More Formats = More Money š°
The fastest path to more royalties isnāt just more books ā itās more formats.
Iāve earned over $100K in self-publishing royalties doing this part-time. And no, that didnāt come from one ebook.
What actually moved the needle for me was adopting a publishing mindset and stacking wins.
If youāve published an ebook ā thatās a win. But if you stopped there, youāre leaving money on the table.
Ask yourself this šWhy havenāt you moved on to:
- Paperback
- Hardcover
- Audiobook
Readers donāt all buy the same way.
Some people prefer a $3.99 ebook.
Others want a $14.99 paperback.
Some will happily pay $25+ for a hardcover because it feels premium or gift-worthy.
And busy commuters? Theyāre using Audible credits they already paid for buying your š§ audiobook feels frictionless to them.
Thatās price anchoring and buyer choice working in your favor.
Paperbacks and hardcovers are often gifts.
Ebooks and audiobooks are usually personal purchases.
Different use cases = different buyers = more revenue paths from the same content.
So why do so many self-published authors stop at ebook?
Because itās the easiest.
Formatting paperbacks and hardcovers requires sizing precision.
Audiobooks require an upfront investment. And thatās where people stall out.
But if your goal is to make money, not just āpublish a book,ā then multiple formats arenāt optional, theyāre strategic.
Same book. More doors. More ways to say yes.
Stack your formats.
Thatās how royalties compound.
