Pricing Strategy Tips

For paperbacks: Price high enough to sustain advertising. A $3-4 profit margin lets you spend $1-2 on ads per sale and still profit. Books priced too low can't support paid marketing.

For ebooks: The $2.99-$9.99 range qualifies for 70% royalty. At $0.99-$2.98, you only get 35%. A $2.99 ebook earns $2.00+, while a $0.99 ebook earns $0.35.

For Kindle Unlimited: Page reads compound with volume. If you have 10 books and readers finish 3 on average, you earn 3× per enrolled reader. Series writers often outperform standalone authors in KU.
