What does it mean to use some of your unpaid royalties to get a service (like a Shelf advertising spot or TranslateAI) on Leanpub?

What is Leanpub's royalty rate? Are there any restrictions on where I can self-publish my book, and what price I can charge?

I've signed up for the Weekly Sale Newsletter and the Monthly Sale Newsletter, but I'm not seeing books and courses on the topics I'm interested in. What can I do?

Will I get an email from Leanpub when you send me a royalty payment via PayPal?
