What Are Your Reads Worth?

Let me check and tell you!

I’ve been experimenting recently to see what reads are worth. Sometimes they seem to come in at one or two cents from prolific regular readers. Other times, they come in at 50 or 60 cents!

It’s very hard to make sense of it, but one thing that’s always interesting is to know what individual reads are worth.

In one example, I have a story where four people read on 16th January and four people read on 17th January. The 16th January reads were worth 27 cents in total. The 17 January reads were worth 59 cents in total. What was the difference between the two days? The first day had an 80% read ratio. The second achieved a 100% read ratio.

So, does a 100% read ratio double the money for that day? Or to put it another way, is a suboptimal read ratio slashing the income from one day to the next? It looks that way.

In an experiment just over a week ago, my reads were showing up as ever decreasing amounts the more I read someone’s stories. That was interesting.

Then, in the last few days, read values seem to be more consistent. But not for all readers. It’s a bit of a mystery. But if you’d like to know what your reads are worth, I’ll tell you…

Read one of my older stories and comment — say you’d like to know what your read was worth. Tomorrow, I’ll check the stats and let you know! Simple.

Over to you, if you’re curious.
