How to Distribute Your Book
How to Self Publish Your Book Successfully
Want to share your story with readers worldwide? Distributing your book connects your work with global audiences, whether in print or digital formats. Follow these 7 essential steps to streamline the book distribution process and increase your reach:
- Choose Your Distribution Channels
Decide where you want your book to be available, such as global retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and IngramSpark, or niche platforms like Smashwords or Kobo. Consider regional bookstores or libraries to widen your reach and make your book accessible to a broader audience.
- Prepare Your Book Formats
Ensure your book is ready for all channels with the correct formats:
- Print-ready PDFs for physical copies, ensuring proper bleed margins and trim sizes.
- EPUB or MOBI files for eBooks, which are accepted by platforms like Amazon KDP and Apple Books.
- Audio files (MP3, WAV) for audiobooks, with clear audio quality requirements (e.g., bit rate, sample rate).
- Optimize Your Metadata
Make it easy for readers to find your book with optimized metadata. Ensure you have:
- A keyword-rich title and subtitle to improve searchability.
- An engaging book description with the right keywords and targeted audience.
- Proper genre categorization to ensure your book is discovered by the right readers on platforms like Amazon and Google Books.
- Set Competitive Pricing
Research similar titles to determine a competitive price point. Consider offering promotional pricing or discounts at launch to attract readers and build momentum. - Register Your ISBN
To track your book globally, register for an ISBN through Bowker. You’ll need a separate ISBN for each format (eBook, paperback, audiobook) to ensure proper identification and tracking across platforms. - Upload Your Book and Distribute
Submit your book to the selected platforms, ensuring all details—cover design, formatting, and metadata—are perfect. A polished submission helps ensure smooth distribution and broad availability. - Track Sales and Optimize
Use analytics tools to monitor your sales, track reader demographics, and gather feedback. Regularly review your performance and adjust your distribution or book marketing strategy to maximize visibility and reach.
