On June 22nd this year (2023) Amazon KDP increased their publishing fees for books self published on Amazon. At that time the decision was whether to keep the same listing price of the book and take a significant hit on the income or to increase the price of the book. I decided to increase the price of all my books from $6.99 to $7.99. In this video I show you what the effects of this was on orders, income and best seller rank so that you can make an informed decision on the best course of action for your own self published books.
