How to Sell Your KDP Book On Etsy

To sell your KDP book on Etsy you’ll need to remember that you cannot sell an eBook version, but you can sell printed paperback or hardcover versions of your book.

Order Your Own KDP Books

With KDP you’re able to order author copies of your book at cost. These books are the same quality that your customers get and it’s exciting and satisfying to open up a box full of books that you yourself wrote.

Selling Author Copies

Once you have your books you can sell them on your ETSY account by creating a listing for it and once a book sells you will need to fulfill your order and ship it out to your customer. There is no way to link your Amazon KDP account directly to your ETSY account to have them fulfilled automatically. Set the price of your book to make sure it covers the shipping fees or select the option for the buyer to cover shipping as an added cost to buying your book.

Selling your author copies isn’t just about making a profit; it’s also a great way to connect directly with your readers. You could set up a booth at a fair or other local events, place them on your website, arrange for a book signing, hold a reading or book signing at the local library or bookstore, or simply hand out signed copies as gifts. No matter how you follow through, you’ll be sharing your work in a more personal way. You are the marketer and salesperson as well as the storyteller. Just plan it out, get creative, and make your book a reality that people can hold in their hands. Every book you sell spreads your story to a new reader.
