Software that Helps You Help Yourself:
Improve your Profitability Using Our Templates and Instructions
Would you rather answer your own questions? If you're the independent sort, but still a little confused about what numbers to use, or if you just don't have the time to set up your spreadsheets, these templates will help.
When you use them, you will improve your understanding and control of your profits. The packages are detailed, flexible, easy to use, and designed for the non-accountant.
We have recently introduced version 2.0 of both our offerings : The Profit Analysis Package, and the Pricing Package. You can also buy both together for a slight discount.

The Profit Analysis Package, version 2.0 ($30)
- Helps you easily estimate what any change will do to your profit.
- Gives a clear result, comparing 3 situations side by side.
- Helps pin-point both problems you can avoid ahead of time and opportunities you might otherwise have missed.
- You get a 6 page Excel template, and an essay explaining and illustrating the uses to which it can be put. The pages are:
- A checklist where you enter information about your situation
- Plant expenses by type
- Marketing expenses by type
- A title profit and loss statement
- Breakeven computations
- A "normalized" profit and loss statement. This is a specialized tool allowing you to compare very different types of projects on an even footing.

- Estimates the change in sales likely from a change in price
- Uses real-world data from Amazon and trade publications such as Publishers' Weekly
- Can be used together with the Profit Analysis Package to maximize your profit on every title.

System Requirements to Use These Spreadsheets
To use either package, you will need recent versions of Microsoft Excel and Word, or the equivalent, on either Mac or Windows machines.
There is always a temptation to view the numbers on your screen as "the answer." Remember, your predictions will be only as accurate as the estimates and information you start with.
Any time you base a prediction upon estimates, you should do it many times, with many possible sets of estimates, in order to understand the likely range of outcomes.
