One thing I want everyone here to understand is just how much opportunity exists outside of Amazon when it comes to selling your books — and TikTok Shop is a big one right now. That’s why I invited a fellow author @Gwen Taylor into the community. Her journey is a real example of what’s possible when you treat your book like an asset instead of a one-time project. FOLLOW GWEN ON TIKTOK Gwen started on TikTok in 2025 with one clear goal: sell her book. We worked together on creating some video content, then she was able to get connected with a network of content creators. No complicated funnels. No huge audience. Just consistency and positioning. Then her book “The Burnt Out Bitch” went viral. She has sold close to 4,000 💰 copies directly on TikTok alone. What most people miss is the second-order effect: those TikTok sales didn’t just stay on TikTok. They boosted her visibility, credibility, and momentum — which then supercharged her Amazon sales as well. This is proof of something I say all the time: As an independent publisher, you are not limited to one platform. 📖 One book = an asset. 🏪 Multiple marketplaces. 🚀 Scalable opportunities. If you’ve been thinking too small about what your book can do, let this be your reminder that publishing is leverage — but only if you’re willing to use it. 👇Want to know more about what it takes to be successful on Tiktok shop?

People love listening to books! 📖 In 2025, this screen tells a simple story: 8,017 audiobook purchases. Audiobooks aren’t priced by you—they’re priced by length. Most of mine average about $3.50 per sale, which puts me right around $28,000 from audiobooks alone last year. This is why I love Amazon KDP. One book isn’t one income stream. When it’s positioned correctly, the same content can earn across multiple formats (ebook, paperback, hardcover, audio) and multiple marketplaces—without creating something new every time. The numbers are climbing and i'm ready to continue to GROW in 2026! Are you ready to grow with me? One day it would be amazing to get $100k annually just from audio, and the truth is I know it is doable I just have to stack more books and repeat the process.
