How do authors earn from ad revenue?Authors get a portion of the ad revenue from the website which is based on the number of words published and the exclusivity of their content as opposed to the percentage of views they bring to the website and app. - What this means is that even if an author gets NO VIEWS or reads on their content, they are still eligible for a portion of the income earned by the website in the form of a percentage of ad revenue. - The more published content an author has the higher percentage of the ad revenue from the website and app they will receive. - Exclusive content gets a higher percentage than non-exclusive content. - This means that an exclusively published author with fewer published words or content may receive as much or more ad revenue as an author who is published non-exclusively but has more published content on Warlocks In Space website and app. - While this may seem unfair, the entire point of Warlocks In Space Publishing is to help authors earn from the very start of their careers. - Like other webbook publishers, we do offer a popularity bonus to make up for the fact that subscription and ad revenue are shared based on word count and not on views.
-
How old do I need to be to publish my content on Warlocks In Space?Considering that The Head Warlock was only 17 when he started Warlocks In Space Publishing, it would be kind of hypocritical of him to limit content creators by age. We do not have a minimum age to publish requirement. However, we do require that individuals under the age of 18 (unless they are emancipated minors) have the permission of a parent or legal guardian for any content they publish and any revenue-sharing agreements on the minor's content must be approved by the legal guardian.
-
What kind of merchandising will you make/sell for my content? Do I get a say in it?We work very closely with our creators to help find the merchandising options that work best for their content. The type of merchandise may (and likely will) vary by source material. If a creator has a specific idea they have in mind, share it with your publisher to see if it is feasible at this time.
-
What countries can creators earn from?Any country that accepts PayPal, Stripe, or Wise Bank international transfers.

What is the royalty break down for creators and authors?Writers and content creators receive 80% of royalties for exclusive stories and content, and 75% royalties for non-exclusive stories and content. Ways that content is monetized on Warlocks In Space Completed eBooks, Audiobooks, and Video Series - Creators, authors, and narrators receive 80% or 75% of the royalties for a book or series. How that percentage is distributed out among them depends on what format is purchased. (Writers get a full 80% of the royalties for eBooks. Narrators receive 50% of the royalties for audiobooks while authors receive only 30%. For video content the royalty split will depend on how many people contributed and what part they played in the creation of the content. All individuals receiving income for exclusive WISP content would ideally have accounts with WISP so that their earnings can be appropriately distributed.) Per chapter and episode monetization - Customers who don't want a subscription, can pay to unlock one chapter or episode of content at a time. Unlocks can be paid for with currency, rewarded ads, or reward points. (Creators and authors receive 80% royalties for exclusive content and 75% royalties for non-exclusive content.) Subscriptions - While our company is still young, subscriptions are for all content site-wide including eBooks by the chapter, audiobooks by the chapter, video content, and courses. In the future, subscribers will be able to subscribe to only the genre, creator, series, or content format of their choice. (75% of all subscription income is split among our writers and content creators. The split is determined by the amount of content a creator or author has on the site, and whether that content is exclusive, non-exclusive, or a derivative work of other content published on WISP. For example, exclusive content would get a higher percentage of the pot per episode or chapter than non-exclusive content. Content that is a derivative of exclusive WISP content would get a higher percentage of the pot than derivative works of content that was not exclusive.) Popularity Bonus - This bonus takes in customer interaction factors for all content types that a creator has participated in creating and all content they have created. Views, likes, follows, purchases both digital and physical, merchandise purchases, comments, shares, subscriber views/ listens/ reads (Yes, reading/ listening/ watching with a subscription counts towards the popularity bonus, join the WISP creator exchange group to collaboratively boost your popularity) all are considered when determining bonuses. Merchandizing - All exclusive content can be monetized with merchandise that Warlocks in Space will provide and sell on our website, on Amazon, and various other online outlets with Print On Demand and other forms of merchandise. Royalties are 80% of profits for creators that hold copyrights. If more than one creator is a copyright holder for an image or idea, the 80% of profits will be split among them accordingly. Physical Products - Hardcover and paperback books, audiobooks on CD, Video on DVD or Blu-ray. Affiliate Sales - While every WISP member gets their own affiliate link. Creators and Authors registered with WISP get links with a higher affiliate percentage. This link is included with every page of content an author or creator publishes on the WISP website and app so that if that content leads to new subscribers, the affiliate income goes to the creator or author as long as there isn't another active affiliate link that led the customer to the content. Creators and authors can also advertise their content and merchandise with their exclusive affiliate links earning a 5% affiliate income on top of the 75% to 80% royalties they already receive.
