Votes are cast with money as pre-orders, readers end up subsidizing their production costs. This greatly reduces their risk profile, meaning if a book doesn’t sell, the worst they can do is break even. Inkshares probes for hits without losing money. And it’s because of this model that they can pay authors 50% of gross revenue for print sales and 70% for ebook sales.
