Could you expect ebook sales to follow something like Gardner’s hype model?
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle) or is it more of an exponential decline?

Great fun to read the real stats. Glad you share with the world. My favorite: $14.95 for housing. Best housing budget ever.

Baker, like I said, you need your own TV show, dude.

$500 is some pretty good income for freelancing! I’m assuming that’s 5-10 articles yeah?

It definitely helps to freelance, while having your own blog to drive traffic. Perhaps I’ll consider that too.

Good luck in May!

Love the transparency — very helpful for those who are looking to do the same thing. Also looking forward to hearing about the Empire Building Kit.

Great update, dude. The EBK relaunch will kick Thesis commissions in the ass! Ha.

And Danielle’s work is great too.

Baker, keep it up man. I’d love to see more, but I know how it is. We need that life experience to be able to write about it.

If you can make $500/month freelance writing, I think I have no excuses to figure out how to bring in half of that in the next month or two… And gosh, $1500 looks awesome to me right now, that’s maybe what I made in my best months at my old job. (And now I’m unemployed, so it looks REALLY good!)

The EBK is awesome, isn’t it? I’d love to help promote it myself, but my blog just really isn’t conducive to such a topic, I think… Unless there’s some way I could help tie it in? (I wouldn’t mind getting the word out about it, it’s been a lot of food for thought so far for me.)
