When comparing to traditional book publishing royalties 70% is a darn good percentage, more than you would earn selling a mass market paperback at about 8% royalties. KDP offers 70% royalties for $2.99 to $9.99, and 35% if the price is below $2.99 or above $9.99. Writing a book about any subject and making it simple is hard work.( Tweet This) How much is a book worth that provides simple, effective ways to happiness?Īnd maybe I really should consider how many nights I burned the midnight oil working on the book. Or, do I consider that “Happy Every Day” is a non-fiction book that provides valuable strategies and can genuinely help readers? If I go by the reviews and success on Story Cartel, should I charge $9.99? Should I take it’s popularity on Story Cartel into consideration? Rising to #1 on Story Cartel is no easy accomplishment. That’s quite revealing considering the book went out via Story Cartel to readers who had no personal interest in the book. The majority of reviewers of “Happy Every Day” loved it! As I write this there are 40 – 5 Star Reviews and 32 – 4 Star Reviews. It became the most popular book on Story Cartel. So in the case of eBooks the price does not equate worth. On Amazon there are many books rated far lower than similar books which are much cheaper. It encourages people to buy, rather than discourages.īut I know there are authors who disagree, and understandably so, because they’ve put so much time and effort into their work. Many of them feel as though $2.99 is short changing their work. If you don’t know who Joe is, just know this: He’s sold over one million eBooks. The first price that comes to mind, and the price I have had the most success with on Amazon, is $2.99.Īccording to Joe Konrath, on his blog, he states quite convincingly that $2.99 is the new eBook standard. Since today is the last day for reviewers to download the book from Story Cartel, it’s time for me to start considering the price. I simply considered it a reasonable price, and I didn’t need to give it too much thought because I realized most people would download the review copy and not buy it during the Story Cartel offer. There’s nothing scientific about the price I chose. Since I have been offering free review copies via Story Cartel in exchange for honest reviews I have set the price of “Happy Every Day” at $3.99.
