The 5-Step Formula to Confidently Price Your Self-Published Book

Most authors lose sales every single day because of one simple mistake: they don’t know how to price their book properly. They give books away for free when there’s no benefit, or they charge less than they could—or more than they should. In this episode, Julie the Book Broad breaks down the five-step system to help you confidently price your book so you can sell more copies, attract the right readers, and actually make money doing it. You’ll learn: Why your business goals should come before you pick a price. How to calculate print costs and royalties using KDP and IngramSpark. What “expanded distribution” really means (and why you should never use Amazon for it). How to benchmark competitors’ prices so you don’t look cheap—or overpriced. The real math behind wholesale discounts, royalties, and international pricing. When (and how) free books can still work strategically. By the end, you’ll have everything you need to price your book like a pro — no guesswork, no gimmicks.
