Frequently asked questions
- How much does an author website cost?
- Most fit Starter (₱65K–₱85K). Authors with multiple books, course content, or active speaking businesses use Business tier (₱120K–₱180K).
- Should authors sell books directly?
- Direct sales work for higher-margin titles (especially self-published). Linking to Lazada/Shopee/Amazon works for traditionally published authors who can't undercut retail pricing.
