Thanks. Do you have a video explaining how to flatten pictures and embed fonts? Also, do I need to pay for copyright on an alternative website before I upload everything to LuLu? Or will Lulu automatically provide me with proof of copyright once I've uploaded my book? Also...

I published a book on LuLu in DEC. 2021 I just took a look at it for the first time since last year and I've got about..... $12.50 and 11 sales in total, two of which were bulk purchases so they were cheaper for the customer but no reviews! I would love to get some reviews on my book and how I can make the next one better.

@thelifeofawriter 2 года назад

I ask for reviews when I ship the book out through my website.

@kaylenedawnbuteaufitnessbu2282 Год назад

Have you ever compared just printing it yourself, and selling on our own amazon seller account? I have a amazon book seller account where I sell used books, and I was thinking of doing that so everyone else doesn't get such a cut of my work. My only worry is that Amazon will deactivate my listings if I don't reduce my price to the others for sale. Even though my book will be set by me, I just wonder about the future.

@thelifeofawriter Год назад

No, I haven't compared the two. However, I have sold my own books through my seller account without an issue.

@deteneko6776 2 года назад

In the "Select a Goal" part where you click on "Print Your Book", will that also ask for your mailing address where you can receive your physical copy of your own written story? I've been looking for a useful website where I can possibly turn my current W.I.P. into an actual physical storybook. I'm also wondering how exactly typing in your story in this website works exactly in order to make your book.

Hey. Do you know what sizes they expect for global distribution? I have downloaded every guide possible. Every time I reach out to Lulu to ask for the sizes that qualify for global distribution, because I didn't see those specific sizes in any of the guides I downloaded, they just keep selling me links. They won't give me the sizes that qualify for global distribution. I keep telling them I downloaded every possible but they just keep sending me links.
