I've been with D2D as of my last book. I'm amazed at its reach and how much they offer all self-publishers in terms of getting their work out. The sales have been phenomenal there.
I am just starting with D2D for my third book. And I have already received sales through them. I am just now exploring their many avenues to sell my book, and this video is extremely timely. Thank you so much.

There's no option at all on D2D for printing internal colour manuscript images. They do it only in black and white ink. This is a huge problem for creating recipe and children's story books.

Hi Julie, great videos, thank you so much. I am in the process of writing an ebook on how to paint with pastels. I would love to use D2D to sell my book but have just found out that they only work in black and white. As my book is all about painting it obviously has many internal coloured pictures. I would love your advice on which distribution platform to use. Thanks again for so many great videos.
If you liked this video, and you’re looking for guidance to write your book you will LOVE my book: Self-Publish and Succeed. You can grab it here: www.selfpublishandsucceed.com or if you have a non-fiction book written and you’re looking at launch or post-launch marketing support, this is the book to read for that: selfpromoteandsucceed.com/ or you can watch the audiobook version here: Self-Promote and Succeed Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLh6B5bRioc1xBijZsvgKUJYyuR8RKjylA.html See you again soon!
I think they have a lot of limits on low content book but because I don't do that (we only do non-fiction content books) I really don't know too much about that.
Hi Julie, I've been watching a lot of your you-tube videos and am learning so much. Quick question about pre-launch/book reviews? Do I understand correctly that I am to give my book (digital or paperback thru Draft2Digital) to my book launch team and ask them to put a review on Amazon on the launch day when it goes public? Or do I list the ebook on amazon before the public launch day so that my book launch team can go and leave a review so that reviews are already there on the public launch day? Help!
Yes this is mostly correct. I would probably use a secure site like StoryOrigin or Book Sprout to give the pre-order copy of the book. You would have the book listed for sale but you're giving them a copy through another platform so they can read it and post their review on launch day. My book, Self-Promote and Succeed will help. Here's the audiobook version free: selfpromoteandsucceed.com/audio Here's a couple of videos that will help: ua-cam.com/video/50Nu3NaqJQA/v-deo.htmlsi=GGykqg-wyub-BhFp and ua-cam.com/video/sWKsNix3hK0/v-deo.htmlsi=3pbwJB2qPm__Fi1Q

This video explains the things you need to know: ua-cam.com/video/-W5eUwVFcW0/v-deo.htmlsi=0C2h8YhGUAmaik6b Short answer is you need an ISBN for each format and use the same ISBN on every platform
What distribution arm would you suggest for an indie author that creates medium content puzzle books? I lost my KDP Membership and have over 100 books to find a new home for distribution?
is there a functional difference between a Canadian isbn an american isbn with these digital platforms? Does locality matter? I am assuming there must be some region modification of results

I had an unusual experience with D2D .. after uploading >30 books, I had two ambiguous exchanges with customer service. Following a polite, respectful, business professional letter to their CEO, my account was closed. I got the distinct impression that D2D was disinterested in interacting with a hearing-impaired author. I hope that you have a better experience, but I did NOT find D2D to be a friend of Indie Authors ... again, MY experience.
Oh gosh - I am so sorry to hear that. I feel like this is really unusual. We work directly with quite a few humans at D2D and they have all been really fantastic. Hopefully you've found a better path for you and your books?
@@BookLaunchers Next on my list is Publish Drive. At this point, I point to create an LLC, buy a batch of ISBNs and go legit. The stigma attached to being an 'Indie" author is real, and I got that distinct vibe from both Amazon KDP and D2D. I need to find an entity with a real business point of contact to do business with. It is difficult to do business where customer service people hold your account in their hands and there is no professional business path to handle the relationship. Again, my comments about D2D are mine alone based on my experiences. I am open to any other suggestions ... Peace BB
I've been with D2D for a number of years and it's been a very positive experience. I recommend them for all seasoned and new authors.
Love that. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Really great video. Can you post your author link. It goes by so fast
This one? books2read.com/ap/RDOjGr/Julie-Broad
is there a functional difference between a Canadian isbn an american isbn with these digital platforms? Does locality matter? I am assuming there must be some region modification of results
No it's an international number so it doesn't matter.

Is it still true D2D can not print the color interior
pages of a children picture book
Great value!
I had an unusual experience with D2D .. after uploading >30 books, I had two ambiguous exchanges with customer service. Following a polite, respectful, business professional letter to their CEO, my account was closed. I got the distinct impression that D2D was disinterested in interacting with a hearing-impaired author. I hope that you have a better experience, but I did NOT find D2D to be a friend of Indie Authors ... again, MY experience.
Oh gosh - I am so sorry to hear that. I feel like this is really unusual. We work directly with quite a few humans at D2D and they have all been really fantastic. Hopefully you've found a better path for you and your books?
@@BookLaunchers Next on my list is Publish Drive. At this point, I point to create an LLC, buy a batch of ISBNs and go legit. The stigma attached to being an 'Indie" author is real, and I got that distinct vibe from both Amazon KDP and D2D. I need to find an entity with a real business point of contact to do business with. It is difficult to do business where customer service people hold your account in their hands and there is no professional business path to handle the relationship. Again, my comments about D2D are mine alone based on my experiences. I am open to any other suggestions ... Peace BB
The sound effects are over the top. Very distracting. I would lose them.
Thanks for your input.
Does D2D print childrens picture books?
