Exclusive vs Non-Exclusive: Exclusive distribution (40% royalty) requires you to sell only through one platform, while non-exclusive (20-25% royalty) allows multiple platforms but pays less per sale.
Pricing Strategy: Longer audiobooks typically command higher prices. The recommended range is based on industry standards for audiobook length.
Production Costs: Include narrator fees, editing, mastering, and cover design. Breaking even early helps you profit faster.
Note: Actual royalties may vary based on promotional pricing, returns, and platform-specific programs. These estimates are for planning purposes only.
