I find Bookrix to be a good source for self-publishing.

About opening your own shop and selling your books:
I have seen lately people opening Etsy shops and selling their books. The first time I saw it I was surprised since this used to be more of a crafters corner, but then I thought "it is actually a great idea" after all writers are crafters in their own art so why not! I don't know if it would work well in the sense of selling much, but I have thought about it for some days, I saw this and thought on mentioning it. |

The real ebook and paper book sellers list for free. About 99.9% of online sales.
Etsy charges "store" rent. |

I can see, were I a crafter (near beer!) with a specialty and a decent targeted book why I would consider Etsy. (Full disclosure: don't drink beer, don't knit, can't sew and any "crafty-ness" I have is the other kind spelt with an "i.") Hitch |

Yes, though I was replying to the recent post.

I did look at it and was surprised more than one off physical books even qualify, but I guess since Etsy gets the money every month they don't much care what's offered as long as it's not illegal. Ravelery is THE place for selling actual knitting & crochet patterns. Etsy is more kitchy-niche. |

I don't disagree with you, really. I was simply...clarifying a skoosh. For that those that have never been on Etsy in their lives. I don't have a clue what the store rental is. I buy a fair amount of cashmere, via Etsy (which I need like a hole in my damned head, given whereI live), and the occasional bit or bob, or so that's my familiarity.

Hey guys I'm new here i was wondering if anyone would be possibly interested in buying my book now available on amazon. Its a fantasy book [snip self-promotion outside self-promotion forum] and is about a father and his son who go on a quest to save their lands from an evil religious cult that threaten to take over the world.
