I need information on publishing a book I wrote and selling it online at a website that I own?

Question

What are the steps I need to take? What would I need to set up a website and a commerce program to receive payments? How do I make this all happen? How do I purchase a website? How do I get my book published? All Information will be aprpeciated! Thanks

Answer 1

Assuming the book is written, and copyright has been obtained, then you need to do the following
1. Contact your ISP about obtaining a domain name
2. Advertise on the page.
3. For payment purposes, set up a paypal account....or get a post office box and have people send cheques there.

I have written a couple of books as well, and sold them online. I used other people's websites as a conduit for sales and rather than deal with online payment systems, I received cheques, and once the cheque cleared, I sent them the book. Most of the people who bought the first book, also bought the 2nd book.

(All printing and binding was done by me)

Answer 2

How is your book's progress so far? Have you started writing it? Many authors sometimes ran into a stump after finishing their book which is very likely to happen and your query signifies how determined you are to give your book a publishing future even when you are not done with it yet. KUDOS to you. By having all this equipment (i.e. information regarding publishing your book, etc), you are going to be ready by the time your book will be done. I wish you luck! I hope I can help.

Post the first chapter and the full table of contents. Then go to all the social networking sites you can find and find readers who will help you spread the word in their circle of influence with regard to your topic and target audience.
