It’s been a pretty crazy month. After finishing up the exhausting “month of marketing”, I launched into a couple of projects and finished doing my taxes. That gave me a few days to completely clean-out the upstairs bedrooms to accommodate a visit from my Dad, his foster son, my sister, her boyfriend, and her cat for a week. Furniture was purchased! Bedding was inspected! 15 years of accumulated toys, vintage computers, and miscellaneous junk was collected and stuffed into the basement. I’ve been quite preoccupied. I’m itching to restart several projects, but I’m taking the time to enjoy the company of family, which is a rare and special treat.
It’s hard to believe that the new notebooks went on sale last Sunday, just 7 days ago. In the first 7 days, about 100 notebooks sold on top of the regular ETP sales. Very exciting! I believe the next step to take will describe what each of my various tool designs are supposed to do, so people have an easier time knowing how to use them.
That’s all I really have for now. My schedule should return to normal on May 15th.

Can you be a bit more specific on the numbers of the past 2 months? I.e.: Did your audience grow? Did your avg. sales change? I’m a data and graph nerd and find it’s interesting to see how other people I follow fare :)

Thanks for the update! I just ordered mine! It’s a good thing too because with the move and everything I need to be super organized! Enjoy your family time!
Christian: I just ran the numbers for notebook sales, though I don’t have an automated numbers generator for Amazon. Their online reporting leaves much to be desired. I can say that since the notebooks went on sale on April 20th or so, about 200 of them have been sold out of the initial run. This was probably buoyed by the announcement here and on social media, and by the “new products” newsletter alert that went out via mailchimp. The last 7 days of data, covering May 1st to May 8th, show that just 17 notebooks have sold; this may be the organic level of sales I might expect, though it’s only one week of data.
