For new members just joining us i urge you to refer to the classroom section there are a lot of tools to help you make your publishing journey easier and it is free till the end of Q3 this guides have helped me myself and it would be nice to share with you. Kindly share your publishing worries you just might see the right help here Welcome to Royalty Guild once again.

✨ Reading Time: < 1m | Utility: High Answering questions about the tools I use for niche research, I realized that 90% of the time I use BookBeam is for the Book Tracker function to track BSRs and reviews of my books. BookBeam is a pretty expensive tool, and I started to question myself: Is it really necessary to pay for the subscription just to have the tracker? Of course, Publisher Champ has all the data, and I can look at BSR and reviews there, but Publisher Champ is so informationally dense that I still prefer to use the clean interface of BookBeam. It looks like a hard decision to make. Since I do not like to burden myself with unnecessary, hard decisions, I decided to choose the third option: create a Catalog Tracker for myself. Decision made → done. Now I have the Catalog Tracker. It is lightweight, clean, and highly functional. And if I did it and I like it, why not share it with others, right? So, you can try it right now. Comment "TRACK" below, and I'll message you the link to try it out for free. You can track up to 50 books. But the most important thing is that if you have a catalog of tens or hundreds of books, you do not need to make a decision which books are worthy of tracking - start from the Royalty Guild Sales Analyzer and add your most performing books to the Catalog Tracker automatically. If you are using your BookBeam subscription the same way I am, and the tracker helps you save on it, that would be great. P.S. If you do use it, let me know: What’s one feature you wish BookBeam had that could be added to this?

This is a very nice gift from Amazon – your book is sold at a discounted price, but you still receive full royalties. Of course, nobody can tell you for sure how to get it, but some ideas can help you a lot. The last two weeks, I conducted a few experiments to test some of the assumptions I had based on my previous experience. Let me share what I found. 1. Your book should ideally be new, and you need traction. In other words, if you published a book, actively promoted it, and sales are on the rise, it is highly likely you will have a price strike. 2. Do not hesitate to raise the price dramatically. In one instance, I increased the price from 12.95 to 49.95 and got the strike-through price. Yes, it's tempting to buy a few hundred of your own books in such a situation, because it would be profitable. But I do not think it's worth risking your account for a quick buck. 3. If you arrange an ads-heavy launch and strike-through price strategically, you can recoup a significant portion of your net losses during the days of your price strike. What is your experience with strike-through prices? Would you like to add something to my findings?

You saw the chart. Eight months, 22x royalty growth, 15x profit. Not magic – process. Now I'm setting the next target: $5,000/month by the end of 2026. And I'm doing it publicly, with full transparency on what works and what doesn't. Here's what changed in my thinking going into this year. Low-content got me to $50/month on autopilot. Switching to a quality-first mindset got me past $3,000. But scaling further requires something I spent the last few months building: a repeatable system that doesn't depend on my mood, my schedule, or lucky niche picks. I'm calling it the Guided Publishing System. It's not a course. It's not a prompt pack. It's a structured workflow — built around the idea that AI can do the heavy lifting in execution, while the decisions, creative direction, and judgment calls stay with us. That's what produces defensible, platform-compliant books that actually sell. And that's what separates publishers who plateau from publishers who compound. I'm not ready to open it up fully yet. But I'm looking for a group of serious publishers – people already making something on KDP, already past the "does this even work?" phase – who want to run this alongside me in 2026. What that looks like in practice: Real numbers shared. Real process documented. No cheerleading – just what's working, what broke, and how I'm adjusting. If you're plateaued somewhere between $50 and $1,000/month and you're done waiting to figure out what the next level actually requires, this is worth paying attention to. If $5,000/month is a thing of the past for you, it's amazing! Let's target 5x growth, for example. More details on the Premium tier upgrades will be available soon. Watch this space. --- The chart shows my trajectory from Jan-25 through Dec-25. Your numbers will be different. I hope you will crash it.
