I actually anticipated that sales might slow down during the birthday celebration as buyers spent their cash on the B-Day package (which is awesome btw!), but I’m noticing the opposite effect. It might help that I have a file in the package… but it might also just be more traffic at the marketplaces. Anyone else seeing noticeable changes in sales since the celebration started?

I think it’s because you have a file in the bundle. Congratulations by the way. Must have been nice to get that 50x for Iconic. ;)

I probably should have been more clear : financially, I’m making slightly above average for the day (the 70% boost helps a lot) – I looked more closely though – in terms of sales, I’m actually behind just a bit. Every day fluctuates of course, but using my average sales for the past couple months as a comparison, it’s interesting to watch what such a big event does to author sales. I’ll be curious to see how this plays out over the next couple days.

I’ve seen no dramatic change at all during the bash as far as my sales go. But I only have 4 sales so far for the month. I think its a total of $35.00. But I have money in my account from last month which put my total to $57.36. It’s not much, but I can request a payout though.
