I just discovered that Gumroad — where all my products live — has a feature called Purchasing Power Parity, and I've enabled it across everything. Here's what that means: if you're buying from a country where the cost of living is lower, you automatically get a discount. No code needed. No form to fill. It applies on its own the moment you open a product page. The discount can go up to 50% depending on where you're buying from. I noticed more and more people from different countries joining the community, and it made me think — $60 might be nothing for someone buying in euros with a Western European salary, and it might be a real barrier for someone in a completely different economic reality. That's not a reason to keep people out of the method. So I turned it on. If you want to see exactly what discount you're getting based on your location, head to elevatepublishers.com, open any product, and you'll see it applied automatically. That's it. Just wanted to make sure everyone here knew. Dave

Hello team, is there any legal method to reduce the withhold 30% of any non-US self-publisher’s royalties? Thanks guy for your advice.

Has anyone had results from posting on Pinterest or Youtube in addition to Instagram and Tiktok? I read of someone who made around 100 videos promoting her book on Youtube. It was outselling competing books on Amazon even though it was priced higher and there were complaints about the interior quality.
