(cont'd)- I'm giving away hundreds
of listings on the Vault, and as a result
of doing so, won't see one thin dime
of income on the site until October or later - Given all the time and money I've already sunk into developing the site, I don't even expect to earn back my upfront investment until sometime next year - I'm already personally reaching out to publishers on behalf
of authors who are listed in the Vault, on my own time and my own long distance bill, despite the fact that I don't stand to earn so much as a finder's fee if any
of those contacts result in an offer - I make my The IndieAuthor Guide available for
free on my author site and blog - I built Publetariat, a
free resource for self - pubbing authors and small imprints, by myself, and paid for its registration, software and hosting out
of my own pocket - I shoulder all the ongoing expense and the lion's share
of administration for the Publetariat site, which since its launch on 2/11
of this year, has only earned $ 36 in ad revenue; the site never has, and likely never will, earn its keep in ad revenue, but I keep it going because I know it's a valuable resource for authors and publishers - I've given away far
more copies of my novels than I've sold, because I'm a pushover for anyone who emails me to say s / he can't afford to buy them - I paid my own travel expenses to speak at this year's O'Reilly Tools
of Change conference, nearly $ 1000, just to be part
of the Rise
of Ebooks panel and raise awareness about self - published authors who are strategically leveraging ebooks - I judge in self - published
book competitions, and I read the * entire *
book in every case, despite the fact that the honorarium has never been
more than $ 12 per
book — a figure that works out to less than $.50 per hour
of my time spent reading and commenting In spite
of all this, you still come here and elsewhere to insinuate I'm greedy and only out to take advantage
of my fellow authors.
