According to Amazon the Kindle royalty is 70%. If so, Paul's royalty should be $3.50 (list price: $4.99) not $4.28 as shown at 9:24 on the timeline. Congrats on your success Paul.
i changed it from $9.99 to $4.99 after the video. I actually found sales more than 2x for several months after the change so its sort of still accurate in terms of overall royalties.

That's good stuff. I remember the day I quite and went out on my own. While the decision was easy, there were definite challenges, but my will to stay self-employed outweighed my need for consistency form a corporate job. My soul was free to do what I wanted. I started several side hustles like photography and printing t-shirts ... even flipped burgers for a bit. Then I took my years of experience in marketing and turned myself into a freelancer. Been doing that for 15+ years now and love it. Able to take care of my little family of five and enjoy life.
