Publica tu libro y gana de cuatro formas.

Publish the book. Sell it. Let people read it properly.

Turn a manuscript into something people can actually buy. Give your book its own storefront, a browser-based reader that remembers where each reader stopped, free and paid chapters, and four ways to earn from the same title.

The idea

A finished manuscript is not yet a product.

• It is a file.
• Someone still needs somewhere to find it.
• Somewhere to buy it.
• Somewhere to read it.
• And a way for you to actually make money from it.
• You could send a PDF.
• You could ask someone to transfer money.
• You could email them the file.
• You could hope they remember which page they stopped on.
• Or you could publish the book properly.
• Imprint gives the title an address.
• A storefront.
• A reader.
• A checkout.
• And multiple ways to make money from the same work.
• The manuscript is the starting point.
• Imprint turns it into a book people can discover, buy, read and return to.

A book deserves a reading experience

People read on phones.

Laptops. Tablets. Whatever device happens to be in front of them. They shouldn't have to download a PDF, pinch and zoom through tiny text, or search for the page they were last reading. Imprint gives every title a browser-based reader.

• Open the book.
• Read.
• Close it.
• Come back later.

• The reader remembers where you stopped.
• Pick up on another device.
• Keep reading.
• No file to lose.
• No app to install.
• Just the book.

Give people a reason to start reading

A description can tell someone what your book is about.

• A chapter can show them.
• Choose which chapters are free.
• Let people read enough to understand the work before asking them to pay.
• For example:
• 14 chapters.
• 3 free.
• 11 paid.
• Someone can start reading immediately.
• If they want the rest, they buy access.

The free chapters become part of the sales experience rather than just another product description.

Four ways to make money from one title

Most platforms give you one obvious transaction: Buy the book. Imprint gives you more ways to monetise the same work.

Sell it outright

One payment. Permanent access. The straightforward way to sell a finished title.

Rent it

Give someone access for a defined period at a lower price. Useful for readers who want the book but don't need permanent access.

Reader tips

• Someone finished the book.
• They loved it.
• Give them the option to pay you again.
• A tip can turn appreciation into another source of revenue.

Subscriptions

• Put a title or catalogue behind recurring payment.
• This is particularly useful when you publish regularly.
• A new chapter.
• A new title.
• A continuing series.
• The reader keeps paying for continued access.

One title can therefore serve different readers with different budgets and different buying preferences.

Sell or rent

Not everyone who wants to read your book is ready to buy it outright.

A rental gives them another option. For example:

Buy

₦6,500 Permanent access

Rent

• ₦1,200
• 30-day access
• The reader gets a lower-cost way into the book.
• You get revenue from someone who might otherwise have walked away.
• And someone who rents may later decide they want permanent access.
• You don't have to force every reader into the same transaction.

Let readers tip you

A reader reaches the end.

• They enjoyed the book.
• They want to support you.
• Let them.

Reader tips give people a way to voluntarily pay more after they've already received the thing they paid for. It's a different kind of transaction:

• Not:
• "Pay me to get the book."
• But:

"I enjoyed the book. Here's a little more." Small amounts can add up, particularly when you have a growing readership.

Build recurring revenue

If you publish once, a sale may be the right model.

If you publish repeatedly, a subscription can change the economics. Imagine a writer publishing a new chapter every two weeks. Or a publisher releasing new titles throughout the year. Instead of asking readers to buy every piece individually, create a subscription.

• Readers pay regularly.
• You keep publishing.
• The relationship continues.

Your book gets its own storefront

Every title gets somewhere people can actually go.

• Show:
• The cover.
• The title.
• The description.
• The author.
• The available chapters.
• The sample.
• The price.
• The buying options.

• Then give the page its own public address.
• Put that link in:
• Your Link in Bio.
• Your Website.
• Your email.
• Your social posts.
• Your Outpost campaigns.
• Your pitches.
• Anywhere you want people to find the book.

