How much will I make?
You will receive 75% of net income as a royalty. Net income is the amount we receive from the distributor for each sale of your audiobook, which varies by distribution partner channel, and business model. For example, here is how partners pay royalties by business model:
- A la carte: 40% to 50% of list price
- Subscription: 30% to 40% of list price
- Revenue Share: 25% to 45% of revenue receipts
From this you can see that retailers will pay from anywhere from 25-50% of the retail price for the audiobook, depending on their contractual agreement.
Here is an example: for a $10 audio book, you can expect to earn from $1.88 – $3.75 per sale depending on which retailer did the sale.
