Here's what most authors don't know about Amazon: 📚

They DON'T distribute ebooks to other retailers.

Publish only on KDP and your ebook won't be on:
❌ Apple Books
❌ Barnes & Noble
❌ Kobo
❌ Public libraries
❌ Dozens of international retailers

You're leaving THOUSANDS of potential readers (and sales) on the table. 💸

The solution? A three-platform strategy that gives you:
✅ Maximum reach
✅ Best quality
✅ Highest royalty rates

I break down all three platforms in my latest article—including which one pays 70% royalties and which one gets you into bookstores.

Three platforms give you 90% global reach: KDP for Amazon ebooks (70% royalties), Ingram Spark for quality paperbacks and worldwide distribution, and Draft2Digital for non-Amazon ebook retailers. Your complete platform strategy guide.

Five years ago, this author's book was available in 3 countries.

Today? Over 40 countries.

Same book. Same author. Same content.

What changed?

We implemented a three-platform publishing strategy that gave her true global distribution.

Here's what most authors don't realize:

Publishing on Amazon alone means you're reaching maybe 60% of potential readers.

The other 40%? They shop on:
• Apple Books
• Barnes & Noble
• Kobo
• Regional retailers
• Public libraries
• International platforms Amazon doesn't serve

With the right three-platform approach:
→ Your ebook reaches 90%+ of global readers
→ Your paperback is available in 40+ countries
→ You earn maximum royalty rates
→ You get paid monthly, directly

I just published a complete platform strategy guide based on 10+ years and 270+ books published.

For the authors, coaches, and thought leaders in my network: Are you leaving revenue on the table with a single-platform strategy?

Full breakdown in this post >>>

Three platforms give you 90% global reach: KDP for Amazon ebooks (70% royalties), Ingram Spark for quality paperbacks and worldwide distribution, and Draft2Digital for non-Amazon ebook retailers. Your complete platform strategy guide.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑳𝑳𝒀 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒑𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌?

After helping 140+ authors publish their books, I can tell you it's usually not what you think.

Most authors get paralyzed by overwhelm—endless checklists, conflicting advice, and "must-haves" that aren't actually must-haves at all.

The truth? You only need 3 things to publish a professional-quality book.

Just. Three. Things.

I broke it all down in a new article > https://www.40daypublishing.com/blog/the-only-3-things-you-actually-need-to-publish-your-book
