[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 1701551, member: 2013"] Just as an FYI, in the 90-day window, as far as I can tell, most "established" PDF producers tend to see sales of between 100 and 150 units on most products. The true "big guns" see over 200, but not TOO much more than 200. Just as a point of reference, getting a product into the top 100 all-time in sales volume at RPGNow.com requires a pinch over 200 sales (I know because my latest product, Buy the Numbers, was sitting at #100 with exactly 201 sales a week or so ago). As a second point of reference, I can only think of a handful... by which I mean "three"... products that were released in the last 90 days that hit the top 100 sellers list (there may be more, but I can only think of three off the top of my head... you should be able to get the exact number with a little research). One of those was an E.N. Publishing product, Sorcery & Steam, and E.N. Publishing is an "800-pound gorilla" of publishing and gets a ton of sales. That should tell you about how well your products will sell. My guess is that a new publisher should be pleased to see 100 sales and has a hit on his hands if he gets above 150. All of this is anecdotal, of course. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
