Episode 139 – The Reality of Selling Your Books Directly

Hosted by: Craig Tuch and Roland Hulme

You might have heard influential figures in self-publishing declare that Direct Sales are “the next big trend” – but is selling your ebooks directly to your readers really a better option than using a tried-and-tested platform like Amazon?

Today, Craig and Roland sit down to discuss exactly that, using Roland’s months of experience selling his books directly to provide a real-life example. They discuss the challenges of setting up an effective sales funnel, how much technical knowledge you’ll require, the difficulty of turning a profit, and they weigh the pros and cons against more traditional self-publishing options like Amazon.

One thing’s for sure: Direct sales isn’t for everybody. However, you’ll be in a good position to consider that option after listening to this discussion, and have a good place to start planning out your own direct sales system.
