I Asked Google’s AI, “How much royalty do authors get on Amazon?” 

This is the answer: “For eBooks, authors can choose between a 35% and 70% royalty rate, depending on the book’s price and distribution range. For paperbacks, the royalty rate is approximately 60%, minus printing costs.”

Before we go further you need to make a quick answer. Do you want the paper and hard covers bound to hold in your hands and show off to your friends and relatives?…. or Do You Want MORE MONEY?

I was raised in a family of musicians, artists, and authors. My cousin, his father, and his mother were authors, another uncle, a nephew also were authors and artists. I also authored booklets, books and I wrote advertising for magazines and newspapers for small businesses and new authors.

If you want the “prestige” of holding the book in your hands, then you must expect to suffer losses when the books don’t move and YOU were the one who paid to “self- publish.”

If you want (NEED!!!) To Earn More Money Now, the answer is in promoting and selling your book as an eBook. (that is an electronic book, meaning a PDF, Kindle, something of that nature.)

There is no contest; producing the job once, and putting it into a website as a PDF is the best answer because it comes out exactly as you produced it on a word processor like Microsoft Word. You can change it, update it, or correct it any time, there is no expense for printing, colating, binding, covers, boxing, shipping, and no retailers must be paid to sell for you.

I’m sorry we observe, more shopping malls and their book stores are closing. The obvious answer is to sell your book online.

I publish a shopping magazine, and more are opening in the US and abroad. You’re reading in the middle of a sample of these magazines right now! 

You can have advertising for your book, in our “book store” and your cost to advertise is, by percentage, less as you make more sales each month. 

Sell just 4 books and the advertising cost for the month is paid off. All the rest of the income Goes To YOU. Finally you realize it is costing you nothing to advertise. The advertising is earning a profit! Instead of paying Amazon up to 70% of the sales price for a $10 book you keep ALL of the income after the first 4 books have been sold. Grab your calculator and see what it can do.

If you sold 78 books in a month and the sale price was $9.97 your gross income for those 78 book sales would be close to $777.66. You will be required to pay for the use of bank card transactions and perhaps any sales taxes involved. The accounting for this is done automatically. It will be something close to (per book sold) 5.6% + .25 (25 cents) (now you have approximately $714.50 and you’ll have to pay Sales Taxes and your own income taxes.

You may need a local business license but if the money is going into PayPal and then to your bank account, you may be able to avoid those taxes while your business is still just a “start up” effort. Eventually, when your income grows to be much larger, you’ll have to have help from an accounting firm. It is wise to talk to an account about all of this as soon as you begin seeing sales.

All of those expenses are determined by the state and federal governments, and the banking system. I can’t change that. 

In approximate numbers; You sold 78 books, got a gross income of $777.66, and your little business will receive about $733.79. The money went to pay for collecting through a bank card. PayPal chargest approximately 5.6% and .25 per transaction. Stripe prices are similar. 

You paid $25 to advertise across the entire world to a growing audience. Can you manage the cost of .84 per day to promote your own work?

You’ll yield a bit more than approximately $9.16 per book sold, which is a profit for you of more than 91.8%. The rest of the taxes vary with sales taxes and federal income taxes.

You can immediately see you’ll be earning more more with us than you would ever earn with Amazon. You collected close to a 90% royalty. The best you can ever hope for from Amazon is a 65 or 70% royalty.

Who will sell the most for you? It will take time to compare through testing. The income varies with what you are writing about and how well the advertising was written. Amazon openly admits they collect more from you. Our bookstore collects less. Another way of saying it is, “Amazon charges more.”

The agreement we have is that you published your own book. You are the publishing business. Therefore the money movement and taxes are your responsibility. Money has been collecting at PayPal and every 2nd week what you earned goes into your PayPal account. The book sales income does not go through me! It goes directly from PayPal or Stripe to YOUR bank or your PayPal account.

 Ohhh….huMMmmm.

In this way, the advertisement cost you $25, and all the rest to you is gross profit. You collected close to 717.60. You had nothing to handle about website management and the man other related expenses. 

Taxes where you reside vary quite a lot. Some “digital nomads settling or business licensed in another country will pay less in taxes than Americans would. Economist Peter Schiff moved his offices to Puerto Rico which is an American territory but the tax rates are much lower there. If I remember right, his home is in Connecticut but his business is in Puerto Rico.

