Welcome to r/selfpublish, Healthy-Country-44! Please remember the primary first rule of the subreddit: No self promo posts outside of the pinned self promo thread. You can edit your own profile so you have links to your work or services and you can even post to and pin posts to the top of your profile page. The no self promo rule INCLUDES COMMENTS - so if you ignore this message it will result in a ban (if you’ve mentioned your book title in the post, remove it or delete the post.) Book cover reviews go in r/bookcovers.

Additionally, DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE YOUR COMMENTS OR MAKE POSTS. We want to keep the self in self publishing. Rule 2 also prohibits posts about AI. If your post is about AI, remove it.

If your post is low effort or simply for congratulatory purposes, please remove it and instead write your post in the pinned weekly thread. Example posts would be like “Finally published!” or “Just finished doing X! How has everyone else felt after doing X?”

The wiki contains answers to most basic questions. Please report any violating posts or comments. This automated message is added to every single post as a reminder of some of the most cardinal rules.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

D2D is the best aggregator to reach wider distribution and libraries. I’ve been using them for years.

I am using it for all digital versions besides Kindle. It's a good central resource to push your digital book to many retailers.

D2D is great. I use them as the entrypoint to smashwords mainly but they hit all major stores.

Cons are they charge you a fee if you don’t make $100 a year. I’ve always made over that but most authors do not

This!

I still don't get how I can earn 32 dollars in August and have no royalties due. I don't understand the system.

And you are going to go insane trying. It runs on the numbers the different retailers release and is usually a month behind.Then there is the waiting period for refunds. I get payments added long after they happen from international sources. Not scamming you just a very complex payment system happening in real time. The only thing that matters is the payment into your bank. You got book promotion to do.
