Amazon does all of this on their own; It\u2019s all in their algorithm to decide which book to promote, in what ways and through what means. The Amazon also gives royalties to the authors where their 70% of the retail price of the eBook above 3 dollars.

As there is still great demand for the paperbacks. In that case, there is Amazon\u2019s print-on-demand platform where these self-published books are printed on demand. So, with the POD, authors should be ready with their print files which is a little different from eBooks. Then with the same KDP account they can sell physical copies of their book. The profits that the authors get here is a bit different from eBooks. In paperbacks, it is a fixed price of 60% which the authors get as royalties.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The enchantment of <a  data-ilj-link-preview=\"true\"  data-featured-image=\"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/img-2-1-300x124.png\"  data-excerpt=\"Struggling with Amazon PPC visibility?
