How to Get Your Book Listed on Amazon.com
The question of the day is how to get Amazon.com to distribute your book. Frankly, I was glad that it was asked because it made me do a little research.
<b>If you self-publish</b> through <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=wzyv/lVRjQA&offerid=42348.10000005&type=3&subid=0">iUniverse.com,</a> they will automatically place it on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble for you, as well as a half a dozen other sites. They also have connections with the regular Barnes and Noble stores.
<b> If you go through a traditional publisher,</b> they will do the same, as well as pass it on to distributors.
<b> There are many online publishers and print on demand publishers that make you register on your own or charge you a ridiculous fee to do it for you.</b> In these cases, this is what you need to do to get listed:
1)<b> Get an ISBN number from <a href_"http://www.bowkerlink.com/corrections/common/home.asp">Bowker</a>,</b> if your print on demand publisher fails to provide you with one. The ISBN number is the way that online and offline publishers track down your book and order it.
2)<b> Once your book has an ISBN number and is actually available for order</b> you should <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/subst/partners/publishers/publishers.html/202-8115134-9903032">click here to be listed on Amazon.com </a>
3)To get listed on BarnesandNoble.com <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/help/pub_wewant_tosell.asp?userid=2XB4MRF6KI&sourceid=00404021849134690647&bfdate=01%2D10%2D2004+15%3A20%3A01&cds2Pid=946">click here</a>
4)Also, <b>if you have an ebook that you want to sell online</b> you can sell it for 80% commissions on <a href="http://www.digibuy.com">http://www.digibuy.com<;/a>