The important point is, you can live elsewhere and collect more profit working on line with a combination of advertising through our bookstore and running a business which is licensed elsewhere. 

AI says: Five states have no statewide sales tax: New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, and Delaware. These are sometimes called the NOMAD states. 

Eight U.S. states impose no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming do not levy income taxes. Washington does not tax income but does tax capital gains of certain high earners. As you can see, as your business grows you can change licensing and location and keep more income from your writing.

Write the book once, and let me promote it. You’ll earn more and that book may produce more income for you, possibly for several years!

If you wrote on a subject you understand and want to continue writing about, you can produce a series of books on the topic. Each book once published is producing passive income. You did the job once and it may earn money for you for many years.

Payment each buyer made goes, Not to me and then to you! It goes to YOUR bank card gateway and one of the best of these in the US is PayPal. Another very good one is STRIPE. This gives you the opportunity to see your ledger on line at STRIPE or PayPal as often as you wish and keep track of sales. Your obligation to me is the agreed (presently) $25 per month. Your income per book is probably going to be more than 85%. Thus, your nearly $10 book will very likely earn for you about  $8.50. That’s very good.

I’m working with average numbers here. The cost to advertise your book in our magazine’s bookstore is $35/MONTH (“My gosh, that’s cheap!”)

So says my publisher friend. He is telling me I’m not charging enough. I have my reasons. I want a faithful following of customers like you who come back every month and continue promoting their books, I hope for years!

It takes time, effort, and money to develop a website, and then develop an audience. Naturally, if you tried to do all of this yourself it might take more than 3 years to produce a site and learn enough of marketing and writing advertising to make any progress. It’s more advantageous for you to advertise with your book in my bookstore and links to that store will be all over the USA and parts of Southeast Asia, plus other English speaking countries. You can also advertise at Amazon. Test and see what results.

You would pay more to advertise on META/Facebook/ or Instagram or Google, and I have many reasons why I don’t like or trust them.

Barnes & Noble is a good firm to carry your book, but your royalty will be lower because their fees are much higher.

For at least the past 225 years getting published was a huge problem because someone you never met decided if they would risk publishing an author’s book.

You could not just send a manuscript to a big publisher about whatever you want. Even now, Writer’s Market tells you what each publisher will accept this year.

I knew a woman who had developed a method of comparing hand writing analysis with Astrology and wanted to sell a book about it. No one wanted it, because they had already decided what subjects they would invest in publishing, and her “unique” subject was of no interest to them. She wanted the prestige to say she was published by a big name publisher. The prestige won’t earn anything. So far as I knew, she never got that book published.

Each publishing company will take a limited number of titles on each year, and then they produce 10,000 and pray someone buys them. Sometimes it’s a gamble; they may earn a profit or they may not. Meantime the author earns about 12%.

My uncle with his novels about the wild west was earning nearly nothing. His wife was writing trashy romance stories for a magazine and earning 5 cents per word. That also is nearly nothing!

My parents with their dry cleaning business on Long Island, NY contributed quietly to keep them alive! These days 12% that arrives once every 3 or 6 months also amounts to almost nothing.

I have been interested in writing advertising since age 15 and I’ve worked in that business and studied the writings of the great names, learning their methods, learning their writing styles.

For years I worked selling business to business advertising space in news papers, magazines, sometimes phone directories, sometimes for radio and TV advertisements.

You probably will not find anyone who can offer you the quality of my work, the wisdom of years learning all of this and experiencing a lot of hours walking in and out of stores, talking to prospective clients, making mistakes, learning what went wrong and how to correct it. No one I know in any ad agency would do all of this for you AND publish your book in a bookstore linked to a group of shopper’s magazines all over the US and the rest of the world.

There’s no one else doing this, and doing it well for such a low price.

It’s time for you to look a bit more now. See what we’re doing here at   https://NYCAreaShopperMagazine.com  (New York City Area Shopper Magazine,

• see how it’s organized,
• realize you’ll be on the “Cover Page”, (no other magazine sells space on their cover,)
• The small ads lead to a BIG page to describe your book and may include 3 photos. (Amazon doesn’t do this!)
• The magazine is always clean, dry, never a dirty mess from rain or snow.
• It’s always “like new” on their computer monitor screen.
• Up to date, and I think quite attractive.
• Of course this magazine is available everywhere, every day and night, world-wide.

