Amanda Hocking sells a lot of books.
In the past year, her 9 books on Amazon have sold 900,000 copies on Amazon.
All direct to Amazon.
Her forte is the 99 cent novels. Yes, just 99 cents. Amazon pays up to 70% to the author.
Do the math, Amada is doing better then most authors and parlayed this into a movie deal, foreign right, etc.
When you find out what the market wants, work the system and provide great content, there a many ways for an author to prosper… in any economy.
Is Amanda’s model right for you? Comment here with your ideas on how this will sell more of your book.
When books are priced at 99 cents on amazon, the author gets 35% not 70%. You have to sell within the range of 2.99 to 9.99 to get 70%.
That sounds like it’s correct, but I don’t know. I was quoting the author and other reports.
I will be checking into this, as we’ve had several ideas we want to try.. Will post what I learn.
Bottom line? If you can sell 900k of something, you WILL figure out a way to make money from that market 🙂
Check out this pricing link from kindle direct publishing:

This might be as simple as the more correct wording being “up to 70%” but there is certainly more to selling 900k copies than the price point.