See what each title earns

If you've published one book, you want to know what that book made.

• If you've published ten, you definitely don't want one giant revenue number.
• Imprint gives you earnings per title.
• See the money generated by:
• Sales.
• Rentals.
• Tips.
• Subscriptions where applicable.
• That lets you understand which books are actually performing.
• One title might drive the majority of your sales.
• Another might have a smaller but loyal readership.
• Another might be the title people discover first before buying something else.
• The catalogue becomes something you can understand commercially.

Share the money with the people who made it

Books are often collaborative.

• Author.
• Illustrator.
• Editor.
• Designer.
• Co-author.
• Translator.
• Other contributors.

• You don't always have the money to pay everyone upfront.
• With revenue sharing, you can give collaborators a percentage instead.
• For example:
• Book sale:
• ₦6,500
• Illustrator:
• 20%
• The agreed share is paid automatically from the relevant revenue.
• And the same principle can apply across sales, rentals and reader tips.
• The people who helped make the book can participate in the money it generates.

Let other creators recommend your book

You don't have to be the only person selling your book.

• Through Plug, other creators can recommend your title to their audiences.
• You decide the commission they receive.
• They recommend the book.
• Someone buys it through their recommendation.
• They earn their share.
• You make a sale you may not have reached yourself.
• Your book gets another distribution channel.
• And the person doing the recommending gets paid for bringing the buyer.

Publish more than conventional books

Imprint isn't limited to novels.

• Creators can publish:
• Books.
• Guides.
• Manuals.
• Reports.

• Long-form educational material.
• Serialised fiction.
• Other substantial written works people are willing to pay to read.
• If it is worth reading and worth paying for, it can have a place on Imprint.

Who it is for

Creators

You wrote something people can learn from, use, enjoy or keep. Turn it into a product instead of leaving it as a file.

Publishers

Build a catalogue of titles with their own storefronts, reading experiences and monetisation options.

Manuscript-based businesses

Turn long-form knowledge into something people can purchase, rent or subscribe to.

Brands

For research, reports and brand publications, Klairova Website or Lede may be the better fit. Imprint is designed primarily for titles that are meant to be sold.

How it works

From manuscript to published title.

1. Create the title
   • Add the book.
   • Add the cover.
   • Write the description.
   • Add the chapters in order.
2. Decide what readers can read for free

   Choose which chapters are free. Use them as the sample that lets people experience the work before purchasing.

3. Set your monetisation
   • Choose the ways readers can access the title.
   • Sell it outright.
   • Offer a rental.
   • Enable reader tips.
   • Put it behind a subscription.
   • Use the options that make sense for your publishing model.
4. Add your collaborators

   If other people contributed to the book, define their revenue share. They can receive their percentage from the relevant earnings automatically.

5. Turn on Plug

   If you want other creators to recommend your title, enable Plug and set the commission you are willing to pay.

6. Publish

   Your book gets its own public storefront and reading experience.

   Share the link.

7. Get paid
   • Readers buy.
   • Readers rent.
   • Readers tip.
   • Subscribers pay.

   The money generated by the title flows into your Klairova earnings.

Three ways to use Imprint

Turn a manuscript into a business

A writer has spent a year writing a practical guide. The manuscript is finished. Instead of sending a PDF to people who transfer money manually, the writer publishes it on Imprint.

• The book gets a storefront.
• Three chapters are free.
• The rest is paid.
• Readers buy access.

The writer can see exactly what that title earns. The manuscript has become a product.

Publish serialised fiction

• A novelist doesn't want to wait until an entire novel is finished.
• They publish a new chapter every two weeks.
• Readers subscribe for access.
• The audience grows alongside the story.
• When the novel is complete, the finished title can also be sold outright.

The same work creates recurring revenue while it is being written and a standalone product when it is finished.

