Why would an author host his Books with BooksOnline?
Here are 17 compelling reasons to list your eBooks and audiobooks on BooksOnline.Club:
Benefit #1. BooksOnline pays a royalty of 60% (base royalty of 30% + 30% affiliate fee) on all your eBooks no matter the price. Amazon pays a royalty of only 35% on your eBooks priced outside the price range of $2.99 to $9.99.
Example: If your eBook is listed at $24.99, Amazon only pays you 35% or $8.74. BooksOnline pays you 30% royalty as the author plus 30% of sales through your affiliate link, or 60%, which is $14.99.
Example: If you had 1,000 sales of this same book, your total royalties from Amazon would be $8,740 vs. BooksOnline where your total royalties would be $14,990.
Example: If you sell an eBook on Amazon priced at $9.99 you earn 70% or $6.99. If you price that same eBook at $19.99 on Amazon, you earn 35% or $6.99. This is how ridiculous it can get at Amazon. BooksOnline pays from the same royalty schedule no matter how you price your eBook. Price it higher, if the market will bear it, and you earn more, but not necessarily at Amazon.
Benefit #2. BooksOnline pays you a royalty of 60% (base royalty of 30% + 30% affiliate fee) on all your audiobooks no matter the price. Amazon through ACX only pays you 25% if you don’t give them the exclusive license to distribute your audiobook.
Example: If your audiobook sells for $14.99 Amazon only pays you $3.75 for a nonexclusive. BooksOnline pays you 30% royalty as the author plus 30% of sales through your affiliate link, or 60%, which is $8.99.
Example: If you had 1,000 sales of this same audiobook, your total royalties from Amazon would be $3,750 vs. BooksOnline where your total royalties would be $8,990.
