What Have I Earned From My Two Self-Published Books Book?

I’ve written three books.

• Buzzing Communities (2012).

• The Indispensable Community (2018)

• Build Your Community (2021)

The first two were self-published and one was published by Pearson.

I’m going to break down what I’ve earned from these books and share some thoughts on whether you should write a book.

I just checked the royalties on KDP for my self-published books. These are the figures as of Sept 8, 2023.
