Once upon a time, I made ok money from Kindle Unlimited, but only on series. Solo books rarely got checked out. On average, I earned about $0.06 a page for reads on KU. I tried it out again with my misadventures with Kindle Vella, but didn't come close to what I made from Ko-fi, so I decided to go wide again. I am currently experimenting with serialization here on Substack, but the experiment is only a couple of months old, but has shown some interesting results. While I have had little luck getting people to sign up for paid subscriptions yet, I have received so nice support on Ko-fi for my posts here. If they had a tip jar or other one time only feature, those transactions would probably have happened here. There are a lot of option in indie publishing, and I am glad to see you bringing them to light.

Thanks for this helpful guide! I’m currently researching my options and this is great info. Appreciate you sharing your experience, as well. I write obscure historical fiction and I’m thinking wide publishing might make the most sense.
