I asked my boyfriend one day, "Why are people pigeonholed into their career when they ultimately have many different talents and interests?" His response to me was that a person's value is only as high as their skills are valued by a potential employer/customer. We talked about it some more and came to the conclusion that, essentially, that's just how our society works. I beg to differ though; I think if more people used your multiple income streams mentality, we'd have happier people, more productive workers and better families, too. It might even help our struggling economy--who knows! Now, I just need to brainstorm my revenue streams...

I did a split test between not only my publisher and Amazon but also between Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Amazon won in a landslide in BOTH cases. I know Mitchell won't like me saying that - but that's been my experience. ;) Jason,

How's that for vague? Some are definites. Sophie, good question... I'm sharing my revenue streams the same why I write any of my blog posts - what am I most interested in writing about today? There is a little twist, though, which is that I'm writing about the ones that are ... how shall I say this, easiest to write about. Some of the revenue streams I will write about in the future might be a little harder for me to write about. It's kind of hard being so transparent :) Regarding book sales, what I know is that MOST of the sales come through Amazon.com PERIOD. I'm amazed at the percentage of sales from Amazon. Beyond that, there aren't a ton of sales made through my publisher, which is the only place to get the ebook... but if you do purchase from the publisher he shows other stuff, like the ebook, as well as my other book (paperback and ebook), etc. Part of that, I'm sure, is that I'm not pushing the book link from my publisher enough. Something to consider. Nancy, I would say 50% yes and 50% no… kind of. How’s that for vague? Some are definites.

Chronological, income, time demand, availability, etc.? And regarding the book income specifically, have you looked at revenue of PDF sales versus paper sales?
