Thank you for these very detailed directions. I've now published my book on all of the book seller sites thanks to your videos!

[@hipharpist]

Hi Rich - thanks for the great video. I searched all over for the link to your website or to the checklist you mentioned and couldn't find them tho I saw a lot of other links. I'd love to get that checklist if it's still available. Thx!

[@sarahharperwriting]

This is a great presentation. I love it. It is clear very explanatory and a good resource for a beginner like me.

[@dominicoguguo8197]

thanks for the info.

[@sy-jt3cp]

thank you! this was really helpful because itunes connect is surprisingly antiquated compared to google play and even amazon from a user interface standpoint. i know it's a personal preference, but do you have any thoughts or an an opinion on whether to select DRM for an ebook and if i am making it available in all countries?

[@Stanpt888]

love your videos. great content

[@squareleg5757]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@katrinastubbs1279]

Hello Rich just FYI Apple has changed the sign in page. It looks a little different. Thank you for the information

[@rmarykirk1643]

This is a very helpful video, Rich!

[@strel933]

Hi Rich, can i use a pen name instead of my real name to publish a book, and where do i put the real name, and where do i put the pen name? Please advise

[@anismerdas]

thanks bro from algeria :)

[@GrommieWolf]

Thank you! Excellent vid!!

[@oyubeut]

Hi Rich, I'm in Spain and so far I haven't been able to find the routing number for my bank. Online the advice is to look at a cheque, where it can be seen beside the account number, but I haven't used cheques in ages and don't have a cheque book. I'll be consulting my bank as soon as I can and will then leave a comment.

[@juicekingdom951]

Greetings Rich, keep up the good work.

[@Griddiho]

Rich, these videos have been a terrific help. Thank you. My experience with Apple was a little different in some details compared to your video, especially re the tax and legal entity parts. Have things changed recently?

[@Lorna-JWB]

Do you know if you can still self publish on Apple Books?

[@inspirestitch9594]

Hi Rich, Excellent

[@TJ-spirit]

Thanks.

[@funny11744]

Does the APPLE BOOK has the option for lending ebook ? Or the custumer could read my book by just paying a monthly subsription, etc. and not by buying my book ? Thanks

[@mymixchannel369]

One other question, in the start of the video you said there is not physical publishing on apple book yet and in the mostly very end showed prices about physical and ebook prices I got confused, is there way to publish in physical book on I-book or no. Thank you 🙏

[@Dare2Dream.Official]

I don't have an apple device, will that be a problem for publishing?

[@lawrencelee8289]

Thank you!! Would this prices be the same for a graphic novel?

[@lawrencelee8289]

[@josuebenitezworld]

Hi Rich! Great info … Question: Is needed to publish an e-book a ISDN number?

[@blazevich]

You don’t need an ISBN to publish an ebook on Apple Books. Some publishing platforms require ISBNs, but Apple Books does not.

[@josuebenitezworld]

@@blazevich Thank you for the info.

[@mymixchannel369]

It asked me a lot of questions on banking info part like home address, zip code about my bank is it that way?

[@mymixchannel369]

I did my agreements and it asks for tax and stuffs and there is the form W-9 I’ve never heard that could someone explain how that w-9 works please 🙏 W-2 is the regular one mostly people get, 1099 is for freelancers but what is W-9 ? ☺️

[@booksfortheblind5414]

Hi Rich, i'd like to know if it is possible to publish on Apple using a non-Apple device like for example an android or PC. The reason i'm asking this is because I coudn't find the answer anywherelse. Thanks.

[@SheddyOfficial]

[@tommoran236]

I have an idea for a short book. How to get a job at a certain government bureau. I think it might be perhaps 10 - 20 pages long. Is a short book like this something I could put up on Apple Books? Or even with Amazon, etc.? Many thanks.

[@funny11744]

Can I choose Euros in place of Dollars ?

[@KrisFlint]

Hi Rich, I found this a very useful video, thank you. I have a question. When publishing an Apple Book, is there a way of creating split payments for the commission for other contributors of the book?

[@mymixchannel369]

Hi sorry I’m doing my agreements in banking section it asking my home address and zip code and something like that is that correct? I mean it should ask that things? Because I’m video Rich just said account number and routing number sections but when I scroll down I saw questions about home address and zip code or what account is my bank

[@TKThemeParkReviewer]

[@jaybirdvoiceoverproduction1156]

**HI RICH!!!** I published my book on Apple but I didn't upload a sample file. Now the only thing that can be seen on the site is a blank page, the title page, and only the first illustration. Can I go back and upload a sample file without having to reload my manuscript?

[@cmd9843]

Hi Rich- can I publish a PDF without converting it to EPUB in Apple Books? For some reason when I try to bring it into Pages, the file is dark and not clickable.

[@geefim2144]

When I get to the apply countries or regions in the rights and pricing page I click continue but then it says we can’t process your request. Any idea ? Frustrating

[@GoVandyBronc]

[@chanele9148]

Hi Rich can I use a pen name ?

[@VeganGaymer]

Hi, Rich! I wanted to know if there is a way to create promo codes so that certain customers can have a discounted price on a Apple book? I also wanted to know if there was a way to send a code to make our Apple ebook free in order that certain reviewers get the book at not cost and review it on their website or KZbin channel for example?

[@adhamoscar]

When sign in show this message "Your Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect. Learn More " What should I do?
