SPP 057 – Publishing on Kobo with Kobo’s Mark Lefebvre




The Story Studio Podcast - Writing, Storytelling, and Marketing Advice for Writers & Business show

Summary: Today we had an AMAZING chat with Mark Lefebvre, Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations at Kobo. We talked Kobo -- our favorite non-Amazon publishing platform by a mile -- up one side and down the other in this info-packed session. Here are a few of the things we talked about: - How Kobo is different from Amazon and how to get the most of it - How Kobo ranks books, and how best to price them - A few of Kobo's eccentricities that you'll want to know and keep in mind - Why putting your books in multiple stores makes sense - What Kobo has going on that Amazon doesn't (though we do still love Amazon) And here are the tools and articles Mark mentioned on the show: - The correct way to link to books on Kobo by using ISBN search - Getting your Goodreads Reviews to show on Kobo, from the Kobo team - A post where author Eric Kent Edstrom posted a guide for hooking Goodreads to Kobo on his own website (with a nice visual tutorial)
