No trick from me Philo, Amazon has commercialized the Kindle publishing
platform providing the entire eCommerce platform and distribution market
paying a 70-30 split on two tiers of monthly subscription fees. The highest
rate of $1.99 monthly pays the author .59 cents for each subscriber; 10,000
subscribers pays $5,900 per month which pays better than most software and
web related jobs.
It would pay better for me to polish up my drawing skills and start
authoring comic books in my old age.