Turn collaboration into shared ownership of the revenue

• A writer has the manuscript.
• An illustrator creates the artwork.
• The writer cannot afford the illustrator's full fee upfront.
• Instead, they agree on a percentage of the revenue.
• The book goes live.
• Readers buy and rent it.
• Readers tip.
• The illustrator receives their agreed share from the revenue.
• The work gets published without the creator needing all the money upfront.

Imprint + Plug

You wrote the book.

• Another creator has the audience.
• Plug lets them recommend it.
• You decide their commission.
• They make the recommendation.
• A reader buys.
• They earn their share.
• You reach someone you may never have reached yourself.
• This is especially useful for books with a clear audience fit:
• A business creator recommending a business book.
• A writer recommending another writer.
• A fitness creator recommending a health guide.
• A photographer recommending a photography book.

Imprint + Outpost

Your book needs an audience.

• Outpost gives you a way to communicate with that audience.
• Announce the book.
• Share the free chapters.
• Tell readers when the next chapter is coming.
• Launch the finished title.
• Send reminders.
• Recommend another title.
• The book is the product.
• Outpost is the communication layer around it.

Imprint + Link in Bio

Someone discovers you on social media.

• They click your Link in Bio.
• They see your book.
• They open the title.
• They read the free chapters.
• They buy.

One link can take someone from discovering you to becoming a reader.

Imprint + Wallet

Your book generates money.

• Sales.
• Rentals.
• Tips.
• Subscriptions.

That money flows into your Klairova Wallet. Collaborator shares can also be handled from the relevant revenue. The publishing experience and the money generated by the publishing experience live inside the same ecosystem.

Imprint + Campus

Sometimes the same knowledge works better in two formats.

• A book can explain the principles.
• A course can teach the practical application.
• For example:
• The book explains marketing strategy.
• The course teaches someone how to implement it.
• You can sell both as separate products.
• The reader who wants the book can buy the book.
• The learner who wants instruction can buy the course.
• And each can lead to the other.

Imprint vs selling a PDF

Imprint vs a traditional bookstore

Before you publish

A few things to know.

THE FREE CHAPTERS MATTER. Don't treat the free chapters as an afterthought. They're your opportunity to let someone experience the writing before asking them to buy. Choose chapters that make the reader want the next one. MAKE THE BUYING OPTIONS CLEAR. If you offer both purchase and rental, explain the difference.

Permanent access versus temporary access. Don't make readers guess. SUBSCRIPTIONS WORK BEST WITH CONTINUING VALUE. If you're publishing one finished book, a subscription may not be the right model. If you're publishing regularly, it can be. A subscription needs a reason for someone to keep paying. AGREE COLLABORATOR SHARES BEFORE PUBLISHING.

If you're working with an illustrator, co-author, editor or another contributor, settle the commercial arrangement before the book starts generating money. LET PEOPLE DISCOVER THE BOOK. A storefront is not distribution by itself. Put the title where your audience already is.

• Link in Bio.
• Website.
• Outpost.
• Social.
• Plug.

Your book needs readers to find it. PUBLISHING IS NOT THE SAME AS UPLOADING. Uploading a file is easy. Building something people can discover, understand, buy, read and return to is the real job.

Why Klairova

Most writing ends as a file.

• A PDF on someone's laptop.
• A document in a Google Drive.
• A manuscript waiting for "someday."
• But a book is more than the file.
• It needs somewhere to live.
• Somewhere to be discovered.
• Somewhere to be bought.
• Somewhere to be read.
• And a business model that lets the work earn.
• Imprint puts those pieces together.
• Publish the title.
• Give it a storefront.
• Let people read the free chapters.
• Sell it.
• Rent it.
• Accept tips.
• Build subscriptions.
• Share revenue with collaborators.
• Let other creators recommend it.
• Track what each title earns.

And let the money flow into the same business infrastructure as everything else you do on Klairova. You didn't write a book to leave it in a folder. Publish it.
