Sales Report and Commission Junction

View fullsize

I feel like I’m getting some traction! :)

I usually check my Ingramspark account once a month expecting to see that I’ve had zero sales. Today I checked and, to my surprise, I saw that I had sold 16 copies of my second book, The Butterfly Who Airlifted His Friends Over The Wall. It was a Wow moment for me even though four of those sales were the copies that I bought to send to friends. Still, a dozen copies are in real reader’s hands. Dear Readers, whoever you are and wherever you are, I thank you!

When I logged in to Clip Studio today I saw a news item announcing Clip Studio’s new affiliate program. So far I’ve only used a few Amazon affiliate links, but I really do believe that CSP is an awesome tool for creating comics that wouldn’t mind promoting to other illustrators. I’m a genuine fan — CSP has saved me hundreds of hours over the last year. So, I signed up with Commission Junction so that I can add affiliate links to this blog.

After I publish this post, I’m going to update my affiliate disclaimer on my About page.

Here’s what the link will look like when I add it to a blog post:
