I like your channel. No hype, just straight content.
Thank you!! That was my plan all along. The algo doesn't like it but real people do 🤷♀️
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!!
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! 🙏🏾❤
Congratulations on your book! Glad I could help
I was curious about uploading to Google Play Books. Thanks.
Happy to help!
Thanks for the video walk-through. Have you had experience with keywords, etc for Google Play? What is your take on them?
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?
I use the MS word page count
Can You discuss potential revenue from Google Play books please!
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.
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.
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
Thank you ma, please some countries are not allowed to publish in this site like Nigeria, is there any shortcut?
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
Can you publish an ebook using the android version of google books? Or do I really need to use my PC to upload one
I would recommend uploading from a laptop or desktop
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
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.
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 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
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
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 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?
You can find the full list of accepted BISAC codes here: www.bisg.org/BISAC-Subject-Codes-main
@@1MKWilliams Thank you.
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
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
How did you get the isbn?
Here is one of my many videos all about ISBNs that could help: ua-cam.com/video/fcS7nm55tps/v-deo.html
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
so the "need action" is just temporary
It should be
@@1MKWilliams how long does it take for google to approve a account
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 🤷♀️
how do you get ispn number?
I have a ton of videos about this, start with this one: ua-cam.com/video/fcS7nm55tps/v-deo.html
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 .
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?
Same problem,did you get any solution?
I signup successfully with VPN@@daddyramboo
