Yes!
You can use unpaid Leanpub royalties to get various Leanpub services, like a Sponsored Spot in one of our email newsletters, or TranslateAI or our other author services.
And you can also use unpaid royalties to buy books and courses in the Leanpub store.
Using unpaid royalties on services to expand your audience and increase your books sales is a great way to potentially make your book into a profitably self-funding revenue source, essentially turning your book into its own business.
And it's a great way to feed your reading habit, and support your fellow Leanpub authors at the same time!
