Book marketing services

Affordable, effective programs that provide a real opportunity to reach new readers and drive a positive return on your investment

Here's the truth about marketing and selling your book:

  1. As an independent author, you are the one who needs to — and has the ability to — create demand for your book.
  2. Most fancy book marketing programs will not generate enough sales to pay for themselves.
  3. Generating a market for your book takes time and consistent effort.
    In short, demand starts with you. Read more about creating demand in this article

That's why BookBaby's book marketing services are different.

We've streamlined our services to provide affordable programs designed to give you a genuine opportunity to achieve a positive return on your investment.

ISBNs for $79 each

Every book on the market needs its own unique ISBN (International Standard Book Number): a numeric identifier used to identify books. If you plan to sell your book in a bookstore, through an online retailer, or to your local library, you'll need to have a 13-digit ISBN. We sell a single ISBN at the rate of $79 each, which is lower than what you'll find elsewhere (Bowker sells ISBNs for $125 each).
