How do I earn money from my books on ElevenReader?

There are two ways to earn from your books on ElevenReader

ElevenReader Ultra subscribers receive 20 hours of listening bundled into their subscription.

Books included in the Ultra subscription earn $0.20 per hour of verified listening streamed, with a cap of$ 2.50 per book.
Listening is calculated based on validated playback
Earnings accrue as subscribers engage with your content

This model rewards high quality content and sustained engagement.

You can list your books for direct purchase and choose how they’re made available:

Direct sale to all users (Free & Ultra)
All ElevenReader users purchase your book outright, and you earn a 60% revenue share on each sale.
Hybrid: Subscription + Direct Sale
Your book is bundled into the Ultra subscription for subscribers (earning engagement-based payouts), while free users can purchase the book directly. Simply opt-in to the subscription, while also setting a direct sale price to enable this option.

This flexibility allows you to balance reach, engagement, and upfront sales.
