Any successful Amazon or Smashwords authors?

Just wondering if anyone has managed to create a successful smashword or Amazon book. At least 5k in sales.

I had a single short story, less than 2,000 words on Smashword and Amazon, then so far has generated about $3,000 dollars since 2011... so seven years.

Funny thing is most of those sales were form the UK. It seems they adore female domination and pegging. Who would have thunk it.

There was an author here and it pisses me off I never remember his name (bashfullyshameless ring a bell?)

They wrote a Sci fi e-book that went off the charts. Did so well that I believe after he(I think) released the sequel they were making enough to be writing full time.

Best I ever did on an e-book short term was a few hundred in the course of a month. According to amazon's 'history' feature my best money maker there has made a little over 4k...since 2013

Amazon or smashwords?
Did you market any?
Was thinking of doing a standalone story on lit but with a sequel for sale on net.

That one was in both places, but the money all came through Amazon...but that was before the they instituted that scam they have now and before they started to hide all the indi erotica writers from there searches.
