Thank you @lipsticktaser for the title. First time I've done a new thread - hope it's all ok.
Yay, @Blurp, you made it over. So hopefully this works.
I've done a bit moore financial snooping. It’s really quite tricky to find out about book sales in the UK ,but I just came across this amazon book sale calculator. I tested it out on my own books and their rankings, and it seems pretty accurate. https://www.tckpublishing.com/amazon-book-sales-calculator/
The Tin Can Cook paperback is ranked #1218 in all books. That means in currently needs to sell about 127 copies per day or 1900 per month. It’s on promotion, so the royalties will be low – probably around 30p per copy. So that would make £570 per month. The ebook sells another 1000 copies per month and usually you get better royalties, but let’s just keep it at 30p ,too. So that’s another £300.
Cooking on a Bootstrap is at #4880, which amounts to 670 sales per month, but it’s not on promotion so she should get AT LEAST £1 per copy - £670. The ebook sells 131 copies a month, so another £131.
Adding this all up, we are at £1671 per month. This is for two of her titles only. Now of course, book sales vary and they will go up and down, but given that she has 7 published books, she should make AT LEAST that figure per month from her royalties.
Let’s add this to the previous estimates of £450 per month from website ads, and £720 from Patreon, that makes £2841 per month. This does NOT include her newspaper work, TV gigs, speaking engagements, affiliate links and tip jar.
Poor, poor, Jack.
