I find Bookrix to be a good source for self-publishing.

About opening your own shop and selling your books:
I have seen lately people opening Etsy shops and selling their books.

The first time I saw it I was surprised since this used to be more of a crafters corner, but then I thought "it is actually a great idea" after all writers are crafters in their own art so why not!

I don't know if it would work well in the sense of selling much, but I have thought about it for some days, I saw this and thought on mentioning it.

The real ebook and paper book sellers list for free. About 99.9% of online sales.
Etsy charges "store" rent.

Yes (you do realize that we're necroposting here, Quoth, ça va?), that's true, but over at Etsy, they have a built-in crowd of people (if we're talking crafting books and the like) who are already interested in their topic(s). Knitting, making soaps, making perfumes, whatever.

I can see, were I a crafter (near beer!) with a specialty and a decent targeted book why I would consider Etsy. (Full disclosure: don't drink beer, don't knit, can't sew and any "crafty-ness" I have is the other kind spelt with an "i.")

Yes, though I was replying to the recent post.

Yes, but you need the weekly volume AND the niche book or the store rental will outweigh sales. Or very expensive physical books. It works just about for my daughter but she sells paintings at 100x to 800x the price of an ebook.

I did look at it and was surprised more than one off physical books even qualify, but I guess since Etsy gets the money every month they don't much care what's offered as long as it's not illegal.

Ravelery is THE place for selling actual knitting & crochet patterns. Etsy is more kitchy-niche.

Hi:

I don't disagree with you, really. I was simply...clarifying a skoosh. For that those that have never been on Etsy in their lives.

I don't have a clue what the store rental is. I buy a fair amount of cashmere, via Etsy (which I need like a hole in my damned head, given whereI live), and the occasional bit or bob, or so that's my familiarity.

Hey guys I'm new here i was wondering if anyone would be possibly interested in buying my book now available on amazon. Its a fantasy book [snip self-promotion outside self-promotion forum] and is about a father and his son who go on a quest to save their lands from an evil religious cult that threaten to take over the world.

npowt1, you are violating the forum's rules. As you are new, it will likely only get a warning. There is a subform here, where you are allowed to promote your book. It's the SELF-PROMOTION subforum: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=226 and you should go there.

And in the meantime, be prepared for the fact that a moderator is going to speak sternly to you.

Don't do it again. A repeat offence is likely to result in a ban for spamming.
