None of them tells you what a \u003cem\u003ereader\u003c\/em\u003e is worth across a series — which is the only number an advertising decision can honestly be made on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe worked example inside publishes nine titles. Book one of the finished five-book crime series is a 99c entry point, and the dashboard reports its royalty as \u003cstrong\u003e$0.35 a sale\u003c\/strong\u003e. Counting print, audio and the Kindle Unlimited borrows that never appear as sales, the same book returns \u003cstrong\u003e$1.18 a reader\u003c\/strong\u003e. And because 58% of those readers go on to book two, 81% of those to book three, and 37.6% reach the end, a book-one reader is worth \u003cstrong\u003e$6.84 across the series\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo of that author's campaigns run at \u003cstrong\u003e480% and 413% ACOS against book one\u003c\/strong\u003e — figures any author would switch off tomorrow. Against what a reader is actually worth they run at \u003cstrong\u003e83% and 71%\u003c\/strong\u003e, and they are making money.
