What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

It's sad but true. Many people will take "review" copies and you'll never ever hear back from them

Personally I enjoy reviewing game material and am willingly to publically commit to providing an honest and impartial review in an agreed upon timeframe. But be aware I do it because I enjoy it and that I'm a hobbyist, not a professional.

Perhaps we could get a pool of similar folks togethor so that folks can help folks out?

I am pleased to say that Adventuring Classes: A Fistful of Denarii has been selling pretty well. The Pathfinder-compatible PDF market seems to have some life in it.

Good to hear!

Shouldn't be a surprise, seeing as Pathfinder/d20 were the prime market for independent publishing during it's time as D&D. I'm curious as to how much of a difference there is between Pathfinder and 3E/3.5 sales of bygone years.

Feats 101 (PFRPG) which is our best selling retail product and has been on sale since November of 2009 has sold in total 196 copies as of todays date compiled from One Bookshelf, the Paizo.com store, and Lulu.com

Adventuring Classes: A Fistful of Denarii has sold 143 copies since December and is still generating several sales a week. I think the 3pp situation will only get better as customers gain more confidence that Pathfinder is being supported and is here to stay.

It is interesting reading the numbers in the beginning of this thread and looking at the rankings at DTRPG now. There are several products in the top 20 that have only made Copper but not Silver Seller. Am I right in thinking that means between 50 (Copper) and 100 (Silver) sales? If so then things really have changed since 2002, when this thread started. Is that because of the market or because of the way the list is now compiled?
