I am only $70 off reaching my first $500 worth of sales and am wondering whether I automatically go to 35% or if I have to get in touch with someone who will then activate it.
Thanks
Simon
when you reach 500, goto>account>edit>exclusiveAuthorProgram and click on activate…. 
Congrats Simon – That was fast!
Its self activated bu not automatic – select the ‘edit’ tab on your account page and you should see ‘Exclusive Author Program’. Once you make $500 in sales then an option will appear to become exclusive.
Sit back and watch your account go into overdrive. 
hehe Garro – we’re both keeping an eye on the forums tonight. 
Thanks guys, I take it that the $500 is overall sales not my cut
