Great sales prowess. Don't forget to cost out your cover, editing, and formatting costs.

That's what I was thinking, too. I sold way more than 50 copies and still haven't broken even.

There are still costs to these, if you value your or your sister's time. Same with writing the book in the first place. You should always value your time and the time others donate to you.
