Your Revenue
You keep 80% of net proceeds on each sale. Production costs come off the top, then the split runs in your favor. Payouts through Stripe Connect, monthly.
Your Audience
When a reader buys your book, you receive their email. That connection is yours to grow. Build a readership that follows you, not a platform.
Your Storefront
Your own vendor page with your name, your brand, your products. Sell on other platforms at the same time. Leave when you want. Your work goes where you go.
Why This Exists
The Problem We Solved.
Building an audience as an independent author is one of the hardest parts of the work. You publish a book. Someone buys it. They read it. It changes something in them. And you have no idea who that person is. The platform where you sold the book keeps that relationship for itself.
This marketplace was built to fix that. When someone buys your book here, you get to know them. You get their email. You can reach out, share your next release, start a conversation. The relationship between author and reader is the most valuable thing in publishing, and most platforms treat it as their asset, not yours.
We are here to make a living from the life we’ve lived. To do that, we need an audience. This is how we build one.
Life-Changing Wisdom Marketplace gives you the infrastructure to sell, the fulfillment to deliver, and the connection to grow. You put in the work. The platform makes sure that work pays you back.
Before You Apply
What You Need to Get Started
A completed manuscript or merchandise designs ready for production. Books should be in PDF format for print-on-demand through Lulu Direct.
A cover image for your book or product photos for merchandise. High resolution, production-ready quality.
A product description and your retail price. You set the price. We recommend reviewing production costs first so your margins make sense.
A Stripe account (or willingness to create one). Stripe Connect handles your payouts. Setup takes a few minutes during onboarding.
The Money
How and When You Get Paid
Your earnings flow through Stripe Connect directly to your bank account. Here is the timeline from sale to deposit.
Customer Buys
Stripe processes the payment. Production costs are deducted. Your 80% share is calculated. You see the sale in your vendor dashboard in real time.
Settlement Period
Earnings are held for 45 days after the end of the sales month. This window covers returns (30-day policy), delivery issues, and chargeback protection for both sides.
Monthly Deposits
After the 45-day settlement, your earnings deposit to your bank via Stripe. Once the first cycle passes, payouts arrive monthly on a predictable schedule.
Amazon KDP waits 60 days. We settled on 45. Read the full Revenue Model.

Common Questions
Before You Decide
Do I need a finished book to apply?
+
You can register your vendor account and set up your storefront before your book is complete. Your first product listing requires a finished manuscript and cover. Start the application now and upload your book when it is ready.
Can I sell on Amazon and other platforms at the same time?
+
Yes. There is no exclusivity requirement. Your book, your rights, your choice. The difference here: you get your buyers email and keep 80% of net revenue.
How do I get paid?
+
Payouts are processed monthly through Stripe Connect, 45 days after the end of the sales month. This waiting period protects both the vendor and the marketplace against returns and chargebacks. After your first payout cycle, deposits arrive on a steady monthly schedule. Read the full Revenue Model.
What happens if a customer returns a product?
+
If a customer receives a refund, the vendors 80% share is deducted from future payouts. The 45-day settlement period means most returns resolve before your payout processes. Production costs on printed items are not recoverable (the book was already manufactured). This is standard across print-on-demand platforms. Read the full Refund Policy.
