Royalties Triangulation: Price, Format & Rights to Maximize Net Author Revenue

Many authors focus on rankings and page reads while leaving money on the table through poor format, pricing, or distribution choices. In this focused 8-minute monologue Dan Desmarques walks you through a practical 3-step system to triangulate royalties across KDP (ebook/print), IngramSpark (wide print/distribution), and ACX (audiobook) so every format contributes maximum net income. You'll get clear rules for when to use KDP Select vs wide distribution, how to set price ladders that protect margin across channels, and how to calculate per-sale net revenue after printing costs, delivery fees, and distribution splits. The episode includes a short real-world example with numbers, an immediate one-page action checklist you can complete today, and a closing CTA to get a tailored royalties audit from 22 Lions’ publishing services.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
