You can opt into GOLD at an author level and get all your books included, or you can opt in at title level

 

So what is it all about?

 

The world is going through some tough times, especially authors! We have changed the way the Fiction4All business works and we have changed our GOLD program. My focus right now is the pool of wonderful authors who support Fiction4All by publishing on our websites.

 

GOLD has been designed as a simple to understand affiliate program. To keep it simple, anyone joining the GOLD program will be able to advertise any author and book that is opted into GOLD. When the people they advertise to buy something these affiliates will earn a straight 10% of the purchase price and you, the author will sacrifice 10% of the same price. So you will still get 60% or 25% if your book is priced in accordance with our lower royalty tier (i.e. priced under $2.99).

 

By joining GOLD you will make your books available to people to promote. When they earn money, so do you. GOLD is a simple program. As an author making your books available to people to promote, you give up 10% of your royalty when they get someone to buy your book[s]. The flip side is if a visitor brought to our sites buys a book that is NOT opted into GOLD then you will still earn the 70% royalty BUT because books not opted into GOLD will often be displayed after ones that are in GOLD, the chances of your book[s] selling will be much lower.

 

Fiction4All has been undergoing changes related to GOLD. The site will soon have two types of traffic (visitors). First will be the visitors who come to us from our own efforts, things like search engine and social media traffic generated directly by Fiction4All. You will always earn 70% royalty from these visitors. The second type of traffic is visitors brought to our site by people promoting books and authors through the GOLD program. These visitor are called affiliate traffic and when these people buy something you will earn 60% (15% if priced under $2.99) royalty assuming your book[s] are opted into GOLD.

 

Our GOLD affiliates cannot promote your author pages or books if you are not opted into GOLD as a content provider. So you will potentially be missing out on a lot of chances to make more sales if you decide not to opt in.

 

With the significant changes to royalty splits that came into effect from 1st November, this is a great opportunity for authors and publishers to increase their income from Fiction4All.
