Where to sell books online?

It cost nothing to start selling online. You can sell your books, audio, photos, videos and services for free.
As a blog entrepreneur, you can make use of the following sites to sell online:
Selz: Sell your e-books, plugins, services and physical items via Selz. Get paid weekly through PayPal and ACH payment. So, if you have a Payoneer account, you can get paid via payoneer selling your digital products and services.
You set-up and host your products and services for free. You don’t pay monthly fees. The pricing is 5% + $0.25 on every transaction via credit card; 2% on every transaction via payPal. It means, if you sell a book for $10, you receive $9.35 per sale if buyer uses credit card.
PayHip: PayHip pay sellers via PayPal and Stripe. They accept payment via Paypal and credit card from customers. They allow you to sell e-books; they host it for free and take 5% from revenue. They allows you to recruit affiliates and share revenue with them.


GumRoad: Sell musics, film and books with Gumroad. No refund fees, no monthly fees, no hosting fees. 5% fees + $0.25 are deducted from your earning only when you make a sale. You get paid via ACH weekly when your account earning balance reaches $10.
Sellfy: Sellfy allows you to sell books and anything digital for free to your audience. They host your files for free and just take 5% of revenue when a sale occurs. They accept payment from PayPal and credit card. Sellers get paid instantly via PayPal and Stripe.
I pick Selz as the best selling platform that fits my needs. Here’s why?
  • They pay via PayPal and direct transfer. I can easily withdraw my earning via Payoneer US payment services.
  • They support PayPal payment for buyers. (Even if it is a paid feature, it is not available at all at Gumroad which is the other great alternative with ACH payment). And I don’t pay for it unless needed. But it is good to know that it is there for my needs.
  • They integrate email marketing services such as Aweber and Mailchimp. ( A nice way to send free e-books even if you use the Mailchimp’s free plan)
  • They integrate Facebook Pages. So, you can sell on facebook.
  • They link your store hosted for free with your Google Analytics account.
But if you live in a country where PayPal is enabled, PayHip is perhaps the best deal for you:
  • They accept PayPal and credit card payment for free from buyer. (Not as paid add-ons).
  • They pay via PayPal and Stripe. (Both payment methods are not available anywhere).
  • They support “tweet or share for discount” to make buyer promoting your books.
  • You can set user to pay what he wants.
  • You can offer custom coupon codes.
  • You get paid instantly.
  • They support affiliate marketing so affiliate can promote your books and get paid.
  • They protect your e-books by adding customer email in PDF to prevent distribution.
So, now, money can’t stop you from creating products for your blog business. Now that you get the places, you just have to create products and sell services that worth the customers’ money.
You can easily create an online store to sell books online for free. You may just want to sell directly your products without starting an online store. Those programs, especially selz that I am using, allow you to do both.source www.heedpages.com
