When you’re selling your books “wide” you have to consider all the ways that readers can find you. Which means that you can also sell your books directly to your readers.
Here are some sites/platforms that you can use for direct sales include: Payhip, SendOwl, Shopify, and WooCommerce.
Some authors may want to sell directly from their site. In that case you’ll only need software for a cart and payment processing.
With sites like Payhip, you upload your files and they take care of the payment processing. Connect your Paypal account (or other payment processor) so that when sales are made the money goes right into your account. Payhip can be connected to Bookfunnel to deliver books and audio files.
You may also be able to sell your audio books using these platforms, as well. There are a lot of options!
Once you’ve set up your direct sales method, let your newsletter subscribers know they can purchase from your store. It’s much easier to set up direct sales these days. Selling direct doesn’t mean that you can’t have your book on sites like Amazon and B&N. It’s just one more way to connect with readers and sell more book
