  • The default sliders show a strong best case. Shelfwork does not know your results and cannot promise any income.
  • Real results depend on your niche, book quality, covers, keywords, reviews and ads. Many books earn little or nothing.

  • Costs such as ads, taxes and your own time are not included above.
