You know, it's on Amazon.

Amazon takes her little piece for their marketing and there's a cost to print the book.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

If I sell it at the back of one of my speeches or something, then I make about $14 or so on it.

if amazon i got my stories confused amazon when they sell a book i make seven dollars and when i sell it myself there's about a four dollar cost so i make the uh the difference on that cost okay i'm not following on the amazon model how you're making money so let's walk down 18 bucks is what it's listed for on amazon you said you make seven dollars on that so there's eleven dollars of cost in there how is that eleven dollars of cost split up
