Hey everyone! 👋 I’m new to the self-publishing world and currently exploring and learning as much as I can. I’m excited to be part of this community and connect with people who are serious about building real publishing businesses. Right now, I’m focused on understanding the foundations of KDP, branding, content creation, and long-term growth strategies. My goal is to build a profitable publishing business and eventually reach consistent monthly income through high-quality books and smart marketing. I’m looking forward to learning from all of you, sharing insights, and growing together along the journey. 🚀

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
