Example of Potential Profit.
There are two levels of booksellers we deal with, one with
whom we place your book to sell charges 20% commission
while Amazon charges
40%. Below
are examples of a 300 page black and white book, that costs
$4.45 to produce, selling for $10.00, $15.00 or $20.00
and finally the profit you can expect:
If you sell
the book yourself:
- $10.00, Cost: $4.45, Estimate $2.25 shipping, Your
cost $6.70, Profit $3.30
- $15.00, Cost: $4.45, Estimate $2.25 shipping,
Your cost $6.70, Profit $8.30
- $20.00, Cost: $4.45, Estimate $2.25 shipping,
Your cost $6.70, Profit $13.30
Using 20%
commission (no shipping charges for you)(our recommended method):

- $15.00, Cost: $4.45, (20% x 15.00) $3.00,
Your profit $7.55
- $20.00, Cost: $4.45, (20% x 20.00) $4.00,
Your profit $11.55

40% commission (no shipping charges for you):

Your profit $1.55
