Hi Rich. I am based in the UK and I haven't got US tax pay details. The apple doesn't proceed with my publishing. Any idea what should I do?

@RDRMuzix 2 года назад

Hi Rich, It's the first time that I have actually downloaded one of these links, despite watching hundreds of videos on writing and publishing. Thanks for the prompt response, and for all the info you emailed subsequently. It's very kind and generous of you. I appreciate it.

@mymixchannel369 Год назад

One other question, in the start of the video you said there is not physical publishing on apple book yet and in the mostly very end showed prices about physical and ebook prices I got confused, is there way to publish in physical book on I-book or no. Thank you 🙏

@tommoran236 Год назад

I have an idea for a short book. How to get a job at a certain government bureau. I think it might be perhaps 10 - 20 pages long. Is a short book like this something I could put up on Apple Books? Or even with Amazon, etc.? Many thanks.

@VIVEKKUMAR-fx2rz 2 года назад

Do you publish books also. I have the manuscript the handwritten one, would you like to publish it.

@mymixchannel369 Год назад

I did my agreements and it asks for tax and stuffs and there is the form W-9 I’ve never heard that could someone explain how that w-9 works please 🙏 W-2 is the regular one mostly people get, 1099 is for freelancers but what is W-9 ? ☺️

Hi Rich, If I wanted to publish a book and price it FREE, PERMANENTLY, can I do that on Apple Books? If so, how? Thanks.

@hipharpist Месяц назад

Hello, I have a problem that my Apple ID is not connection to itunes because of credit card info, which I registered as none on my Apple ID. How to resolve this?

@sarahharperwriting Месяц назад

Thank you for this! I am yet to go through it all but this will be very helpful. Your top 5 - is that worldwide based or US only based re most customers? Thanks

@sy-jt3cp 4 месяца назад

thank you! this was really helpful because itunes connect is surprisingly antiquated compared to google play and even amazon from a user interface standpoint. i know it's a personal preference, but do you have any thoughts or an an opinion on whether to select DRM for an ebook and if i am making it available in all countries?

**HI RICH!!!** I published my book on Apple but I didn't upload a sample file. Now the only thing that can be seen on the site is a blank page, the title page, and only the first illustration. Can I go back and upload a sample file without having to reload my manuscript?

Hi Rich, I'm in Spain and so far I haven't been able to find the routing number for my bank. Online the advice is to look at a cheque, where it can be seen beside the account number, but I haven't used cheques in ages and don't have a cheque book. I'll be consulting my bank as soon as I can and will then leave a comment.

@dominicoguguo8197 3 месяца назад

thanks for the info.

@Griddiho Год назад

Rich, these videos have been a terrific help. Thank you. My experience with Apple was a little different in some details compared to your video, especially re the tax and legal entity parts. Have things changed recently?

Does the APPLE BOOK has the option for lending ebook ? Or the custumer could read my book by just paying a monthly subsription, etc. and not by buying my book ? Thanks

@inspirestitch9594 2 года назад

@booksfortheblind5414 2 года назад

Hi Rich, i'd like to know if it is possible to publish on Apple using a non-Apple device like for example an android or PC. The reason i'm asking this is because I coudn't find the answer anywherelse. Thanks.

@geefim2144 Год назад

When I get to the apply countries or regions in the rights and pricing page I click continue but then it says we can’t process your request. Any idea ? Frustrating

Hi Rich- can I publish a PDF without converting it to EPUB in Apple Books? For some reason when I try to bring it into Pages, the file is dark and not clickable.

@josuebenitezworld 2 года назад

Hi Rich! Great info … Question: Is needed to publish an e-book a ISDN number?

@blazevich 2 года назад

You don’t need an ISBN to publish an ebook on Apple Books. Some publishing platforms require ISBNs, but Apple Books does not.

@josuebenitezworld 2 года назад

@@blazevich Thank you for the info.

@azeezbello9694 Год назад

This is a great presentation. I love it. It is clear very explanatory and a good resource for a beginner like me.

@VeganGaymer 2 года назад

Hi, Rich! I wanted to know if there is a way to create promo codes so that certain customers can have a discounted price on a Apple book? I also wanted to know if there was a way to send a code to make our Apple ebook free in order that certain reviewers get the book at not cost and review it on their website or RU-vid channel for example?

Hi Rich, I found this a very useful video, thank you. I have a question. When publishing an Apple Book, is there a way of creating split payments for the commission for other contributors of the book?

@mymixchannel369 Год назад

Hi sorry I’m doing my agreements in banking section it asking my home address and zip code and something like that is that correct? I mean it should ask that things? Because I’m video Rich just said account number and routing number sections but when I scroll down I saw questions about home address and zip code or what account is my bank
