Hi everyone, I have a question about using bonuses in books to build an email list. I often hear the recommendation to include a bonus resource (such as audio files, meditations, worksheets, etc.) and provide access through a QR code or link inside the book. This seems like a great way to grow an email list and connect with readers. However, I recently added a few bonus meditations to one of my German books. The book itself contains 233 pages of original content, and the meditations are only an optional extra. After a review, Amazon changed the VAT classification from the reduced VAT rate for books to the standard VAT rate. As a result, the retail price increased significantly, while my royalties remained the same. Unfortunately, this also makes the book much less competitive in the market. I’m now wondering how other publishers and authors handle this. Do you include bonuses in your books? If so, how do you structure them to avoid VAT or classification issues? Are there best practices for building an email list through book bonuses without risking a change in VAT treatment? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and recommendations. Thank you!
