@jasondoroughauthor: Seeing your book on a bookstore shelf feels amazing, but is it a smart business move for indie authors? Here’s what to consider before you chase that dream. #indieauthor #selfpublishing #authortok #writingadvice #bookmarketing #BookTok
yeah, I sold 144 books to B&N last month and got literal dollars from it 😂😂😂

you only pay half the cost of they are destroyed. there is an option to pay the print price and the returned copies are sent to you. it also doesn't happen alot. i use the returned books for signed copies at cons

I wish people would talk about this more. I’ve known people who were surprised with thousands of dollars of buybacks.

That's really interesting, as I am in my local Waterstones but I'm learning quickly that selling my books in person is best or online!!! I'm with IngramSpark too

I don't like going to Barnes and Noble so I won't subject my books to it. Great insightful video though!

Could you make a video covering more sources for indie authors. I didn’t know the bad things that could come from Ingram. My plan was to distribute my paperbacks through them. I really want to one day see people holding my books!
