| Re: Tales of the Perpetual Man Website and Blog. Gratz on the new website are you going to try to get your own sales channel up for your books through it or not? I was recently pleasantly surprised how easy that was thanks to Paypal's shopping cart services. People can order books direct through my site now without having to login or register with Createspace, or amazon, all they need is a credit card or a paypal account and its all secure. The purchase is from ME (I have to then send or drop ship it) which means I don't pay 40% to ammy or 20% to CS (when selling through the CS POD service) or the 30% US foreigner tax thing, just the 2% paypal fee and then settle my tax obligations locally. Of course if they want to buy through those other sites they still can, but those sales I see stuff all out of by the time all the commissions and taxes (in TWO countries) are paid and the bank takes $20 for cashing a foreign cheque... Its a thing to consider I think. My sales were already mostly coming from my site (which was redirecting them to CS or ammy to buy), so why not get the benefit? |
