With the rise of self-publishing, writing and publishing your ebook to make money online is now possible. So if you enjoy storytelling, why not give it a go?
To create a polished ebook, apart from a writer, you need a designer and an editor to ensure that the output is as great as possible. You can hire freelancers to help you out.
Then you can submit it to a self-publishing platform and focus on promoting it. However, before submitting it, check each company’s royalty policy to see the rate you’ll receive for every sale.
Let’s see some self-publishing platforms:
- Barnes & Noble Press: They offer a dedicated calculator to measure royalties. When published by B&N Press, you can earn a flat 70% royalty rate.
- Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing: You can make up to 70% royalty on sales.
- Smashwords: You earn a 60% royalty if your ebook is sold via a retailer or at least 80% if they get it straight from Smashwords.
- Apple Books for Authors: They provide authors with 70% royalties.
Check the requirements of your preferred self-publishing platform and follow their instructions to publish your ebook successfully. You can make it work as long as you have a solid product with a topic that excites readers.
