Amazon Offers 70% Royalties for Authors

Subscribers to my newsletter often share with their fellows. This quick tip is from Karin Ireland.


Amazon now offers authors of Kindle material 70% royalties instead of 35%. But you have to go into your account to make the change. Here’s how:

Go to: https://dtp.amazon.com/mn/signin   Here are the steps to take:

~Sign in

~Click on Actions

~Click on Edit, rights, royalty and pricing

~Scroll down to Royalty Option

~Change royalty from 35% to 70%.

Note that you won’t be able to access this area again for about 48 hours (until the update has been made). Also note that, if your book is already available as a Kindle, the process may lead you back through some steps that are new before you can access to the new royalty terms.

Karin Ireland’s book, The Job Survival Instruction Book: 400+ Tips, Tricks, and Techniques to Stay Employed is available online and in bookstores.
