I have over 40 stories
Indie published.
Something breaks
every d@mn day.
Newsletters aren’t received.
Listings at booksellers
go down.
Prices randomly
increase or decrease.
As I increase
the number of books
(products)
I produce,
the rate of things breaking
also increases.
This is why
it is often recommended
that business builders
look at their product/service offerings
and trim
the non-performers,
the resource suckers,
the easily broken.
This is more challenging
with writers.
We earn money
from backlist sales.
The more books in our backlist,
the more money we usually make.
But there are also costs
to those sales
and that has to be taken
into consideration.
Continue to develop
new products/services
but evaluate
the older offerings.
Ensure they aren’t breaking
more than
they are working.
