@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art Earlier this year I set up as a small press, and I collected my thoughts on what I had learned in this blog article. It should give you pointers on setting up your own book-selling website, and once you do you need to figure out how to drive traffic to that site. https://www.dilmandila.com/cheap-and-easy-online-bookstore-with-wordpress-plugins/ @galacticwriters@fedigroups.social @bookstodon@fedigroups.social @joinin@fedigroups.social @writingbooks@fedigroups.social

@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art I’ve been happy with Payhip personally, I can sell both digital downloads and also physical copies.

@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art @galacticwriters@fedigroups.social @bookstodon@fedigroups.social @joinin@fedigroups.social @writingbooks@fedigroups.social I think you can sell via Patreon (ie, you can offer a book to buy as a download, not just a subscription), but I haven't looked into it yet. That's also not exactly direct, so Patreon would also take a cut...

@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art @galacticwriters@fedigroups.social @bookstodon@fedigroups.social @joinin@fedigroups.social @writingbooks@fedigroups.social Getting ranted at on prime time TV etc by any famous fascist or dictator? I read that RNLI subs are up. Or a very published ban somewhere for no good reason: "The Streisand effect". Or a high profile wrongful arrest (though I don't want the extra sales from being tortured or killed).. Sales were good 10 years ago. Died in 2024.

@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art @galacticwriters@fedigroups.social @bookstodon@fedigroups.social @joinin@fedigroups.social @writingbooks@fedigroups.social I have a Buy Direct option on my website through Payhip & Bookfunnel. It's gotten good sales, though not steady. I think a lot of readers are still locked into their particular ereader and vendor. I even offer $1 discount if people buy direct.

@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art @galacticwriters@fedigroups.social @bookstodon@fedigroups.social @joinin@fedigroups.social @writingbooks@fedigroups.social i sell ebooks through Wordpress / Woocommerce and it is fairly straightforward. that said, all the traffic goes to Amazon (not even Kobo) and i don't get much in sales elsewhere.
