New Episode: Is Curios the Shopify Killer for Authors?

In my recent episode The Shopify Trap, I explained why selling direct doesn’t always pay off for authors. When you’re selling dozens of books instead of thousands, monthly fees and sales tax paperwork can eat your profits. Meanwhile, Amazon takes a substantial cut of every sale.

So, is there a better way to sell directly to readers without giving up your margins or adding another monthly bill?

I asked Greg Keogh, co-founder of Curios, a direct-sales platform used by thousands of authors. Greg and his team built Curios to handle the headaches that often come with selling direct, from sales tax to customer service.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn

• Three advantages you have over Amazon if you’re selling direct

• One Curios data feature that no other platform is giving authors

• How Curios saves you from having to be a tax expert and tech support (two things authors generally despise!)

Listen to the full episode or read the blog version to discover whether selling direct makes sense for you and the many features and benefits Curios offers authors.