Even if it’s dark and snowing, a viewer can read and enjoy this magazine anywhere in the world and ignore the weather. She’s dry, warm and safe, shopping through clothing, jewelry, carpeting, furnishings, almost anything really….

• There’s far less need these days for anyone to go out of their home to buy and see products. Business done online is growing. Many products can be seen and purchased instantly Online.

You can contact friends about this magazine and the book store advertising format. Ask for their opinion through their phone or social media. If they are attracted to what they see, that’s a very strong indicator they represent many other people who also will look at what you offer and make a purchase.

• Also note, there’s a web page counter at the bottom of every page. You can keep track of that on your own notebook or accounting ledger and know how many people are viewing your ad each week or each month.
• The printed magazines can’t do that and Amazon does not offer the honesty to show you what number of viewers you got this month.
• We are the only ones doing it because I want to prove that in the long run, the advertising here will not cost you money. It will pay you a profit and more than repay it’s cost – which is like saying the advertisement has been costing you nothing. Free Advertising! What would the others think of that?

Take a look, think a while, read this again and follow THIS LINK (coming soon) to place your advertisement in our Bookstore section. The starting fees can be paid at the start, or spread out over several payments added to your modest monthly automatic withdrawal.

Now that you\re here, enjoy a few minutes to view this flagship magazine in New York City. There are more similar magazines opening in other cities across the USA.

All of our magazines in the US and abroad will link to our book store. For at least a year, You will NOT pay more, but meantime our audience for the book store continues growing! That means there are “more eyes” looking at your advertising, according to your book topic.

How To Make Fabulous Beauty Queens Fall Hopelessly In Lust With You” might earn more than “Best Ways to Clean Horse Stalls.” You’re the one deciding the topics. 

You should be, MUST be included, and make much more royalty-profit for just $25 for the One-Time page setup fee and $25/month until you ask to cease running the ad.

If you don’t know how to write advertising, you can pay me to do it, and most times I can produce a good advertisement for you for a courtesy price of just $35.

Believe me this; Most of the advertising on YouTube is so badly written, and read, it’s no wonder these new ads appear and disappear each month. What a pity. These people have no idea how to format an ad so it works! They’re taking someone’s terrible advice and wasting money hand over fist!

Promoting your book can be a terrible and disappointing experience, but we have the solution to that problem.

When you see your book beginning to earn money selling, you’ll be very pleased. The sale price does not go to us and then you. It will go to YOU directly through PayPal. PayPal is a central hub to many banks. The money at PayPal can be transferred to your local bank, or a prepaid debit card. It’s very convenient. Our accounting system handles money coming in and going to your designated account automatically.

Read, think, and let’s begin making a real profit for your book production efforts.

Can we promote your book on YouTube too? Yes! That’s coming!

When you get started I’ll need your email address so you can be informed about what requirements I have to promote for you. I will make every effort to help you gain success. 

Of course I have seen these ads with timers and  other gimmicks. One of the best advertising men in the world, worth millions, never uses these tricks. I’m very careful to make the right impression and help you enjoy success and an important improvement in your income.

My publisher friend is still hammering on me to raise my prices, but I think this is too soon. This is a great opportunity. Get into it right away, ideally today.

Best regards,

PS. This is as serious as it can get. I have been an economics student since the 1970s and what we see now is not just bad. It’s worse than anything seen in American history. The land lords are heartless. Young, educated people are sleeping and freezing to death on sidewalks, or doing other evil to survive. This is heart rending. I’m sure you have seen the news stories and pictures of tents on sidewalks, and people drugged out of their minds.

May it be God’s Grace, it should not be you.  Not You! Not if I have anything to do with it.

What would your life feel like if you had an additional $800 or more coming in each month? That is what I want for you. You have read this much. I feel that you have become  a new friend.

The worst thing to do is let all of this sit for 3 days and then let this opportunity drift out of your mind and be forgotten. Take Action. Go To THIS LINK and Get Started Promoting Your Book THIS HOUR! 

Thanks for reading.
