Self-Published Authors - Amazon eBook Section Added to Profiles - Promote Your Books

@naughtyannie. I've raised it directly with the developers (thanks for the nudge) but raising a support ticket won't hurt too if you have time. Less likely to get lost if it has an official ticket assigned to it. Thank you.

has there been any movement with regards to adding Ebooks?

there seem to be a number of authors more interested in this at the moment

Did this ever become a thing?

(Hope this is the right place to post this?--apologies if it isn't).

At last I've found a lovely violinist to pose for the cover of my musical e-book, 'Naked and Note-Perfect. A suite of six stories of awakenings and re-awakenings'. Hope you all enjoy them. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZMTPM1SEF12X/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00EL1YOGA

If you go to the bottom of the home page you will find Author's EBooks listed. On both sites. I have one on Lush and 2 on SS.

Holy crap! 94 pages of ‘em!

May I ask someone for help publishing an erotic eBook or is there another thread more suitable the discussion?

Thanks!

Message me with your question, I'll try to answer it.

I found Smashwords.com very easy to use. It doesn't even require that you use it's on template. I can give you details about that if you get that far. They have a good document for finding makers of electronic covers too.

I see the section on my profile. No e-books listed, of course. But I can't figure out how to put my books in that section. Can you help?

I don't think it's possible at the moment to add new ones to the list that existed before the "upgrade". But I'd be delighted to be corrected.

We have added a section to members' profiles, so that those of you who have published stories on Amazon, can add your ebook titles.

You will find the new "Your eBooks" link in your settings: http://www.lushstories.com/membership/Details/your-ebooks.aspx?s=ebooks

It will look like this on your profile:



Hopefully this leads to more exposure and sales for those who publish their own stories.

Cheers,

This was a bit too hot for Amazon but kobo was a bit more broad-minded.

Sadly my books were too hot for Amazon to handle. You can't please everyone.

It would be awesome if this feature could be brought back. I would love to have an easier way of showing my readers that I have a series on Amazon than having to list it in my profile! Also, I hate coming off as a pesky salesman when asked questions about certain novels, so the ebook tab would be a great boon!

I'm sure this feature will return and you can add your books to the existing sixty-four pages.

But being a "pesky salesman" is what self-published authors do when they are not writing.

In addition, if you want to sell books on a social media site you should remember the maxim that 'people buy from people they like'.

My poetry is handled by a small independent publisher. But it's much the same. Most of my sales come from a specialist poetry writing site and from readings at open mics and poetry groups.

I don't seem to be able to add my books to my profile - do I need a paid membership t do so?

Per discussions above, the feature was lost in the transition to the new software and has not come back yet.

Plus one for this. I went to add my new ebook and was a bit dismayed to see there's no way to add it.

You should be able to create a profile post with a link to the Amazon page for the book. Or start a thread in the Self-Promotion & Marketing forum. There's just no specific section of your profile dedicated to it, which would be nice to have.
