Thanks so much for watching! I hope you found this video on how to get ISBN numbers helpful. If you’re planning to write a children’s book, let me know! I can’t wait to cheer you on!

Hi great video, I’m subscribing

[@laurayangshareyourfaith]

Wow! Eevi you are amazing. You give incredibly important information succinctly. Also, you are so encouraging in a world that can be so disappointing. I am a first time children's author. I went to a Writer's Conference and some of the Home Schoolers and Children's Ministry leaders wanted curriculum to go along with my book. I am assuming I would need an ISBN for that as well (since you mentioned coloring books need one.) I would love to hear back from you. Thank you.

[@EeviJones]

Hi Laura! Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, anything that we wish to publish for sale on marketplaces such as Amazon, we would have to have its own ISBN, simply so that it can be cataloged and identified. If, however, you'd simply put a curriculum up to be sold and downloaded on your website, then you wouldn't need an ISBN. I so hope this helps! Have such a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year, Laura!

[@anab1872]

No one has ever explained about the ISBN so simply & so clearly! Thank you Eevy!

[@EeviJones]

You're so welcome, Ana! I'm really happy this helped!

[@mandyjairell3478]

I love how you break all of the options down for us, the pros and cons, and how to do it. You are a great guide!

[@EeviJones]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Mandy! I so appreciate you!

As usual, all your information is so clear, concise and invaluable. Thank you for your kindness in sharing with all:)

[@EeviJones]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Luisa! I'm so very happy to hear this was helpful!

[@mjmeyer7392]

OMG! Thank you for all this information. I have your book but hearing it from you makes it less scary. Thank you!

[@EeviJones]

I'm so, so happy to hear you have my book and that my resources help you make this wonderful journey a bit less overwhelming, MJ!

[@Lillith760]

This video, as all of your videos, is so valuable to first time authors. I just know that I can come to your videos during this process to get all my questions answered. What would we prospective authors do without you? Thank you so much Eevi for providing this service and these wonderful videos!

[@EeviJones]

That is so sweet of you! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@Jackpotstat]

Perfect!! 😊 You Rock!

[@EeviJones]

Thanks so much!!!

[@laurawalsh9545]

I'm so grateful to you and your bar code tool! I have learned something every time I watch you Eevi. You're a good friend to us all. Always giving you a thumbs up and my best.

[@EeviJones]

That's so sweet of you, Laura! Thank you so much for your kind words. And I'm so, so happy to hear that you're learning something new every time.

[@georgetoolanbooks]

Thank you, Eevi! This video about ISBN numbers is very helpful!

[@EeviJones]

That is so wonderful to hear, George! Thank you so much!

[@planetaryPoem9]

Very good presentation and content.

Thank you so much!

[@colinbluth5461]

how is this channel not the first one that poops up when searching for self publishing childrens book? it dont make no scene

[@EeviJones]

Thank you so, so much for your kind words, Colin! This means so much to me!

[@cristyfrazier9161]

Can you use different imprint names with the bulk ISBN buy? Ex: 5 under one imprint and 5 under another?

[@EeviJones]

Hi Christy! How are you? I hope you've been having a wonderful week! When we are purchasing our ISBN packages on Bowker, we have to enter a publishing name (our imprint). Once our book has been published and we want to assign the used ISBN, Bowker currently inserts our previously entered imprint automatically. So I don't believe we are able to use bulk-purchased ISBNs for different imprints. But perhaps simply reach out to Bowker and ask, just in case. I so hope this helps!

[@user-uo9br9fe2s]

❤️

[@JoudySkillZz]

I have already published.… but I wanted to know, do we need the barcode?

[@EeviJones]

Hi Joudy! How wonderful of you to reach out! If you have already published your book, your back cover will need a barcode. We can either add it to our cover ourselves, or we can opt to have KDP add it for us. If it is an ebook, then it won't need a barcode. I so hope this helps!

[@afrobailerecords]

Do you recommend putting the dollar amount for your book price on the iSBN when setting it up?

[@EeviJones]

Hi Miguel! That would depend on your ultimate end-goal. I share the different options (plus their advantages and disadvantages) in this video right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5eTkqCaiJh8jLs - I hope this helps!

[@rebeccak7031]

There's one missing piece , if we take Amazons ISPN for the Amazon version, can't we just buy a separate ISPN for Ingram spark

[@EeviJones]

Hi Rebecca - you certainly could, but then your book would appear twice on Amazon, with two different ISBNs. So I wouldn't recommend it.

[@asangel18]

Thank you for another great video Eevi! Does changing the number of pages in your book require a new ISBN? Sometimes a print-on-demand company will require the last page to be blank. For eg where a book has 32 pages with a spot image on the 32nd page (to avoid adding 4 more pages) I assume it would be easier to simply remove the spot image on the last page. However this wouldn't be the case with some offset printers who will accept an image on the last page. If you were using both methods to print your book, you'd have one of the following scenarios; 32 pages for both, but with the print on demand version having one image (spot) less. Or 36 pages with the print on demand company and 32 pages with the offset printer, but all images would be the same. In either case, would they require a seperate ISBN? Apologies for the long question- hope it makes sense! :)

[@EeviJones]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this video. Having a slightly different page count won't require a new ISBN AS LONG AS all the meta data is still exactly the same (e.g., author name, title, sub title, etc.).

[@asangel18]

@EeviJones Thank you ever so much Eevi.

[@HappyGrinsOnLittleChins]

Hi Eevi, please help, I purchased my ISBN and I got a barcode from barcode generator resources in your book but my proof copy from KDP still includes Amazon’s barcode. They placed it over the one that I put on my back cover. Since my book is still in draft, will this change after it goes live? Or is the barcode specifically for book retailers and wholesalers like you mentioned in chapter 6. I will try to order a proof without my barcode and see if Amazon will add my ISBN to their barcode. Do you have any insight on this? Any advice would help:)

[@EeviJones]

I'm so sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. KDP always adds a temporary barcode on any proof copy. So as long as you've checked the box during your cover sheet upload, indicating that you have added your barcode yourself, you should be good to go! Good luck!!

[@cathychats]

Hi Eevi would you recommend a beginner to purchase 1000 ISBNs? The average rice is so much better if I buy bulk...I know most people would advice to purchase 10 or 100 as a beginner but I'm very serious about publishing low KDP books and I do have the funds for it, I live in South America but I do have a LLC in the US. Can you advise please?

[@EeviJones]

Hi Cathy! Even though you are very serious about publishing, I would go ahead and purchase the 10 or 100 package. Once you've gone through the publishing and marketing process a few times and have seen what it is all about, you can always purchase the bigger package. The only time I'd recommend going for the really large option would be if you're also planning on publishing other authors' work under your imprint, and if you are planning to provide all formats - because each would require it's own ISBN (paper, hardcover, etc.). I hope this helps.

[@wiebkepapenfus4189]

Should I apply an ISBN number to my ebook version?

[@EeviJones]

Hi Wiebke! I share the 3 rules beginning at 1:33 in the video.

[@scooter1gin]

Question about the final step - if I already have the name of the book I am getting the ISBN for, can I simply just do the final step after I purchase my ISBN?

[@EeviJones]

Hi Laura! How are you? When assigning our ISBN to our book, we are asked to enter a publication date. So technically, you won't be able to do so until your book has been published. Hope this helps!

[@scooter1gin]

@@EeviJones yes, it does. Thank you!
