@steven_p_aitchison: Every month, I post my indie author earnings online. Some people ask why — here’s the truth: ✅ I do it to give hope to other indie authors who wonder if this dream is possible. I once earned £8 in a month. Now my books have sold over 200,000 copies. I want others to see what’s achievable. ✅ I also share my earnings for marketing purposes. Being transparent builds trust and attracts readers who want to support real authors living their passion. It’s not bragging. It’s shining a light on what’s possible when you keep writing. #IndieAuthor #AuthorEarnings #SelfPublishing #BookMarketing #AuthorLife #WritingCommunity #WitchesOfScotland #UrbanFantasy #Transparency #BookTok

Honestly, there’s really nothing wrong with humble bragging. I think you’re doing amazing.

You definitely spur me on. There aren't a lot of fellow Scottish writers that I know of who are doing the indie thing and making money off of it. You defo motivate me.

It’s hard to sell books made about £150

I didn’t see it as bragging. It actually encouraged me and spurred me on to get my books out there.

Please keep sharing! It also made me reevaluate my book formats to what I'd say is a better way than I was doing too.

As well as inspiring those of us who haven’t published yet, your transparency is doing a great job of raising the profile of indie publishing and helps us all to be taken as seriously as trad authors.
