Welcome to the Children’s Book Marketing Podcast, where we dive into the world of marketing and promotion for children’s books. In Season 2, Episode 19, come with me as I experiment with listing with a book aggregator and find out what costly lesson I learned in the process.
Want your children’s books available all over the world? Then, list your children’s books with a book aggregator, but if you want to make sure you’re maximizing your profitability then perhaps you should consider other avenues.
There is a balanced perspective into the benefits and drawbacks of working with a book aggregator. From understanding the distribution process to exploring the impact on profit margins, I break down the key considerations for you to make along with the nuances of listing books with a book aggregator. If you’re a children’s book author exploring the world of book sales and distribution, this episode is a must-listen. Stay tuned to gain valuable insights that will shape your marketing strategy.
