IngramSpark asked me to buy a promo service that markets my book to libraries, bookstores, etc., for a few hundred dollars. Is this a good choice? Worth the price?

Hi Team, I've agreed to the 55% wholesale discount on my paperback, but only offered 50% on my hardcover. It's 416 pages, and the printing costs make the margins super tight. Should that harm the paperback sales on Amazon, B&N, etc.?

Hey authors! While reviewing over 100 titles this weekend, I spotted something concerning: negative commissions on some books. 😱 Looks like print costs might have sneaked up when no one was looking! Before you dive under your desk or make a break for the fire exit, it might just be a few random titles... ...BUT... Your profit margins could be quietly shrinking before your eyes. 📉 Those numbers you thought were solid? They might be getting a bit wobbly. Take 10 minutes to check your compensation reports. Better to catch this now than wonder why your royalty check is surprisingly light next month! 💸 Remember: Even bestsellers can't survive on exposure and good reviews alone! 😂 Is anyone else seeing this ??
