I was talking about
read through on a series
on one of the writing loops.
The best selling writers
on the loop
all knew their read through rates.
Many of the other writers
talked about
not being good at math
and finding it too difficult
to calculate.
Too f*cking bad.
If you want your romance writing business
to be a success long term,
you have to know that number.
You don’t have to calculate it
if you’re bad at math.
But you DO have to
know your read through rate
and know what it means.
Numbers are a part of business.
You don’t have to calculate return on investment
or break-even sales
or sell-through rates
or other numbers.
But you do have to know
what they mean
if you want to be financially successful.
Get comfortable
with numbers.
