Article about Amanda Hocking, ebook author:
http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/article/948078--how-a-failed-author-made-2-million-from-e-books
Excerpt: "A year ago Amanda Hocking was working full-time at a job earning $18,000 a year. Now she's writing and publishing her own ebooks, raking in close to $2 million.
Hocking, who lives in Austin, Minn., has sold more than 900,000 copies of her nine books, the first of which went on sale last April.
Her sales are so brisk (more than 450,000 in January alone), she may have broken the one-million mark by the time you read this."
----------
Note: I did some Googling and her sales figures appear to vary greatly among news articles.
I'd tend to credit those discrepancies to the article writers by default.
Amanda's probably not stupid enough to post lower numbers on her blog.
While a certain amount of luck undoubtedly came into play for Amanda, wisdom comes in all forms and ages because it changes.
Maybe Amanda's grasp of using the net is worth some study.
