Amazon KDP Question
Is it okay to publish ebooks with the Amazon ID number, or is it better to purchase standard ISBNs? Also, can you assign ISBNs for your print on demand books?

@Dom Anderson When you publish an ebook on Amazon through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), you don’t need to purchase an ISBN because Amazon assigns an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) to your ebook. Here are some key points to help you decide what’s best for your needs: Using Amazon’s ASIN for eBooks - Simplicity: If you’re publishing exclusively on Amazon, the ASIN is sufficient. It uniquely identifies your ebook within Amazon’s ecosystem. - Distribution: Since the ASIN is used only on Amazon, it won’t be recognized outside of their platform. This is usually fine if you’re not planning to distribute your ebook elsewhere. Purchasing Standard ISBNs - Wider Distribution: If you plan to sell your ebook on other platforms (Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc.) or want libraries and retailers worldwide to recognize your book, a standard ISBN is the way to go. - Professional Image: Having your own ISBN means that your book’s publishing information (including your publisher name) is displayed in global book databases. This can help with discoverability and establishing your brand as an author. - Control: When you purchase your own ISBN, you’re listed as the publisher. If you use a free ISBN provided by a service (like KDP Print), that service’s name will appear as the publisher in the ISBN record. Assigning ISBNs for Print-on-Demand (POD) Books - Amazon KDP Print: For print books, Amazon offers a free ISBN option, but you also have the option to use your own purchased ISBN if you want your own imprint to appear. - Other POD Services: Platforms like IngramSpark and others allow you to provide your own ISBN. Using your own ISBN across all formats (eBook, paperback, hardcover) can create a consistent identity for your book. In Summary - For eBooks: If you’re selling only on Amazon, using the ASIN is perfectly acceptable. However, if you want to market your ebook more broadly or maintain a consistent publisher identity, purchasing a standard ISBN is advisable. - For Print Books: You can use a free ISBN from the POD service if you’re okay with the publisher name appearing as that service’s imprint, or you can purchase your own ISBN to ensure your publishing imprint is used.

@Steven Cunningham The cost and process of obtaining an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) depend on your country. Here’s how you can get one: Where to Get an ISBN - United States: Bowker (myidentifiers.com) is the official agency. - United Kingdom: Nielsen (isbn.nielsenbook.co.uk). - Canada: Free via Library and Archives Canada (isbn.canada.ca). - Australia: Thorpe-Bowker (isbn.gov.au). - India: Raja Rammohun Roy National Agency (isbn.gov.in). - Other Countries: Each country has its own agency. You can check the full list at ISBN International. Cost of an ISBN Prices vary depending on location and the number of ISBNs purchased: - United States: $125 for one, $295 for 10, and bulk options go cheaper. - UK: £91 for one, £169 for 10. - Canada: Free. - Australia: AUD 44 for one, AUD 88 for 10. - India: Free, but application processing takes time.

Foolproof Way To Grow Your List in 4 Easy Steps📨📩💻
Yusef's shares his "High Value Content Strategy" which makes it easy to establish your authority and grow your list of potential buyers in 4 easy steps. Watch the video above to get the steps and here is a quick summary. 1. To build your email list effectively, start by creating a high-value content offer that solves a common problem your audience faces. Offer something valuable that people might usually pay for, but provide it for free. Package it in an easy-to-consume format like a free report, checklist, cheat sheet, video, audio, or webinar. To ensure your content is relevant, research trending topics and questions on AnswerThePublic.com, Quora, and search engines. Overdeliver on value so your audience stays engaged and sees you as a trusted resource. 2. Next, use a value-based marketing strategy to promote your free content rather than a paid product upfront. This approach builds trust and establishes your authority before making an offer. Focus on distributing your content through platforms like Facebook Ads, Google Ads, YouTube, or organic social media. By leading with value instead of sales, you create a natural way to attract and nurture new leads. 3. To capture attention, craft compelling headlines that spark curiosity. Use power words like Warning, Must Know, Exposed, Secrets, and Findings Revealed to draw people in. For example, a headline like “WARNING: Do NOT start an online business before reading this free report” or “This helped us sell over $1M in courses—grab the free checklist now” can significantly boost engagement. The goal is to make your free offer feel irresistible. Grow Your List in 4 Easy Steps
