But then, many people are still unsure about OkadaBooks and how we operate. In this article, we address some common misconceptions about OkadaBooks, and of course, the facts.

Although most of the bestselling books on our platform are romance fiction (because people love to love), we allow practically any genre from faith-based pieces to romance.

I have few questions. I’m damn new. My pen names are Martyrs Borgani and Martyrs Step-along. I’m still the author,just that step-along is my old pen name, Borgani is just my new pen name. My damn questions goes
1) if I have millions of people buy my novels, how will I get paid? Every month, every week?
2) how will I get my payment? Through my Nigeria back account or Payoneer account?
3) Does authors been paid specifically? Like every week they’ll pay authors 6k or if the author made about 200k, after taking off 70 something%,the rest will be shoved into the author’s account?
Hi Martrys,
Thank you for reaching out. I address your questions below:
1. When you sign up and publish your book(s) via publish.okadabooks.com, there’s an option to request payout of your earnings right there on the dashboard. You can request payout at anytime once you have a minimum balance of 5,000NGN.
2. Your Nigeria bank account works fine.
3. The sharing formula at OkadaBooks is 70:30. You keep 70% of your earnings on every copy of your book sold, while we keep 30%. You can request payout at anytime.
A hypothetical: if you earned 200k within the space of 3 days, you can request to be paid the whole 200k and it’ll be processed and paid to your Nigeria bank account within the space of 7 to 14 days.
I hope you find this helpful.
