Lesson details

Everything happens on your ambassador page. Share sends a book to one person you choose, through a link that only works for them. They sign up or sign in, then read the whole book free for a set time. The three-dot menu beside a book sets how long that lasts, and the plus button starts a share with just the chapters you pick.

Two links send people to buy their own copy. The Buy link on each book opens that book’s page, and your referral link at the top of your page opens the author’s storefront. If your program pays a commission, you earn it when someone buys through either one. The author sets it as a percentage of the sale or a set amount.

Tap Payouts to set up where your earnings go. You only do this once. Each sale’s commission is ready thirty days after the sale, and payouts go out once a month when your balance reaches $25. People who buy through your links can choose to share their contact information with you. When they do, they show up in your Audience tab.

If your program is a paid membership, it renews every month. On the web, open the Subscription tab to update your card or cancel. In the app, use Manage membership. If you cancel, you keep everything until the month you paid for ends.
