Payouts and monetization

Dear authors!

Our website and application are platforms that treat your hard work and creativity with great respect. We have endeavored to create a space where authors and readers meet: you share stories, and they discover them with joy. It is important to us that this process is comfortable and fair for both parties.

That is why we have gathered a vast array of opportunities for you — from transparent payment and promotion systems to audiobooks, translations, merchandise, and copyright protection. The more tools an author has, the more good books find their readers. And readers, in turn, gain access to new stories, authors, and formats.

Our goal is for your work to be in demand and worthily rewarded, and for reading to remain a favorite pastime for millions.

Below, you can familiarize yourself with all the opportunities our platform offers and choose the service package that works best for you.

1. Payments and Royalties

In your author dashboard, you can view your book sales, income from direct transfers, and detailed statistics for each book. This allows you to track how your works are performing and plan your future work.

1.1. Author Royalty

We offer standard terms for authors found on all literary platforms — monthly payments of your earnings.

An exclusive author receives 70% of sales.

A non-exclusive author receives 50% of sales.

1.2. The "My Hundred" System with a fixed monthly fee

We offer a fundamentally new and highly transparent approach to author royalty payments.

You pay the same amount each month (2,000 rubles) — think of it as renting your author space on our platform.

For this fixed monthly payment, which covers the costs of operating the platform (taxes, team salaries, technical support, and other operational expenses), you receive 100% of the royalties for your works without any deductions, immediately at the moment your work is purchased by a reader. That is, readers pay you directly via your payment details. There is no longer a need to accumulate a balance for withdrawal, wait for reports, check sales, or wait for transfers. Money goes directly to your account, bypassing us as intermediaries. How much you sell is exactly how much you get.

The terms are transparent and predictable: you know your expenses in advance and can calmly plan your creative workload.

IMPORTANT! The "My Hundred" system is only available to authors from Russia and only for self-employed individuals and sole proprietors.

1.3. "All Fair" Subscription

The company has one of the most transparent conditions for subscriptions.

Half of all the site's subscription revenue (after payment system commissions) is distributed among authors proportionally to the amount read. In other words, if your books were read via subscription, you are guaranteed to receive your payout.

IMPORTANT! A work is included in the payout list and counted if a reader has read at least 10% of the book.

The calculation is published monthly. You can always see how your income is calculated and be confident in a fair distribution.

1.4. Coins

This is an additional tool to reward authors for audience engagement. An author earns coins for reader activity and can exchange them for money by submitting a withdrawal request. The status of the request is displayed in your personal dashboard.

200 coins = 1 dollar.

2. Terms of promotion on the site

This section is designed to help your books find more readers right here on our platform. We offer free and discounted tools: starter audio recordings and advertising, banners, radio broadcasts, and podcasts. All of this helps you make a name for yourself, capture the audience's attention, and ensure your stories get noticed.

2.1. Initial author promotion stage

Want more readers? Post 4 free short-form works (short story, novella, novelette) with us. We will record them ourselves and feature them across the company's platforms. This is a simple way to make yourself known and attract a new audience.

What you need to do:

From you — 4 free short stories, novellas, or novelettes to be sent to our editorial email address (label the file: Author's Full Name story 1; the file itself must contain the author's full name and pseudonym (as on the site, if applicable), story title, genres, synopsis, and the text itself). For example: file name — Shishkina Maria story 1.doc

From us — free audio recording and your promotion on our platforms and social media.

2.2. Advertising on the site

We place banners on the site to promote your books and projects. The price depends on the placement: more visible spots cost more but provide maximum reach. We will select a position that fits your budget and goals.

For exclusive authors, 2 banners per month and priority placement are available.

For non-exclusive authors — 1 banner per month.

2.3. Radio

Use our online radio broadcast as an advertising platform to promote your books. Post announcements, excerpts, and interviews — bring your new releases to an audience that is already accustomed to audio content. This allows us to flexibly adapt promotion for each platform and present the book in the most favorable light. We will select the format and release schedule according to your goals.

This is a completely free option.

2.4. Podcasts

Decide for yourself how to reveal your story: in your own podcast or as part of general projects. We provide the platform, tools, and support — all that's left is your voice and ideas. Promote yourself on our site completely for free.

3. Terms of online promotion

We publish announcements of your books on the portal's social networks, TikTok, and YouTube so that readers all over the world can learn about you. This is a simple way to gain additional reach and bring readers to your page.

3.1. Promotion on the portal's social networks, TikTok, YouTube

Our social networks, TikTok, and YouTube are not just platforms, but a gateway to a global audience. Millions of readers and viewers from different countries can see your book. We help authors make a name for themselves globally — without borders or unnecessary costs.

We will need materials from you for the announcements: quotes, covers, photos, short videos, or audio. We will package them so that the story hooks the reader and resonates with audiences worldwide. This is your chance for wow-worthy reach and a new international audience.

4. Additional opportunities

Here you will find tools that expand the boundaries of your creativity and help you earn more. Here we offer the creation of comics, audiobooks, and plays, original music, translations into other languages, merchandise, and even branding development. All of this helps your stories sound louder, look brighter, and find new readers — in Russia and abroad.

