The August "Big Experiment" Report

My August ebook sales eclipsed my previous record by at least 52 books*, powered by a strong showing from We are the Monsters after the price increased from free to $0.99. As I said before, I won't be retiring soon on these numbers, but I sold 227 books* in August. In the past ten days, I've sold more than the entire month of July. No complaints, really--I've been selling 10-15 books a day for the past week and a half.

Granted, most of my sales were for $0.99 books. Much has been said about this lowly price point, so I won't rehash. What I've learned so far:
A Feast of Flesh sold 14 copies (burning up the charts, baby), at $0.99 while These Darkened Streets sold 6 at $1.99
at that rate, A Feast of Flesh earned $0.70 more; I've lowered These Darkened Streets to $0.99 in September to see what happens
I write in a genre which doesn't sell as well as Thrillers, Mysteries, Romance, and Erotica
Most of my books are story collections, which, in general, don't sell all that well, either
but seven different ebooks sold in double figures
I'm still happy with every dime I make selling ebooks
What I plan to do in September:
experiment with price a bit more: raise The House Eaters to $2.99 and see what happens by the end of the month
release a novella for $0.99
repackage Black Medicine Thunder as Sons of Chaos Book 1 (since book 2, The Desert Dead, is coming to Red Penny Papers in October--squee!)
prepare for October, which I hope can be a good month (um, Halloween)
That's the report as I see it. 

Thanks for reading.

*I'm not sure how many copies of We are the Monsters were "paid" until I receive my monthly report; my estimate is low
