If your book sells for $15.99 on Amazon… how much of that money actually goes into YOUR pocket? Understanding your royalties is one of those things every author should know BEFORE pricing their book. In my newest video, I’m breaking down Amazon KDP royalties, including eBooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, Kindle Unlimited, printing costs, and how to estimate what you'll actually earn per sale. I’ll even take you inside the KDP dashboard so you can see how to review your royalties and understand where your money is coming from. ➕ KDP Royalty Calculator 🎥 Watch the video attached... After you watch, come back and tell me: What’s your royalty per book?

REPLAY IS NOW UP HERE Mark your calendar ⏰📆 1:00pm CST tomorrow I'm speaking with @Chris Hanlon who is going to be sharing some pro tips on how to land speaking gigs as an author. We are going to cover things like how to find opportunities, how to feel confident as a speaker, and what should you even speak about?!?! Everyone is invited to attend this FREE EVENT.

Grab this prompt and share your results 👇 (give it your photo) Create a personalized vertical infographic called “My Author Journey” based on what you already know about me from our previous conversations. Think about everything you know about me specifically as an author, writer, publisher, or creative person. Choose 5 interesting or meaningful things that help tell my story as an author. These can be anything that stands out about my journey — what I write about, why I write, what inspires me, my experiences as an author, my creative process, challenges I’ve worked through, how I connect with readers, lessons I’ve learned, how I approach publishing or marketing, what I’m currently exploring, or where I hope to go next. Do not follow a predetermined set of categories. Instead, look at what you actually know about me and decide which 5 things make my author story interesting. Every author’s infographic should be different based on their individual journey. Do not invent information. Only use things you genuinely know about me from our conversations. If you don’t know enough about my author journey to create something meaningful, ask me a few simple questions first. Keep the infographic simple, personal, and highly visual. Use a maximum of 5 sections or callouts. Each section should contain only a short headline, interesting fact, statistic if relevant, or 1–2 short sentences. Don’t feel obligated to include things like book sales, royalties, number of books published, or other publishing statistics. Include those only if they genuinely stand out as an important part of that particular author’s story. Use illustrations, icons, symbols, writing elements, or other visual details to help tell the story instead of relying on lots of text. If I provide a photo, incorporate it naturally into the design. Make the design feel personal to the author. Use what you know about their personality, writing style, interests, audience, or creative journey to inspire the overall look and feel.
