[QUOTE="TheLe, post: 2221143, member: 3981"] [b]Groovy.[/b] You are all correct. For the record, I apologize, GMSkarka, if you felt that my comment was a slight against you or the company you work for. It was not meant to be. For the record, my comment, "As a vendor who is not affiliated with Rpgnow, nor is a holy Platinum vendor, I stand by my arguements", was not meant as an attack against anyone or any entity. Rather, it is simply to point out where I am coming from. I am not affiliated with rpgnow.com in anyway, so I don't have any inside information that may help with my products or company in any way. This is not to imply that having that information is ethical or unethical in anyway, but the fact is that I am not affiliated with Rpgnow.com, and therefore I am not an insider. I am not a veteran of the industry. I have never been previously published nor have I freelanced on an RPG product before. I am not a platinum vendor -- I am not making $1000.00 dollars a month in sales. This means I am part of the other 99% of the publishers out there who make less than that. I am not a full time publisher. I have a day job, and so does my wife, and our joint-income helps sustain our happy home and 2 crazy kitties (who I swear poop more than they eat). I am just an average joe who decided to jump into the pdf business because it looked like fun. And that is where my arguement comes from. As someone not affiliated with any other company, not a veteran of the industry, not making $1000 or more a month in pdf sales, and not doing this on a full time basis, I stand by my arguements. I got into this industry because it looked fun... and believe me it is. If I wasn't haven't fun, I wouldn't be doing it. But I still have to work hard to get just 1 book out a month. Even that is not simple, nor is it relatively simple. Is it possible to make $3333 per month in gross sales? Absolutely. Is it probable to make $3333 per month in gross sales? Not really, no. There is a reason there is only a small handful of platinum vendors, and even if you are pdf publishing full time that is just a staggering number to reach monthly. We other non-platinum vendors are not lazy, and we are not bad companies. We are average folk who love the industry and just happen to be publishers. Is it easy or relatively easy to make $3333 per month in gross sales? No. Not at all. I stand by my arguements. ~Le P.S. You can help me reach $3333 in gross sales by buying my newest (d20) book, 17 Magic Armors, available now [url="http://rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=4698&SRC=Enworld"]here![/url] (End Shameless Plug) [/QUOTE]
