OK, this is interesting. I received an email from Amazon KDP (the email’s legit) telling me that I earned a bonus in August for the Kindle Vella story I mentioned in Oh, my I gone and done it. It’s only USD$2.78, but:
-
I never finished it.
-
It had only 3 followers.
-
It didn’t get any ‘thumbs up.’ Nor any comments. Zero engagement.
-
Since I didn’t bother finishing it, I unpublished it. Normally, this takes weeks/months, I learned. This story took only a few hours.
-
If I recall correctly, before I unpublished it, the 1st episode had 7 reads, the 2nd, only 3, and the 3rd, 1. Episodes 4 & 5 didn’t get any reads. Not even my wife read them.
Jeepers, I wonder what the bonus would have been had I finished the thing?
I may have to revisit Kindle Vella…
