i absolutely love your energy. thank you for your lightness of being. you made me smile to myself while listening as i followed the steps on a day when i am crawling to the finish line with my 1st book after a year of and and downs. almost there! thank you! 🙏🏾❤
Yes, the keywords for Google are that much more important. Not only for discovery on Google Play Books but when someone 'googles' your author name and book title. You can easily adjust the keywords and description and one tip I've heard is to make sure you have a keyword rich log line as the first line of your book description for Google Play.
thank you! super helpful and straightforward. my question is around page count. do you enter the page count from your original manuscript? mine is an ebook. it's 110 pages typed in Word start to finish including front and back matter (without the cover). i created my epub file formal in Scrivener, but obviously the page count differs depending on what format or preview i view it in (tablet, phone, etc.). what page count do you use?
Hey I have a problem with my account it's showing that that your account is not yet approved will I get approved or not can you please tell me or can you make video on this topic ?
what about, not uploading a new book as an update (and deactivating the older) but uploading refreshed files into the page of already existing book. Will it not update this way AND THEN isnt this better way if I want my old readers get the new version for free?
I would suggest StreetLib, they were created for authors in Europe, Middle East, and African countries as well as some in Asia. You should be able to distribute to the major retailers from their platform
Another great video, thanks so much, really helpful. I've published my print book with Ingram and Amazon and ebook format with D2D and Amazon, do you know if it's still okay to go ahead and publish the same ebook and print book with Google Play and if so do I use the same isbn I used on D2D, which is my own. Sorry, hope that's all clear.
I have got the result and it got deactivated because they are unsure if I was authorized for my own novels. For context, I want to publish it on G Ebook with GGkey, I am new to this, so I don't know what to appeal and if it is a guarantee I can publish them. Do you have a feedback?@@1MKWilliams

I tried registering an account to sell books on Google Play but they didn't approve it. I waited 10 days and received a rejection Email from Google. I wonder if anyone has encountered a similar situation and how to fix it?
Hello, I have a question, is it optional for the writer to add tax or is it just necessary for the writers that live in the United States, I'm from the Philippines, that's why I was curious if it's in your decision to add tax or not, because from my own understanding, my country uses vats
I had issues with the Genres tab. For the BISAC, my list ended somewhere in the Bs. I saw that you typed in "Fiction." How did you discover more categories?
ISBNs and Barcodes for Self-Publishing Books : Do I need an ISBN? Do I need a Barcode? Amazon KDP Free ISBN?: ua-cam.com/play/PL5wG4jOiELp0BbfdZUAVE9BmHL51VJBf3.html
I have a novel published on KDP. If I make a few minor changes to the content before uploading the ms, can I still use the same ISBN number for the new Google Play version?
This doesn't work in Nigeria, is there any way to bypass that? I also want to ask if it requires a UK tax number if I am creating an account from the UK
Yes, you can still do an eBook. But I suggest working with a formatter to make sure to images are placed correctly and that the file size isn't too big. The bigger the file size the less you earn in royalties.

Congratulations on your book! Glad I could help
Thank you for the walk-through! And I'll definitely be saving this for when I get a second edition going.
Happy to help! Feel free to send me any questions you have!!
@@1MKWilliams can you tell if the book thet uploaded is edited by costumer or not?
@@AlbionaAbazi-wb5tc I don't believe so
I was curious about uploading to Google Play Books. Thanks.
Happy to help!
Can you explain how a new book writer would get an isbn number and the book ID number that you showed in the video?
I have a ton of videos about ISBNs, start here: ua-cam.com/video/fcS7nm55tps/v-deo.html

I use the MS word page count
Thanks ❣️ alot ❤ girl Love you ❤
You're welcome
Please what is the size for paperback and hardcover
Google Play only supports eBook and audiobook
Is there a preview option where I can actually see what my ebook looks like, like I can on KDP before I hit the publish button?
I dont believe so, if it exists I haven't found it yet

Yes, upload new files to an existing book
Hi!! I installed play books for the first time to read ORV :) though im curious if theres a scroll option instead?
Not sure, I would think that would be in settings.
Thank you ma, please some countries are not allowed to publish in this site like Nigeria, is there any shortcut?

