Create An Online Bookstore on Your Website

3 min read

Here you are wanting to totally control your books and the income you receive from them. The best was to do that is to create your very own online bookstore on your website. Yes, you will need to create your own website and pay to have your own domain, hosting and the SSL certificate that tells Google your site is secure for financial transactions. If you look around for specials you might be able to get all three of these for around $50 to $200 for the first year. Of course you will need to renew every year and if you are making sales you can leave those funds in your account until you have the next year’s service saved.

You will need a credit card processing account with either Paypal and now you can even use your SquareUp account that you use when you go to those local author events. Both of these services will not charge you a monthly fee to process credit cards but will charge a small percentage of sales. Another great thing when you sign up for either or both of these services they will transfer your sales into your checking accounts or they can send you an ATM debit card to access your money. Since, Paypal still requires you to manually transfer your balances to your checking account this debit card is nice to have because you have immediate access to the funds. SquareUp will automatically transfer your funds from your account to your bank the next business day so I’m not sure why they are offering a debit card now. But is it there if you want it.

You can start off with a WordPress site for free. This allows you to utilize a great many other free tools including WooCommerce Shop plugin for free too. It is a fairly simple process to set up you just need an email address to start. We recommend that you create an email address strictly for your writing. You can still get free ones from Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, and Outlook. Once you have set up your new WordPress site, uploaded the WooCommerce plugin you are ready to begin creating your very own online book store. The great thing about Woo Commerce is that you can create both Paperback and eBook items for your readers to buy. You can also create blog posts every week and link them to automatically post to your Facebook Author Page, Twitter Account and even LinkedIn.

Once you have started inputting your products they will automatically be posted to your social media accounts at the time of creation. Once created you can copy and paste a link to one or more of your books directly in your posts as advertisement like the three ads above from our Etceteras Store ebook version of our book, SWCOnline Store (our crafts), and from our Etceteras Store (paper and hardback books and more). Remember once you have set up your store the paperback books will need to be mailed out in a timely manner and the program will keep track of your inventory and alert you when you will need to order more.
