How Mayobook Helps Authors Keep More Royalties and Reach Global Readers

If you’re an indie author, you’ve likely felt it—the thrill of publishing… followed by the frustration of watching a big chunk of your royalties disappear. Between Amazon’s fees, print costs, and lost data from third-party sales, it can feel like you’re doing all the work but seeing only a fraction of the reward.

That’s why we created Mayobook.

As a publishing platform built by authors, for authors, Mayobook gives you more than a place to sell books. We give you ownership—of your audience, your profits, and your global impact.

Let’s walk through exactly how Mayobook helps authors thrive in today’s publishing landscape.

1. You Keep More of Every Sale

On most platforms, you’re giving up 30–70% of your royalties per sale. Print costs, distributor cuts, and hidden fees add up fast.

With Mayobook’s direct sales model, authors keep up to 85% of the retail price when selling directly to readers through their Mayobook-powered store.

Compare that to:

  • Amazon KDP: ~35%–60% after fees
  • IngramSpark: 45–55% retailer cut
  • Traditional publishers: Often 10–15% of net

This means if you sell a $14.99 paperback on Mayobook, you can take home over $11 per sale—rather than the $4–5 you might earn elsewhere.

2. Sell Direct. Build Global. Ship Anywhere.

You shouldn’t have to choose between global reach and high royalties. Mayobook helps you do both.

With worldwide shipping, digital delivery, and print-on-demand fulfillment through trusted global printers, your books can reach readers in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Europe, Australia, and beyond—without massive inventory or logistics headaches.

Readers buy directly from your Mayobook link, and we handle:

  • Secure payments
  • Global delivery
  • Print fulfillment
  • Mobile-optimized checkout
  • Automatic digital delivery for eBooks and PDFs

You keep the brand, the credit, and the profits.

3. Build an Author Brand, Not Just a Product Page

Amazon buries your books among millions of others. On Mayobook, your brand is front and center.

Every author gets a customizable storefront—with space to showcase:

  • Featured books
  • Author bio and mission
  • Email list signup
  • Reader reviews
  • Book trailers, audio samples, or bonus downloads

Think of it as your personal bookstore, sales page, and branding hub—all in one.

4. Real Customer Data = Real Marketing Power

Most retailers never tell you who bought your book. You lose out on crucial data like reader location, email address, or what format they preferred.

On Mayobook, you own your customer list. That means:

  • You can follow up with launch announcements
  • Offer special editions or bundles
  • Build long-term relationships with readers
  • Segment your audience by genre or interest

In 2025, data is everything. Mayobook makes sure you don’t give it away for free.

5. Seamless Integration with Email, Funnels, & Marketing Tools

Want to run a launch funnel? Capture ARC readers? Offer a 21-day challenge with your book?

Mayobook integrates with tools like:

  • FluentCRM
  • ConvertKit
  • Mailchimp
  • Stripe & PayPal
  • CartFlows & checkout bump offers

You can even add upsells, bonuses, or print/digital bundles with a few clicks—no coding required.

6. Author-Owned = Author-Proof

We’ve heard the horror stories—accounts suspended, books removed without notice, royalties withheld. When you rely solely on big platforms, you’re at their mercy.

With Mayobook, you’re building on your own foundation. You still have the option to distribute to Amazon, Ingram, or Apple—but your Mayobook store becomes your safety net, your profit center, and your long-term business asset.

7. Trusted by Indie Authors Across Genres

From nonfiction wellness guides and digital planners to children’s books, romance novels, cookbooks, and journals—Mayobook supports diverse formats and genres. If it can be printed or downloaded, we can help you sell it—beautifully and securely.

“I earned more in my first 30 days on Mayobook than I did in 6 months on Amazon. And I finally know who my readers are.”
