Thank you for this important message about owning ISBN's. Unfortunately, I went with Amazon free ISBN for my first two books as I did not know then what I know now. For my 3rd I have bought my ISBN's and put a barcode on it. For all of my books I did register my copyright and registered with the Library of Congress. Much appreciated.
I am working on switching mine from just amazon to my own isbn. I saved to get them. I appreciate your help since I really want to distribute to other people

Yes, it can be confusing at first, but when you consider it a key aspect of publishing, that makes learning what to do a lot easier. We are self-publishing, right? That means we have to handle those other not-fancy stuff. Good, we have guides like, Julie. Hang in there.
Great video. I would like to see a separate video on how to use Overdrive to get a book into libraries. Can authors still have their book in Kindle Select if the eBook is available in libraries?
The million dollar question, I want to use Amazon ASIN number for Amazon sales. However, I want to slap a barcode sticker with my ISBN number on books sold in stores I have an agreement with. It is my understanding that if you publish with an ISBN through Amazon that you have to put a city and state on your copyright page. Is this accurate? Does this also mean I would now have to have my own publishing company in my name or some company name?
Such a helpful breakdown! Every author needs to know this-thanks for sharing the secrets! 📚✨
Spreadsheets are super important in so many aspects of book publishing! I’m definitely planning on using one for IBS!
The video I have coming out on Friday talks about spreadsheets too!
@@BookLaunchers Yay, so excited for tomorrow! 🙏 ✨ 📗
@ I can almost guarantee it's not a subject you're expecting.

Great information, clearly explained.
Glad you think so!
This is so confusing that I think I just consigned my manuscript to the bottom drawer to forget about my writing ambitions forever.

Hang in there.
Love your perspective and thank you for supporting @yelloworangered :) The good news with this is you can simplify this to 'buy your ISBNS' :)
Great video. I would like to see a separate video on how to use Overdrive to get a book into libraries.

You can't use Overdrive directly - you can only gain access via the aggregators and then promote your book to libraries directly from there.

Hmmm that sounds tricky but I guess if they aren't buying from Ingram - you're just doing consignment that would work. Why not just use an ISBN for all of them? If it's going to be sold in the store it will be listed in a catalog and there could be all kinds of issues having an ASIN and an ISBN.
For your copyright page I cover the requirements in this video: ruclips.net/video/xcxRKec8F9E/видео.htmlsi=ClQdBJK34ZQA1ROy but man that video is old - I should do an updated version.
The essential elements for a copyright page are:
Copyright notice (© symbol, year, and copyright owner's name)
