Today in the Issues Room, @Delaine Maxwell asked some great questions about publishing and selling a book and it sparked a really useful conversation worth sharing with everyone. Here’s the core takeaway: You do not need a full website to sell. You just need a clear point of sale and one easy link you can share confidently. Start Simple: What You Actually Need If you’re: - publishing your first book - testing demand - or just wanting people to buy the book You do not need: ❌ a big website ❌ complex funnels ❌ multiple pages and tools You just need: ✅ a POS (point of sale) ✅ a URL you can share anywhere The Simplest Option (and totally valid) 👉 Publish on Amazon (KDP) 👉 Share your Amazon book link. That’s it. Many authors do only this and it works. A great example from our community is @Dawn Kristy has her books listed directly on Amazon, she also has a website because she runs a full business and sells multiple books. Both ways are valid. The key question is 👇 What are you trying to build right now? If You Want a Simple Online Presence: If you want one clean page to support your book (without building a full site): ✨ Take a look at Carrd: - Simple - Fully responsive - One-page only - ~$19/year - Can connect to your own domain So the recommended setup would be: - Publish book on Amazon - Promote the Amazon link - Create a Carrd page that links to the book on Amazon if you want the pretty front end. Publishing Tips (Don’t Skip These) When publishing via Amazon KDP: - Download the Kindle cover template - Design your cover in Canva - Upload to the Kindle portal carefully - Order an author proof copy before launch (Always check the physical version!) You can also: - Order a box of author copies - Gift copies to libraries, editors, supporters, friends & family, relevant local businesses Distribution & Launch Still Matter Selling a book isn’t just about uploading it.
