So you made 2% of the take?
I honestly have to wonder whether you would do any worse on an aggresive cyber tip jar basis. That is, if you wrote a book, told people they could download it for free but if they liked it, the suggested donation was 10 bucks.
Or alternatively, has anyone ever financed a book via Kickstarter? Where nobody would pay unless you reached your goal of say $20k? And then you could do the tip jar on top of that?
Just wondering out loud.
