# How It Works

## Your Online Homebase

Bindery is the hub of your bookish universe: link in bio, social embeds and exclusive content connected to your curated bookshelf, and a community you own.

## Your Interactive Bookshelf

As readers’ TBR piles grow, you earn 100% of affiliate revenue from all purchases made from your shelf.

## Your Book Club Hangout

With special benefits for Bindery members and seamless Discord integration, these dynamic spaces spark authentic interactions that foster true community.

## Your Direct Channel

Bindery offers the option to add paid membership tiers and you keep 75% of all revenue. Your biggest fans support you directly, so you have the creative freedom to do more of what you love and less of what you don’t.

## Your Own Imprint

Tastemakers with thriving communities have the opportunity to launch a branded imprint* fully supported by Bindery’s in-house publishing team. A significant royalty share reflects your essential role in the discovery and promotion of great books.
