My Actifit Report Card: December 6 2024

in Actifit15 days ago

The last 24 hours have been very interesting.

Last night, police in Arlington, Texas knocked on our window and told us we couldn't sleep at the Park and Ride. At 10:30 p.m.,,while in my pajamas, I drove to a Cracker Barrell and we bedded down in their parking lot.

We got up at 6:30 this morning, drove across the street to a RaceTrac and used the restroom, bought coffee, and aired up a tire. We then drove to Kroger and ate breakfast.

I took Hawthorne for a walk. Then I went inside and set up a book table I sold books until 4 p m.

My.wife and I were on our way to College Station when the van began swerving and driving funny. It didn't feel right, so we called AAA and had it towed home.

When we arrived, I watched the driver drop off the van, then he bought three books from me.

I walked Hawthorne.out.to the front gate and shut it. I ended the day with more than 15,000 activity points

Hi, I can see that you are a published author, so I would like to wish you good luck and inspiration in you book writing journey.
Apart from being a Hiver, I am also a translator.
Would you be interested in your books being translated into other languages, so you can increase your sales at no cost to you?
The model involves royalty-sharing on the translated copies sold.
Sorry for bothering you, I just thought you may be interested.

How do you do the translation?

There is a certain online platform that uses this model, and I have translated two books with it so far.
It's called Tektime, if you want to check it.
I only translate from English into Greek, which is my native language, but they have other languages available, too.
I am a professional translator.
Even if you are not interested in working with me, it could be worth checking this option for other languages and translators on that platform to increase your audience and sales.
I speak as a fellow Hiver, and secondly as a translator, because, to be honest with you, it is a big decision and commitment for me to get involved in a translation project that will take me months and considerable effort to finish, with the expected financial gains not always guaranteed.
However, an author can benefit from the option of having their books translated into multiple languages.

Cool. I'll check out the platform. Meanwhile, what kind of royalty split are we talking about?

I believe these are the rates at the moment:

From To Author Translator Tektime
€ 0,00 € 999,99 15% 75% 10%
€ 1.000 € 1.999,99 30% 60% 10%
€ 2.000 € 3.999,99 60% 30% 10%
€ 4.000 € 7.999,99 70% 20% 10%
€ 8.000 € ... 80% 10% 10%

as per the following link:

I saw that. 10% for Tektime, and the translator gets a piece. The translation is free for the author, but there's a charge for formatting and the book cover. Is that correct?

Although I strongly recommend that you contact them directly for more accurate information, I've found out that they charge the following rates:
Original or translated book formatting: 49 euro
EPUB conversion: 49 euro
EPUB cover creation: 49 euro
PDF conversion: 79 euro
Paperback cover creation: 99 euro
Audiobook cover creation: 69 euro
Booktrailer: 49 euro
