Episode notes
Indie Pricing Beats Traditional Royalties
- Indies earn higher per-copy royalties and can undercut trad prices to outsell them on Kindle.
- Example: 70% of $4.99 yields more to the indie author than 25% of $9.99 for a trad author, plus KU boosts volume.
Fiction Performs Better Than Nonfiction In Ebooks
- Ebook buyers disproportionately prefer fiction because nonfiction readers value skippable, referenceable paper or audio formats.
- AAP data shows nonfiction audio sales now exceed nonfiction ebook sales, reflecting format preference.
Use Price Pulsing To Boost Rankings
- Use price pulsing: temporarily drop your ebook price to create urgency and climb Amazon charts.
- Amplify pulses with promo services like BookBub or your own email list to avoid getting lost among countless sales.
