Paperback Publishing Books in India

[@nagaxplorer2022]

Very helpful video. I was wondering how to publish in India for an Indian audience, and at the same time sell on amazon. You answered my questions, thanks!

[@KomalSingh_611]

Can you please explain me as well

[@haikulover2722]

Sir, I have published my book on amazon kdp (both ebook and paperback). Now, I want to publish paperback through Notionpress in India. I want to copyright my material from Indian official site. Will there be any problem in acceptance of copyright as my book is already released on amazon??? Please help Sir if you see my comment....

[@techl]

As long as the already published book is also fully your work, there won't be any issue.

[@jaspreetgaba6509]

Nice video. I'm in the process of writing a book. I'd like to know if any of the POD services make your book available in physical stores? Thanks

[@Engleasy]

Does Notion Press do the copyright for your book?

[@vivekgupta_NITB]

there is some pricing for copyright, in free only you can publish.

[@rimpledeepkaur]

Great video. Very informative and cleared all doubts. Quick question - Can we use KDP free ISBN for notionpress or do I have to use another ISBN. Because I already published my book on kdp and looking forward to publish on notionpress for indian marketplace only. Would greatly appreciate your recommendations on this :)

[@techl]

Hi Rimpledeep, an ISBN holds good only for one format on a specific platform. These are bound to be unique numbers identifying a specific version on a specific publishing platform. So, in light of this, we cannot use KDP's free ISBN for Notionpress. It has to be a different and unused ISBN exclusive for your book sold through Notionpress. Thank you for the kind comment and watching the video, Rimpledeep, glad you found it informative! (pls subscribe, and keep asking questions) :)

[@rimpledeepkaur]

@@techl Sounds good. Thank you for this wonderful reply. Just wanted to clarify, Can I use two different ISBN. Let's say keep the kdp free ISBN for Amazon Kdp. Then publish on notionpress with their own ISBN? I subscribed in few minutes after watching your video :) So glad that I found your channel. Very helpful and informative.

[@bookkkworm]

@@rimpledeepkaur hi, i just published my book on amazon kdp, and I am having the same problem right now, thinking whether or not I can publish my paperback book in india with a same or different isbn

[@it46vistargupta19]

@@rimpledeepkaur have you published on notionpress using their own ISBN, your book is not exclusive to amazon right? how are you doing marketting also?

[@gurutruecrimeguru1405]

Is this still true? I got some sales in India. I guess they must have been ebooks. It looked like a lot of money but turned out to be almost nothing when I translated it NZ income because I did not know what your currency was like. lol Oh actually I think they were KDP reads. Great channel. You have some really great conent on here.

[@desi97244]

Nice video. The "Still good for 2022" was a good addition :-) A couple of questions if you can answer If I use KDP to publish an eBook and only want to publish my paperback outside India (say UK), then I can use KDP for it, correct? When you publish a eBook on KDP, how do/did you market it? How do you get people to know you exist and more so have actually written something. How do you even start getting some sales of the eBook 🙂

[@techl]

A very thoughtful question and comment, so first of all, thank you for that! Let me take a stab at both your questions and this is purely subjective and can differ for every person. 1. Yes, you can use KDP to publish an eBook (for India) and then use it to publish Paperback for all other marketplaces (UK, for e.g.). 2. This is a huge topic and is all about marketing our work in the noisy world. I'd recommend creating media content (blog posts, social media content, videos, podcasts and everything you can), put out for free for people to consume, in your chosen niche. This creates an "audience" who gets to know you, your works, your style, your contributions in your niche. This makes us "an authority" in our niche. Once this happens, and if people love what we do, we can start introducing our paid books and works to them softly and/or they start "Googling" or searching for more of our content. That's the day everyone in the world will call an 'overnight success'. This way, we start to 'exist' in the minds of people. Having said that - eBooks can easily get us there quicker. This is a proven way to establish authority in our subject/niche. Even if nobody notices or purchases, keep creating similar content in all formats, have your own website with related blog posts gaining visitors, optimizing them for search engines, as well as for people. This could also bring people to find our older eBooks and other related content. It's a fine balance between quality and quantity. Additionally, advertising is an altogether different monster that takes money and will get us some interested people our way. But for them to stick, again, we should have already created an ocean of content. Imagine, we go to a grocery store and find 1 or 2 products on the shelf but otherwise all-over empty shelves. On the contrary, imagine entering a store with loads of good stuff to buy on the shelves - it subconsciously creates a sense of 'rich' and 'abundant' content to consume in the minds of visitors. Now, add social proof (# of visitors, buyers, likes, subscribers, reviews) to it - it becomes an automated content engine. Now, this might seem partly like a rant, but hope you find some usefulness. Thanks for reading! :) - Arun from Tech Library TV

Hi Arun. I m soon to self publish a book. Your videos are very helpful. I wanted to know something. Say, I have published paperback on kdp at a price of 7.99 dollars. If I price my book on notion press at say rs. 300, will that be a problem or I can do that ?

[@minalthakur1723]

Hello sir... I am already publishing my book on kdp as ebooks from last 2 years. But this time I published a paperback book which I wanted in printed form as author copy. But the thing is that I would need to order it from US store to India. Which almost costs 21$ which is 10 times more than that of the printing price of the book. So plz help me with the information how should I get that author copy with paying only the price of prints.

Hey can you please share your experience how to start

[@throneroomworship2667]

It's not compulsory to order author copies. You may leave it there to sell. However, if you choose to get a copy for yourself you can be sure that the printed book turned out the way you want it be. If not, you can fix any issues.

Also if I publish in createspace, will the book be reachable to Indian readers as well as readers from other countries? Thanks in advance.

[@techl]

We get a free ISBN from these sellers when we upload through them and our creative work is our own copyright so it should not be an issue. While Notionpress is good for Indian market, Createspace is now KDP so selling through that can make our book available to some international countries as well.

Hi Srinivas, So happy to know you want to publish your first book in your mother tongue! Hats off! Great decision. But Telugu isn't currently available in Notionpress, and I had a chat with Notionpress support and they said they're planning to launch it in the coming months (no TAT as of now). Meanwhile, i checked Pothi.com for you and Telugu is available there! The only catch is, they will publish for free to their pothi.com's own online store only and not on Amazon. There is yet another publisher known as InstaScribe and they do publish to Amazon and other marketplace but for a price. Here are all the links so you can check them out if feasible for your situation: instascribe.com/distribute-books-worldwide.html pothi.com/faq/sales-marketing-and-distribution-ebook/ All the best! - Arun from Tech Library TV
