A wake-up call every author needs before June 10th—because being published isn’t the same as being profitable.

🔥 Attention Self-Published Authors!
Amazon is changing the rules again—and your royalties are on the chopping block. Starting June 10, 2025, authors selling books under $9.99 will see their royalty rate slashed from 60% to 50%. But the real issue? Most authors were never truly profitable to begin with.

In this unfiltered episode of The Entrepreneur’s Lounge Radio Show & Podcast, award-winning publisher, author, and media mogul Alesha Brown, The Joy Guru breaks down what this change really means for indie authors and presses.

More importantly, she reveals:

  • Why being published is NOT a business strategy

  • The 4 things you must do before June 10

  • How to design a profitable author platform

  • The difference between being an author and being an authorpreneur

  • Why self-published authors need to stop depending on Amazon alone

Whether you’re a first-time writer or a seasoned author feeling stuck, this episode will shake up how you approach your publishing journey—and give you the steps to finally monetize your message.
