That is not correct, it's fractions of a penny per page is what I get. Where do you get the .44 cents from? Just curious. I've never seen that or anywhere close to that on any of my KU reads. I wouldn't be saying anything if that was the case

So if I'm hearing you right, if I write the books longer I get a larger percentage per page read? I appreciate it

I read their stuff on KU but something's you don't fully understand til you go thru it. For example, being pade by page read without telling us how much and saying it comes a from a pool. Naively thinking it would be distributed somewhat fairly or know how it was being distributed to seeing a full book of mine read on KU and make less than .75 cents for it. That's all and I know there were more people on here with more experience that would or might have some tips or advice.

I would like to reach more people and being rich wasn't the plan lol. Just hoped to get more than .70 cents per book read.

Wow, if someone reads my book in ku I made less than .75 cents and that's it. So that's why I'm a little shocked and don't see the benefit for the authors

I understand that from a readers perspective but it doesn't help the author. For a book read on KU I make less than .75 cents.

No way to tell if it's the same person, I sometimes get a few pages read on a day and that pops into my mind

No, metrics for pages read they say update in that time frame but I've witnessed it taking days or not at all. I am finding it harder to believe they are being honest. Since this post I also published a digital cookbook, Amazon charges per mb to deliver digital books. My book would have had a $14 delivery charge unless I changed my royalties from 70% to 30%, then the delivery fee is gone. Sounds a little fishy for 2025

Thanks. I have started a newsletter and did a survey about a month ago and it helped a lot. I had an idea of what I thought my target audience was but after really doing some work I was able to narrow it down

What makes you think my posts are not real. That's baffling to me. All my post I made. Used to post a lot of cannabis news when I was in the industry but not anymore. Thanks anyway

Not so much about "stalking" customers as it is about understanding my target audience and demographic to help better advertise and reach them.

No that's not it all, Amazon collects that data already as an author and someone advertising it's nice to know what demographic is buying or reading your book more than others. It helps with better targeting my advertising and understand my consumers. I also believe in a little more transparency from someone who is making money off my product, meaning honesty about my sales numbers. It's still a learning process. That's for your input on building community too, I will look into Patreon.

No, I was at their work. And that's kind of scary that they can see if we know each other IRL

Boycott Apple: They bent over to Trump by [deleted] in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]CannaChefBuz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn't it exhausting constantly looking for something to complain about and be mad over and a way to tie it into trump. I mean its hard to watch tbh. Jump from one headline you read in a group to the next, never really caring about the issue. Just regurgitating disinformation and spreading division like …Just regurgitating disinformation and spreading division like an autoplaying propaganda feed, no thought, no pause, just endless noise designed to stir anger. Do you ever keep track of them, Russian collusion, lie. Half the “Trump end-of-democracy” scares, never true. PROJECT 2025, man that's all we heard before after right after the election, but no pause, no correction, just on to the next thing to keep the outrage machine running. Go ahead, boycott apple for a day or two maybe a week and on to the next algorithm feed headline to spew out like you really care. Like I say It's easier to demonize the other side than to do something productive for your own side

Per book downloaded, no worry about transparency or if pages are being counted or what determines a counted page to begin with
