If you want to understand where book discovery is headed. This one's worth your time.

Big news for indie authors. KDP recently raised its 70% royalty threshold from $9.99 to $12.99 on ebooks. That's great news if you bundle books or write nonfiction, since those titles often sell at higher price points. More room to price smart and still keep more of your royalties. How do you feel about the new price cap?

A reminder worth repeating.

Being a full-time author requires the most of both time and money. You have to be willing to spend money on excellent book covers, a website, and advertising and spend the time writing more books, connecting with readers, and building a solid author business.

Is it possible? Absolutely. But if that's not what you want, stop putting pressure on yourself to try to do it all.

Figure out what you really want, and do the things that will get you there.

Authors, stop trying to do it all. Define what you want for your author career first, then build the marketing plan that fits

Booklinker just got easier.

Creating a smart link is now more flexible — you can start with an Apple URL, an Amazon URL, or an ISBN, whichever you have on hand. Booklinker takes it from there and finds the rest of the retailers for you.

Go to Booklinker.com and create a new link or go into your dashboard and create a new Collections page to check it out.

And as a reminder, give Booklinker a minute or two after creating or updating a link to find all available stores. Refresh the page if you don't see everything right away.

Before I get your head spinning about all the ways you can promote your books, I want you to stop and ask yourself one question.

What do you really want for your author career?

Without a clear understanding of what you are trying to accomplish, it's difficult to create a road map for achieving it.

Are you aiming for full-time author income? A solid side income? Fun money? Each path requires a different investment of time and money — and there is no right or wrong answer.

Figure out what you really want, and do the things that will get you there.
