Understanding your Revenue

Monitoring your revenue is key to building a successful business on Console Logs. With clear insights into your earnings, you can make better decisions, identify trends, and optimise your sales strategy. Here’s what you need to know about tracking and understanding your revenue:

1. Total Earnings

  • What It Is: Total earnings show the cumulative revenue you've made from all your apps since you started selling on Console Logs.
  • Why It Matters: This figure helps you keep track of your overall sales success. It’s useful for understanding your long-term performance and growth as an artist on the platform.
  • Where to Find It: You can view your total earnings directly in the dashboard, giving you a quick overview of how well your apps are performing over time.

2. This Week's Earnings

  • What It Is: This is the total revenue you've generated from your apps over the current week. It provides a snapshot of your most recent sales activity.
  • Resetting Period: Earnings in this section reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC, so you always start the week fresh and can track your weekly progress.
  • Why It Matters: Tracking weekly earnings can help you identify short-term trends, such as the impact of recent promotions or updates to your apps. It’s perfect for setting goals and seeing immediate results from your marketing efforts.

3. Understanding Platform Charges

  • Platform Charges: Console Logs deducts a flat 10% from each sale as a platform fee. This fee helps maintain the platform, support services, and continue to provide a high-quality experience for both artists and buyers.
  • Net Earnings: The revenue figures you see in the dashboard already account for platform charges, showing you the net amount that goes directly to you.
  • For More Information: To understand exactly how platform charges are calculated, you can read our detailed guide on platform charges.

4. Tracking Revenue for Individual Apps

  • Detailed Breakdown: The dashboard allows you to see how much revenue each of your individual apps has generated. This breakdown helps you pinpoint which apps are your top performers and which ones might need a little more attention.
  • Why It Matters: By understanding the performance of each app, you can focus on optimising the listings that sell the best, make updates to improve lower-performing apps, or even decide where to put your marketing efforts.

Understanding your revenue is all about knowing what drives your success and how you can keep growing. By keeping an eye on your earnings—both total and weekly—and analysing how each app performs, you can make smarter decisions that will maximise your sales. Console Logs makes this easy by providing you with the tools you need right in the dashboard, so you can focus on doing what you do best: creating and selling great apps!
