Let’s say we’re making $7.60 per book. Now all we need to know is how many books are being sold to calculate our income as a self-published author on Amazon. There’s no real way to know how many books you’ll sell until you try, but there is a way to roughly determine how many books other authors are selling on Amazon. All you need is the book’s Bes...
Another factor that will affect what an author makes is the number of books available.

The more regularly you publish books, the more money you’ll make, for several reasons: 1. The Amazon algorith...
As we covered, different formats offer different royalty rates. Paperback, hardback, ebooks, and audiobooks will all pull different prices, different sales numbers, and different royalty rates. Even if you’re self-publishing outside of Amazon, this will be true in most cases. eBooks have the highest royalty rates because of the low cost of producti...

You can make more money as a self-published author on Amazon by strategically releasing and marketing your books. Here are five ways you might increase book sales on Amazon.
Not only does having more books increase your revenue because there are more products being sold, but the Amazon algorithm favors accounts that publish regularly, pushing your books in front of more readers in suggested sections.
Even with a single book, you can have more “products” available by offering your book in multiple formats. Hardback, paperback, audiobook. You might even republish your books in different formats, like compilation books for series, companion novels, or new editions with fresh covers.
Publishing a series can be more lucrative than publishing a standalone novel. If you write a stellar first book, one customer purchase can turn into several, as they come back to buy each new installment of the series. It’s also easier for readers to get immersed in a series, just because they’re spending more time with the story and characters. Th...
To make more money, you should have a strategy for increasing readthrough on your books. Readthrough refers to how often readers are buying more of your books–particularly more books in a series. There are a few strategies for increasing readthrough, including: 1. structuring your endings in a way that makes your reader want to read more 2. publish...
Jun 26, 2023 · Scarlet Prince said: Hello, all. I enjoyed writing short erotica (2000 - 6000 words a pop, usually) for my own entertainment. I've heard that some erotica authors make money by self-publishing their short stories on Amazon, typically via the Kindle Unlimited program.

Jul 13, 2022 · How much does an average self-publishing author make on Amazon in a year? How much a self-publishing author makes in a year on Amazon is not one size fits all. Let’s say you price your book at $9.99 and are at the 35 percent royalty level. You sell 250 copies of your book in the first year, grossing about $875.
You can struggle to publish it and barely scrape by publishing it elsewhere, but Amazon is probably the best place for it. Make a decent cover, upload it, put it in KU Select, then write another. Rapid fire is the key. Lots of 3-5k stories priced at.99c, then when you have 5 or so, put a compilation up at $2.99.
