Hello again, I’m getting quite good at the blog thing now eh? :)

Today – in response to a few mails and comments – I wanted to talk sales. Or more explicitly – what on earth that screen means within the Sales tab on your profile.

Well, this is what it looks like:

And whilst most of it is pretty straightforward, I’m aware that some of it (the last column in particular) is actually pretty nuts. So although we’re going to redo this page I figured it would be worth pointing out what is what.

Column One:
This is the date of your last order.

Column Two:
This is your superb design – look at mine! Ain’t it a beauty? No? It was for my daughter – be nice!

Column Three:
This is the total number of sales that this design has made EVER. Not just last month, or in the last 24 hours. But EVER – as in eternity.

Column Four:
This is a contentious screen, but it needs to be shown here because it is actually the cost of the shirts in each currency.

And yes, we know it’s unfair that the UK and EU have to pay more in relation to our cousins out across the pond – but blame Gordon Brown and the IMF or someone; anyone but us. We live here. This is the price that even Bountee staff members pay. Really. We hate it too – and are doing everything we can to reduce costs! Promise.

This is also the cost of the shirt with your commission percentage added to it. So this is what people pay for your shirt in each of these currencies.

Column Five:
And this is the complicated one that nobody but us seems to understand (in other words the one we are fixing first :p) – this is the earnings column.

The numbers in brackets (if I had made any sales this month) show the amount you’ve earned in each currency that is waiting to be paid to you upon next months Pay Day.

The number to the left (not in the brackets) is the amount that you have earned so far.

So here you can see that I have sold FOUR shirts in TOTAL, and I have made £9.19 in TOTAL with NOTHING owing to me this month (probably because I didn’t pimp the shirt hard enough on my MySpace or on Facebook, or blogger, or Flickr or whatever is new in the social networking space this afternoon).

And that is it really. Nothing too complicated, but we acknowledge that we need to work on the layout somewhat.

Anyhoo, I’m off to think of some more witty designs that can pay for my coffee addiction next month.

I hope that helped a little?

As always comments/questions welcome below.

Love you, bye!
