Supporting Authors Makes a Difference
Through other audiobook retail platforms, the majority of your purchase goes to the retailer, publisher, and distributor – leaving the author with pennies, if anything. In the best case scenario, the author may earn 35% of your purchase, and often the author earns nothing at all.
Your Purchase Has Impact
You can help authors earn a living from their work! AMPlify authors always earn at least 65% royalties on each purchase — no hidden fees or fine print or secret “factors” applied. Over time, we plan to increase that percentage.
Publishing a book independently typically takes years of effort and thousands of dollars.
Besides the time and effort required to write a great story, there’s the additional cost of editing, layout design, cover design, audio production, marketing and more.
On other retail channels, authors have little or no say in the price their audiobook is sold at. They also can’t control if their audiobook is given way for free. AMPlify lets authors choose their sale price, and decide if and when they want to give free copies or discounts.
So, shouldn’t authors earn the greatest share from sales?
We think, YES!
Authors earn more by providing a direct sale option, rather than relying on well-known retailers to give them a fair share.
But, delivering an audiobook is far more complex than delivering a book, or an ebook. You can’t just put an audiobook in the mail!
Audiobooks require an app to provide a good listening experience.
We decided to help those talented people, who just want to write, create, and easily share their message with the world. Daily we speak with authors striving to make a living from writing, and we want to help make that a possibility.
Community
Retailers don’t provide any way for authors to build a community with their audience, but AMPlify does!
You can choose to stay connected with your favorite authors! When you purchase an audiobook through AMPlify, authors can send you updates, exclusive bonus content, and more! Unsubscribe anytime.
When you buy through AMPlify, you’re subscribing to the author, not just the platform.
We’re cultivating a community of audiobook lovers who gather via The Audiobook Club. You’ll be notified of new releases, live events, and anything else cool the community is cooking up!
Disrupting the Audiobook Industry: Authors Come First
Distributors (ACX, Authors Republic, Findaway etc.) have a nasty habit of misleading authors about royalty shares for their own financial gain.
Other distributors may be less dishonest about this, but they avoid the painful truth by marketing the author’s earnings as “70% royalties”, which sounds pretty good… right? What they don’t tell you…
That doesn’t mean 70% of the selling price. Authors are only earning 70% of what’s left after the retailer (Audible for example) takes their portion.
Confusing, right? Why can’t they just give a clear answer about the percent earned from each sale?
Partly, because ACX/Amazon/Audible refuses to release how they calculate royalties, calling it “proprietary information”. So, authors are left with the crumbs under the table and no way to decipher how that number came about!
No Authors = No Audiobooks, so we designed AMPlify to put authors first. That’s why there’s NO in-app purchases and NO monthly subscription model.
