I’m curious how this would work with print books, not only e-book format? See the question above, so I thought I’d ask too. If I’m thinking about it I have to assume others are too.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

I’m keen to get off Amazon, and as your article pointed out, there are very real upsides. Instead of trying to get to the top of the listings on Amazon which can be hit and miss, I’d rather build a reader list, and use advertising.

Joanna Penn (The creative penn) talked about direct selling months ago. She mentioned Payhip.

While we are on the topic, I think you should add Payhip and Gumroad to this post. Both are great tools for selling ebooks, and either one would be much more useful than WooCommerce or WPForms.

And if it’s not inappropriate, I also have a recent post on this topic. Mine is simpler and more straightforward, and focuses on building your first ebookstore on an author website:

Great article! I would like to know how to sell Paperbacks, spiral bound and hardcover books from my website, using a POD model. I am currently using Woocommerce, and dropshipping the books myself. However, I want to scale to more books and have a POD company print and ship to my customers directly on my behalf. Can you write about this? Thank you
