Book Selling Platforms
This has been a really challenging affair. I was set on selling my books everywhere but there is one thing that holds me back slighty...sorry two things.
- Competition
- Royalties
Now remember, I am no expert, I am learning about self publishing through research and experience.
Maybe I am a bit of a maverick BUT hey...it's good fun!
At the moment I am building up my own selling platforms for full royalties (I will be paying sellers fees however and at some point in the next 30 days I will be number crunching for your perusal.)
My Business Selling Platforms
(Please note- You will have to be a business/sole trader and have a tax number for some of these and provide identification)
Blurb
Amazon (Through KDP)
Amazon Sales Pages
Ebay
Personal Website
Now this is not an end list...no... this is a starting point. I am still looking and learning, and I will update as I go along.
I will have physical books to sell on these sites, but I am only choosing KDP ebook and not paperback for my novel as the print cost for on demand is too much for how I want to price my book.
I have, however, put all my short stories on amazon through eBook and paperback and I am very happy with how they work.
Why have I started this way?
I have chose the above because I want to write and sell a range of my own books and I don't want them 'lost' in the competitive world of book selling sites. I have got to start as big as I can in my own brand to understand this works. In regards to royalties, I don't want to be creating a high book price so I can get bigger royalties.
No I want to get bigger profit by having lower royalities paid out, or better still...none at all.
So, lets see how this goes...
