20 Websites To Sell Your EBook


It’s not easy to find a major publisher who is willing to get your novel out there but why leave your writing career in the hands of others when you can get your own ebook out there yourself. How about publishing your book in electronic form, as an eBook? You essentially produce it the same way you would a printed book, but without the paper and the printing (and the major cuts publishers take off each book sold).
Well, we’re here to give you a list of websites to start you out in your career as a published eBook author. The following are places where you can sign up to sell your books in. Most of the sites have zero sign up fees and a majority of the sale (if not all of it) will go to you. If you’re not sure on how to convert your ‘great idea’ into an ebook format, some of these services will even handle that for you.

Payhip

Payhip will help you do most of the hard work: host your eBooks and securely deliver the eBooks to your customers. It will also handle payments through PayPal for you; all you have to do is upload your eBook to start selling. Once your eBook is on the site, you can promote your book anywhere (FaceBook, Twitter) with a link for your eBook page.
