Figuring out distribution channels feels like trying to read tea leaves in the dark — thanks for taking the time to break it down for us, it’s much appreciated! :D

Just want to say thank you, Dale. You coached me through the process of what to know about kpd self-publishing my first children’s book.

[HelenColeAuthor]

Thank you for such consistently helpful and reliable content Dale. I truly don't know if I could have self published without your wisdom.

Anyone who asks me how I did it will automatically be directed to you. Thank you!

If you publish using Draft 2 Digital, (they now paublish print books on their Beta program) you can avoid all the fees and get a flat 45% roylaties at the same time. The best of both worlds!!

DARN, You really know your craft and people like me really learn what steps to take before we Self-Publish - Thank you for the video recommendations you sent me last time - I am working on a new Diet book and Novels so it's important to know about full color - White pages and all - Can't thank you enough but 1000 times, THANKS & ALOHA!!! Ralph Collins - Leaving Page Publishing for obvious reasons!!!

I get a lot of expanded distribution orders with KDP. I had no idea there was an alternative. I'm thinking the money isn't worth the extra work. Yet.

Hey, Dale! I want to say thanks for returning my query. You are a valuable resource for writers everywhere. Keep doing what you're doing.

[TaniasWritingRealm]

Interesting info thanks! I haven't started p.o.d. yet. Just ebooks. So this is helpful.

[ThePyromancers]

Dale, this is great service my dude. Thank you.

We bought ISBNs with the intent of publishing to IngramSparks. Currently just doing the expanded distribution on KDP and wondering if its worth it to also publish to IS. My husband writes books on playing the banjo - do you think there is a better chance of getting into music stores via IS? Thanks for this video and the tips - very informative!

[truthplease]

Thank you for the video!
I wanted to clarify:
If I have my own isbn,
Are you saying : publish on kdp WITH OR WITHOUT expanded distribution? & then - on Ingram spark?
Thank you so much!

[xnemesis]

Okay so KDP first. IS second. I'm curious: Do we have an option on IS to not distribute through Amazon if we don't want our book listed twice on Amazon?

[rhiannonrhiannon]

Did you say that if you have your own ISBN number you don't have to pay Ingramspark?

[billbrightman]

Should I buy an ISBN before I publish to KDP? And if so, can I use the same ISBN both for KDP and Ingram Spark?

[nikkik]

Hi! If you publish with ingram spark for expanded distribution, should you also publish separately to KDP? Somehow i had to use a separate ISBN when uploading to ingram and its on Amazon with a different isbn on preorder. Just wondering if i could maybe just delete that copy and keep the ingram one? And do you lose control over your key words if this happens?

[BeComingNyrell]

I happened to google myself and I see that one of my books is listed on a website outside of Amazon. With ED, I was under the impression outside book stores ordered the paperback in bulk. Is that not accurate. Are resellers able to just list the book on their website siting "we can order this from the publisher"

[snapcracklendpopable]

Hi, I am unable to check the box to turn on Expanded Distribution is this because my book isn't approved? I meet all the qualifications.