Yes to all. If you own the ISBN then you can publish it to Google Play. Best of luck with your book!
@@1MKWilliams Thanks.
Thanks for this! Also, will it read aloud the book for the purchaser?
I'm not sure. This specific book is in an exclusive audiobook deal via ACX, the audiobook is only available via Amazon, Audible, and Apple.
I'm wondering about the Google preliminary review to my account, how long does it take and is it a guarantee I can publish a book after that?
I don't recall I set mine up so long ago
I have got the result and it got deactivated because they are unsure if I was authorized for my own novels. For context, I want to publish it on G Ebook with GGkey, I am new to this, so I don't know what to appeal and if it is a guarantee I can publish them. Do you have a feedback?@@1MKWilliams

It really varies by month, genre, what advertising the author is putting towards their book, etc
What if I make a children's picture books is it the same process?
If you have an eBook version of the picture book, yes it is the same process to upload it to Google Play. They are a digital only platform
Quick question. What if I uploaded the wrong book. How do I delete it? I have not clicked submit yet. Please advise.
Upload the new correct version and that one will supercede the old one

That is a great question for an accountant from your country to answer.
Hi MK , i think it is worth mentioining that ebooks do not require an ISBN
While the individual platforms may not require it, they are a best practice: ua-cam.com/video/MBVoA-ZaBJQ/v-deo.html
I also want to ask if it requires a UK tax number if I am creating an account from the UK
Hi, M.K. I was wondering if you are allowed to use a pen name for your books like on Amazon KDP?
Yes!
@@1MKWilliams Can you please show how to set that up? Also, how many pen names can you have?
I got disapproved and acct deactivated How can I get reinstated? HELP??
I would suggest reaching out to their customer support team

@@1MKWilliams Thank you.
I added my first book to Google Books and wanted know if it says needs action, is it still good? Is there something I need to do??
Wait 24 hours to see if the message is still there
I would like to know how can I get the ISBN no?
I have a playlist all about ISBNs, where to get them, how much they cost, etc: ua-cam.com/video/fcS7nm55tps/v-deo.html
What if you have already published it on Amazon KDP? Can you also upload it to Play?
Yes, so long as you own your ISBN you can publish the eBook across multiple platforms.
@@1MKWilliams Sweet! Thanks
How to get isbn?
ISBNs and Barcodes for Self-Publishing Books : Do I need an ISBN? Do I need a Barcode? Amazon KDP Free ISBN?: ua-cam.com/play/PL5wG4jOiELp0BbfdZUAVE9BmHL51VJBf3.html
Is there formatting guidelines for text and images? My book was rejected and I'm suspecting poor format of such (Google didn't specify).
Yes, I prefer to work with a service to make sure the ePub file is accepted the first time on each platform: 100covers.com/?ref=49
I have a novel published on KDP. If I make a few minor changes to the content before uploading the ms, can I still use the same ISBN number for the new Google Play version?
Yes, if it is only minor changes you can still upload a new file but use the same ISBN
Hi. If a novel only has 30,000 words, how much should I sell it for on the Google Play Store?
I'd suggest looking at other novellas on the platform to see how much they are charging. usually a novella is priced lower than a full length novel
This doesn't work in Nigeria, is there any way to bypass that? I also want to ask if it requires a UK tax number if I am creating an account from the UK
how long does it take to get a account on Google play books?
Some countries name are not showing in a list like Pakistan 😕 how l select
That is a great question for Google support
@1MKWilliams please help me how I publish my novels In Google play store .

Can you show how to design ebook?
I work with a professional now so that it is accepted the first time: 100Covers: 100covers.com/?ref=49

Google Play always makes me feel like a beginner ... it's fiddly for sure
Absolutely!! It's there but they definitely don't give the ux a lot of attention 🤷♀️
They dont seem to allow Australian Authors. They deactivated my account before I even published my first ebook. Not happy
Sorry to hear that
If I have photos in my print book, would you suggest doing an ebook?
Yes, you can still do an eBook. But I suggest working with a formatter to make sure to images are placed correctly and that the file size isn't too big. The bigger the file size the less you earn in royalties.
