Kindle isn't the only e-book platform authors should be paying attention to. Kobo is an author-friendly e-book service that provides some really great perks if you choose to publish with them. In this video, Julie Broad of Book Launchers shares why indie authors should be paying attention to Kobo and even considering self-publishing their e-book on this platform.

This video couldn't have come at a better time (unless I had watched it when it first came out, which I should have). An author-friendly ebook service! Who knew? After being in an abusive relationship with Amazon KDP for the last two years, Kobo looks like the healthy relationship I need. Thanks, Julie. You have given me hope.

Great video Julie, thank you! As a Kobo user and Canadian, Kobo was on my radar from the beginning. I definitely appreciate it when authors make their books available there!

@BookLaunchers Год назад

Me too!! They have some great programs for authors to take advantage of as well.

Sooooo that is good BUT the benefits come in when you upload directly TO Kobo vs using the aggregator. I'm wide with D2D and I can't access the Kobo promotions dashboard because I didn't upload to Kobo.

You can get that at www.booklaunchers.com/7steps and if you’re ready to market a book our Gameplan for selling 1000 books with less than $100 is a great way to start planning your book marketing. You can download that for free at www.booklaunchers.com/gameplan Even better than all the above is my latest book => Self-Publish and Succeed books2read.com/ap/RDOjGr/Julie-Broad - that’s a really great starting point for any non-fiction author to start thinking through what you need to do to write a book that will sell.

They are no longer based in Canada but they originated there. Also iUniverse is one that a lot of authors have used to get into Chapters but I know a lot of folks that are really unhappy with them. You can get into Chapters through Ingram Spark.

Is it better to upload your book directly to kobo? Or through IngramSpark? My first book I did it through kobo’s author site, but with my most recent I went through Ingram. (Also, I’m having issues getting my book onto google’s ebook store. Can you make a video about them too?)

@BookLaunchers 2 года назад

Thanks so much for your questions. To take advantage of their programs I talk about you do have to upload direct to Kobo. Google is a place we haven't focused much. There were a lot of issues with them a few years ago (sounds like that might still be the case) so I am not sure I have much to offer there. I can check with my team to see what, if anything, we are currently doing with them.

They have a minimum threshold you need to earn before they pay out. Also, they do have their own help and support, and unlike Amazon they usually respond promptly. I would try reaching out from within your Kobo dashboard.
