MindShift Books is a social reading and publishing ecosystem where people discover ideas, connect with creators, read books, and — eventually — publish and sell their own. It brings together three things: Read — articles, posts, free eBooks, and books on mindset, personal growth, money, productivity, relationships, wellness, career, and meaningful living; Connect — build a profile, follow authors, write your own articles and posts, like, comment, save, and grow an audience; and Publish (coming later) — creators will be able to publish their own eBooks, build an audience around their work, and sell directly to readers. You don't have to arrive with a book — you can start by simply reading, and see where it takes you.

No — reading articles and browsing the bookstore is open to everyone. You'll need a free account to write articles or posts, follow authors, save articles, build a profile, join the affiliate program, or buy a book.

Tap the menu and choose "Sign Up" or "Log In," or head straight to /signup. You can sign up with an email and password, or continue with your Google account — whichever's faster.

Yes, completely free. Creating an account, reading, writing, following authors, and joining the affiliate program never cost anything — the only thing you ever pay for is a book you choose to buy.

A Post is a quick text update with up to 5 photos — good for a thought or an update. An Article is a full write-up with its own cover image and category, meant for something more in-depth. Both show up on your profile and in your followers' feeds.

Tap "Create" in the menu (or on your profile) and choose Post or Article. You'll need to be signed in first — if you aren't, it'll prompt you to log in or create a free account.

Yes — visit an author's profile and tap Follow, and their new articles and posts will start showing up in your feed. The more you read and follow, the more your feed on the homepage gets tailored to what you're into.

Yes — tap the save icon on any article, then find everything you've saved under "Saved Articles" in the menu.

Go to My Profile from the menu and tap edit to update your photo, cover image, and bio. This is also where your articles, posts, and follower count live.

Open "My Insights" in the menu (or Profile Insights in Settings) to see how your profile is doing over time — views, follower growth, and how your articles are performing.

In Settings, tap "Share Profile" to copy your profile link — it points straight to your public page at /profile/@yourusername.

Head to the Bookstore and tap a cover to open its Book Details page, or hit "Add to Cart" directly. Open your cart and tap "Proceed to Payment" — checkout completes securely through Paystack.

Yes. Browsing the bookstore and reading previews never require one, but you'll need to sign in or create a free account before you can check out — that's what keeps your order history and download links in one place instead of tied to whatever email you happened to type in.

Whatever Paystack offers at checkout — card, bank transfer, USSD, and more, depending on what's available for your bank.

Yes. Payment is handled entirely by Paystack's secure checkout — we never see or store your card details.

Sign in and open Order History in Settings — everything tied to your account shows up there, no need to search by email.

Yes — every book in that order gets its own download link, both in your confirmation email and under Order History in Settings.

As soon as your payment is confirmed, we email your download link(s) to the address on your account — usually within a minute or two.

First, check your spam/junk or promotions folder — that's the most common cause. Still not there? Sign in and open Order History in Settings and your download link(s) will show up there. If your order still isn't showing, email us at contact@mindshiftbooks.shop with your order reference, or the email you used to pay, and we'll sort it out.

Yes — sign in and open Order History in Settings, and your past purchases (with download links) will be right there. If you bought before you had an account, signing up with the same email you paid with automatically links those past orders to your new account.

PDF — readable on your phone, tablet, or computer, no special app required.

Tap the heart icon on any book to save it to My Wishlist for later — it's just a shortlist, nothing is charged until you actually add a book to your cart and check out.

A rotating shelf of titles you can download at no cost, no payment step involved. Find them under Free eBooks in the menu.

It's a free way to earn money by recommending MindShift Books. You get a personal referral link to the whole catalog — share it anywhere (Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, a blog) — and you earn a commission on every book bought through it.

Tap "Become an Affiliate" in the menu or footer, or go straight to /affiliate and hit "Become an affiliate." Sign in (or create a free account) and your unique referral link is generated instantly — no application review, no minimum followers.

15% of the actual price paid on every book sold through your link — including if it sold at a discount. It's tracked and credited automatically, no codes to enter at checkout.

There's no deadline. Once someone clicks your link, your credit for them is remembered until they sign up — even weeks later — and it carries through even if they sign up with Google or Facebook instead of clicking straight through.

Payouts run automatically every Monday, straight to the bank account on your affiliate profile, once your available balance reaches the ₦5,000 minimum. Below that, your balance just keeps growing until it clears the threshold — no need to request anything.

Sign in and open your affiliate dashboard — it shows your link, clicks, sign-ups, books sold, and running balance in real time. Your bank details and payout history live under Payout.

Yes, from your payout page — unless you already have a payout queued for the coming Monday, in which case those details are locked until it's paid out, then editable again right away.

It's completely free, forever, and you don't need to have bought a book yourself to start recommending them.

Since each purchase unlocks an instant digital download, refund requests are reviewed case by case. Email us at contact@mindshiftbooks.shop with your order reference and what happened, and we'll take it from there.

Email contact@mindshiftbooks.shop, or tap "Contact Us" in the menu — we typically reply within a day.
