Step 1: Search for an Compatible eCommerce Platform
Start by finding an e-commerce platform that allows sales of ebooks. There are a few things you should think about when choosing a platform to sell your book
- Physical and digital product sales: Do you hope to also market your book as a printed copy some day? Perhaps you are interested in launching your own writing class? Rather than starting over with a new e-commerce platform choose one that can support selling digital goods and online course sales and physical product sales, and all on one platform, as does.
- Automated ebook delivery: Once customers buy your book you sell, they'll probably be eager to begin reading it immediately. Rather than manually sending each person who reads your book, search for an online platform that offers automatic delivery. This feature offers less work on your part and greater ease for your customers.
- No transaction fees Fees on transactions as well as unnecessary charges are all designed to tax authors' success. The best way to maximize the value of every sale when you find an online platform that does not charge charges.
Once you partner with an online store that's suitable for your book, you can start building the sales page.
