Added costs of publicity
What the buyer doesn't take into consideration
I've said at each turn, that being an Indie writer I need to weigh outgoings against the possible income - that's why until last week I'd never bought a cover.
My luxury item
I knew in my heart when I bought this cover that it would not pay for itself, but I wanted a nice cover in my stock.
You'd think with eleven sales platforms on Draft2Digital www.draft2digital.com/book/235628, the various aspects of Smashwords www.smashwords.com/books/view/719595 and the mighty site at Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B071CSVHFD that selling a measly ten copies would be easy, but no book outside the Forgestriker series has sold even five copies in over a decade on Draft2Digital.

Another aspect of my costs is that I sent hard copies, printed, of The Chronicles of Mark Johnson to three sites in the USA.
