only places I sell are Amazon (US & UK) and Smashwords.

 

[theaatkinson]

woot! 2 whole sales on Apple. Not much for many of you, but a hella lot for me. grin. thanks for urging us to check

 

[K. A. Jordan]

Wow - Apple was a big goose egg. That's not good. Looks like December was a big goose egg all around.

Going back to my WIP - it's been too long since I published anything new.

SW distributes to 50 territories via Apple, so lots of opportunity for sales when I get around to translating something.

32.81 EUR (I'm guessing Germany but this could be any Euro member country)
276.96 CAD (Canada)
488.45 GBP (Britain)
598.58 AUD (Australia)
$1677.49 (US)
33.03 MXN (Mexico) (1 sale)
24.02 NOK (Norway) (2 sales)
6.02 NZD (New Zealand) (2 sales)

Out of curiosity has anybody seen sales in any other territories? Brazil or India specifically? Last year it was indicated these were the countries with the highest ebook adoption rate aside from the UK, AU and US.

I'm curious also. Is anyone selling well in any of those places? I'll add Japan to that list as well.

Lanette, how do you know which countries you've sold in?

On the Sales & Payment Report page, down in the spreadsheet where sales are listed, in the Sale Location column. Most vendors list the country the sale came from.

NO = Norway

OMGoodness, I sold 15 on Apple in all of 2012. I have a big 65 there now for 2013! WooHoo!! They must have loved my FREE book and got more. Yeah!!
