About the Book
Most self-published authors are flying blind. They run ads without knowing their profit margins. They set prices based on guesswork. They watch their royalties barely cover coffee while competitors thrive.
This isn't a motivation problem... it's a math problem.
Profit-First Publishing is your unfair advantage. Inside, you'll discover the exact formulas, frameworks, and strategies that turn struggling authors into profitable publishers. Learn how to calculate your true profit per sale, set prices that maximize earnings, and run Amazon ads that actually make money. No fluff. No theory. Just battle-tested tactics from the trenches of indie publishing.
Whether you're launching your first book or your fiftieth, this guide gives you the financial clarity to stop guessing and start scaling. You'll master break-even ACOS calculations, lifetime value modeling, keyword research that converts, and campaign optimization strategies that compound your results.
Stop treating your books like a hobby. Start running them like the business they are. Your readers are waiting. Your royalties are waiting. It's time to claim both.