4.1. Comic book

We will create a comic book based on your book or idea—drawn by a professional artist. Furthermore, we can create something exclusive: voice over the comic or bring characters and entire pages to life. This is a new format that captures both readers and viewers, resulting in more reach and higher engagement. Working terms will be discussed individually. For exclusive authors, we will draw, voice over, and animate the comic for free; for non-exclusive authors, the price is negotiable.

4.2. Audio Content (Audiobooks and Audio Plays)

We offer three voice-over formats for any task and budget:

Single-voice narration — clean, expressive reading by one actor: ideal for audiobooks and calm narratives.

Dual-voice (male + female) — natural delivery of dialogues: male and female voices bring out characters and make the text more dynamic.

Audio play — a full-scale sound production with multiple voices, sound effects, and musical scoring: maximum immersion for the listener.

We will help you choose the optimal format and adapt your text for audio.

We are prepared to record your work for free. In this case, the recording is hosted exclusively on our website. If you wish to take the recording and host it outside of our platform, you will pay 50% of our recording studio's production costs.

4.3. Scriptwriting for Audio

Scriptwriting for audio: you can prepare it yourself or entrust its development to our portal’s editorial team. We will help adapt your text for the audio format so that it sounds natural and engages the listener.

Service cost:

Exclusive author: 500 rubles per 1 author's sheet.

Non-exclusive author: 800 rubles per 1 author's sheet.

Alternatively, request our guide on how to create a script. We have made it as clear and accessible as possible. Even a school student can handle this task.

4.4. Visual Identity Development

Visual identity — is the face of your author brand. It helps readers recognize you among thousands of other books, creates a cohesive impression, and makes your works more memorable. We create a set of visual elements that then work for you everywhere: from book covers to merchandise.

This includes a logo, brand colors, fonts, graphic patterns, and other elements.

Where it can be used: on book covers, on packaging and merchandise, in social media design (headers, posts, stories), in promotional materials and announcements, on websites and in applications, and in presentations and promo videos.

Developed identity elements can be registered to protect your author brand. We will assist with the paperwork and advise you on how to do it correctly.

Contact us, and we will discuss your goals, genre, audience, and preferences. We will propose a concept, timeline, and cost—all tailored to ensure the result reflects your unique creative signature.

4.5. Merchandise (we offer over 12,000 product items for any project and budget)

Merchandise — is additional income from your own readers and free advertising for your books. You can launch without any investment and sell through ready-made platforms. Our website and Ozon provide additional traffic that you do not need to build from scratch.

If you are an exclusive author, we take care of all work on a turnkey basis, from creating the layout to producing the merchandise, as well as its delivery and sale. The author also has the option to buy out the entire print run. Upon request, we will provide all necessary files for you to order products yourself. When selling through the company's platforms (our website and Ozon), the author receives 50% of the profit.

If you are a non-exclusive author, merchandise production is at your own expense. All details — types of work, timelines, costs, and shipping — are agreed upon individually. When sold through the company's platforms (our website and Ozon), the author receives 50% of the profit.

4.6. Creation of original music, poetry, or songs

Original music or poetry is a way to make a project stand out and hook the audience: a song can become a soundtrack for a book, a promotional video, or a special project. We will create everything from scratch based on your vision. We will agree on the price and deadlines personally to ensure the result meets your expectations and budget.

4.7. Translation into Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, French, and other languages

Do you want your story to be read by more than just Russian speakers? We open up access to new audiences by translating into popular languages: Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, French, and others. Translation is more than just words: we select professionals who understand the genre and know how to convey the author's style. This ensures your book sounds natural to a new audience. We calculate the cost and timelines personally based on the volume and complexity of the text.

4.8. Opportunity to publish books in Russia and China

Commercially successful books may be considered by publishers in Russia and China that collaborate with our company and published in Russian and Chinese. Should there be commercial interest from the platform owner and other stakeholders, all terms of cooperation will be discussed additionally. We have much to offer you.

5. Protection of rights

Pirates are a headache for any author. We are ready to take on this fight if you are our exclusive author and your work has been deposited.

5.1. Protection against pirates through work deposition

To enable the "Turnkey Protection" service, a confirmed deposition of the work is required, which allows us to act on your behalf and pursue the removal of pirated copies.

Deposition — an official confirmation of your rights to a work. It provides the legal basis for further action.

Important! Copyright arises automatically at the moment a work is created, but deposition is a way to prove that right in the event of a conflict. Without it, proving authorship can be difficult, especially if the work has already been stolen and published under someone else's name.

How does it work? Three simple steps:

Step 1. You submit the work to a specialized organization or service (for example, through a notary, online deposition services, or authors' societies; you can find them yourself or ask us for a recommendation or this service). They record: who the author is, what the work is, and when it was submitted.

Step 2. You receive a certificate or confirmation of deposition. This confirmation gives you a legal advantage: if someone uses your text illegally, you can prove that it existed with you first and belongs to you.

Step 3. You then provide us with the deposition confirmation. We launch our turnkey protection: we locate pirated copies, ensure their removal from platforms, and provide legal support.

This procedure makes the protection of your books real and legally grounded.

If we come up with anything else useful and cool for authors, we will let you know. In the meantime, that is all. We hope this information was useful to you.
