About this listen

Amazon takes sixty five percent. You write the book, edit the book, design the cover, run the ads. And Amazon keeps sixty five percent of every sale.

What if you could keep eighty percent instead?

In this episode, we break down the emerging model that is changing how authors think about their careers. Direct-to-reader publishing. Selling to your audience without the middleman. Owning your customer relationships instead of renting them.

We cover:→ The stark math of traditional vs self-pub vs direct sales→ Who direct-to-reader works for (and who should wait)→ What you actually need to start selling direct→ How to drive traffic to your own store→ Pricing, bundles, and special editions→ Why owning your audience changes everything→ A week-by-week implementation plan

This is not about abandoning Amazon. This is about not depending on it entirely.
