* Sell Your EBooks Wide (A Book Bundle)

$47.00

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICING UNTIL MARCH 24TH

***** THIS LISTING IS FOR THE DIGITAL (EBOOK) VERSION OF THESE BOOKS *****

This is the ebook version of 7 books from the Book Sales Supercharged series that are specifically related to getting your book selling at all the major ebook retailers (a.k.a. “selling wide”).

How It Works: Although many of the books in the series are currently in pre-order, you will be charged immediately for the bundle and will receive each book on its release date via email (distributed via Bookfunnel).

I don’t have exact dates planned for each book in this series at this time. I expect the first sixteen books of the series (which includes these seven) to be released before March 2022, but I’m not sure how quickly they will be released. I expect them to be released unevenly as well, with a gap of a couple months then 2-3 in short succession.

I also don’t expect the books to become available in order necessarily; the books are numbered mostly because retailers prefer that, but I’ll likely be releasing the books as completed.

The tentative/estimated release schedule is as follows:

  • Get Your Book Selling WideMay 14, 2021
  • Get Your Book Selling on Apple Books – TBA but by March 2022
  • Get Your Book Selling on Amazon – TBA but by March 2022
  • Get Your Book Selling on Kobo – TBA but by March 2022
  • Get Your Book Selling on Google Play Books – TBA but by March 2022
  • Get Your Book Selling on Barnes and Noble – TBA but by March 2022
  • Get Your Book Selling on Your Website – TBA but by March 2022

Offer: 7 books in the Book Sales Supercharged series in ebook/digital format (delivered via Bookfunnel). Using BookFunnel, you can easily access this book on any major ebook reader including Kindle, Apple Books, Google Books, Nook, and Kobo.

Delivery: All ebooks will be delivered via Bookfunnel.

Terms: All sales are final. If one of the books is not or cannot be delivered, you will receive a refund of $7.83 ($47/6) per book not delivered. (If you order at a discount, the math is based on what you paid.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the books for?

Beginners, KU authors, anyone curious but not published wide yet – If you’ve never published your books wide, these books will help you get set up for marketing success! That said, the books do not go into great detail or hand-holding around the technical step-by-step of how to get a book on any of these retailers. I recommend the books + a community Facebook group called Wide For the Win. Wide For the Win has a Tree of Knowledge that answers a lot of the basic questions to get you started.

Intermediate to Advanced authors – If you’ve mostly just gotten your books published on these platforms but not paid much attention otherwise, this training is perfect for you and you are in the sweet spot for it.

Expert authors – If you are already doing very well wide then you likely know somewhere around 60-90% of what I’m sharing in these books. It’s up to you if you think the topics would be useful to you.

Will you be sharing any “secret” information from various retailer reps?

I do not have an inside track at any retailer through previous employment, connections, or any other means. The only thing I would share from a retailer are things that they openly share with anyone through presentations and conversations, or things that are easily observable by using their retailer website, backend direct upload, or apps (if they have them). I may also share information that I’ve found publicly available through old news articles or a website search.

How do pre-orders work through your website?

While I have attached a delivery date to each of these pre-orders, the dates are a rough estimate and subject to change. If I get a book done early I send it out then, and if it’s late I try to provide an update and a new expected date.

Your card is charged immediately upon purchase through my website and the books will be delivered one at a time around their estimated delivery date through Bookfunnel, which is an app that helps you get books you download onto your ideal reading device easily.

If for some reason I have to cancel a book or push out the release date beyond a year of purchase, I will offer and/or you can request a refund for that book via team@theworldneedsyourbook.com. The refund per book is $47/6 books which is $7.83 USD. (If you order at a discount, the math is based on what you paid.)
