How Manufacturing
Costs Work

Each time your book is sold, the printing (manufacturing) cost is deducted from your revenue.

  • Manufacturing costs depend on

    🔸 Page count
    🔸 Trim size
    🔸 Black & white vs. color interior
    🔸 Print location

  • Example (illustrative)

    🔸 List price: $20
    🔸 Retail share: approx. 45%
    🔸 Printing cost: approx. $4-$6
    ✔️ Your earnings = Royalty - Manufaturing cost; approx. $5-$7

  • This model ensures

    🔸 You only pay for printing when a sale happens
    🔸 No financial risk from unsold inventory
    🔸 Fully scalable unit economics
