hey what's up guys from Brit Co van
Marciano here from magnet for blogging
net hi Darren welcome to episode 18 of
the vlog cast and in this video guys I
want to share with you eight incredibly
useful platforms websites that you can
sign up to right now to start selling
your ebooks online so let's dive
straight onto the screen and check each
one of them out ok guys so the first
website that I like to recommend that
you check out to sell your ebooks on is
a website called pay hip comm now pay
hip is the site that I'm currently using
myself to host and sell my ebooks on the
site allows you to not only host your
ebooks but to also create promotional
campaigns using they're very useful
promo tools you can also create
affiliates and get other bloggers and
marketers to promote and sell your
ebooks for you
so that they can earn a small Commission
for themselves I should also add that
there are no setup fees no monthly fees
or even hosting fees to concern yourself
with using pay hip and the payment is
conveniently handled through PayPal and
the company takes only five percent
commission on each ebook sale that you
make another big plus point with using
pay hip guys is that they also report
and pay EUV eighty on your behalf so I
would highly recommend that you check
out pay hip comm to sell your ebooks on
okay so number two on my list guys is
sells dot-com SEL z.com
you may or may not have come across this
one before I've never personally used
sales to sell ebooks on however I have
purchased mini ebooks through the
platform before in the past a couple of
my friends do very very well on sells
calm I know that much sells is much more
than just a place to host and sell your
ebooks on the site provides authors with
a complete ecommerce solution plus
marketing tools and resources monthly
fees start from just $70 per month for a
light plan and there's also a standard
and pro plan to choose from in addition
the company takes a 2% transaction fee
as well as a small
sfe so--that's sells calm worth checking
out guys number three on my list guys is
fiber comm now I'm sure you've come
across this one before fiber is probably
one of the most popular places on the
web to sell any type of digital product
or service the site is a great platform
to launch your e-book on in fact I've
had some very very good sales selling my
ebooks on fiber in the past you can make
use of the built in tools and features
in fiber
you get a complete dashboard for
managing your customer communication
orders and sales the only annoying
problem that I found with using fiber is
that you have to manually email deliver
the ebooks yourself so each time you
make a sale you have to email the
product to the customer you also have to
maintain your profile so that your gigs
don't become deactivated after some time
so that means logging in every few weeks
or so to make sure that your gigs are or
active the fact that your digital
products aren't delivered automatically
when someone makes a purchase can be a
huge pain in the backside as an e-book
seller the other pitfall that I found
with selling ebooks on fibers that they
take a $1 transaction fee so if your
ebook is priced at five dollars for
example that's 20% Commission if you
don't think that's too bad if you
compare it with services like cells and
pay hip it's a considerable amount the
benefit of selling your ebooks on fiber
however is that the platform is a pretty
large place so you're essentially
leveraging the popularity of the website
to promote and sell your ebooks on even
though there might be a lot of
competition out there the site gets a
ton of traffic and you have every
opportunity to make a sale of your ebook
number four on my
this guy's is the Amazon Marketplace
Amazon Kindle direct publishing now
Amazon is probably the most popular
place on the web to sell your ebooks on
right now
now again I'm gonna be completely honest
I have never used the Amazon Marketplace
to sell anything myself I have purchased
a lot of e-books and books from Amazon
though one of my goals in 2018 is in
fact to write and sell in eBook on
Amazon I'll let you know if that
actually happens guys as an author you
can earn between 35% and 70 percent
royalty for your eBook sold on the
amazon platform depending on your
location and pricing structure I believe
because Amazon is such a massive an
extremely popular platform it's probably
the most likely place for blog writers
authors and entrepreneurs to want to
sell their ebooks on the site is also a
great place to get real verified sales
feedback for your ebooks guys so again a
big plus point if you wanna promote more
sales of your ebooks testimonials
feedbacks are essential number five on
my list guys is a website called fire
calm I think I'm pronouncing that right
Fei why are calm now again I've had no
experience with selling my ebooks on
fire calm I'm adding this platform to
the list as another option for you okay
so the company states that they've been
around since 2006 and from what I've
read through my own research and online
reviews and forums they're a great place
to self publish and distribute your
ebooks on registration is free however
there is a small account activation fee
around nine euros I think and there is
no monthly or yearly cost with fire calm
and you earn eighty percent commission
on sales of your ebooks which probably
means 20% goes to the website
number six on my list guys is a website
called blurb dot-com now blurb is a
pretty cool site where you can not only
sell and distribute your ebooks on but
also actually create your ebooks to
start with it's a complete ebook
creation promotion and a selling
platform if you will your options are
that you can sell on their own platform
or the Amazon platform or Barnes and
Noble platform as well as share and sell
your ebooks on Apple iOS Amazon Kindle
and Android devices as well the site has
some really cool software features that
you can use to create and star your
ebooks before promoting it and selling
it to your target audience you can also
create high quality printed books and
magazines using blurb guys should you
wish to so check it out blurb com number
seven on my list guys is Google Play now
if you want to make your ebooks
available on the Android platform
there's no better place to start than
Google Play with over fifty billion
users you're bound to make a great
impact with your ebook there personally
I've never used the platform but it is
another option for you getting set up is
pretty simple you can just sign up
upload your content set your price and
begin promoting your ebook to the whole
world okay so the last website that I
want to recommend on my list guys is a
junkie this is where it all began for me
as an e-book author many many years ago
a junkie is the place to sell digital
downloads the platform keeps things very
very simple they don't charge you for
sales of your PDF ebooks you only need
to pay for a monthly fee for hosting
your ebooks and fees depend on how many
ebooks you want to host with a junkie
the platform's
offer a host of marketing tools guys
lots of options and features including
PDF stamping of your ebooks affiliate
tools sales reports and much more
so there you have it guys eight
wonderful websites for you to check out
to sell your ebooks online and whichever
one you decide to use or maybe you gonna
try out a couple I want to wish you the
very best of luck and success with it if
