Leanpub
it’s time to publish your own book
Hello guys! hope everyone is safe. Today I bought an interesting blog about a platform that facilitate making your own books. if you come up with a new idea or you want to share your knowledge with others, I think this is a great platform to get your job done as you wish.
take a look of the website and here’s the link — https://leanpub.com/
the speciality of this website is it's free. that is an advantage for beginners and solos who is enthusiastic to write and publish their own book.
Following image shows the main interface of the website.
first, you want to create a leanpub account, it a simple just like a normal Gmail account. you can create an account associated with your gmail account.
when you click sign up, (that means you don’t have a leanpub account) you will be redirected to a page as follows. you can simply create an account, it's not a tough process.
Then sign in to leanpub with the account you created.
Then I am going to show you how to create a book.
go to create a book, when you click this you can see a tab as follows.
Enter your book details, then select the written method, they will be given you 4 options, you could be able to select a method as you wish.
I am used to select the 4th method, that is the uploading method, in that method we can simply make our book and upload it as a pdf, that is easy because the formatting part is very easy and its user friendly to us since we’re using software like MS.Word very commonly.
after that part, you want to select a plan, since you are a beginner I recommend you to use the Free method. when using Free method there are some limitations but it has enough facilities.
Click add to plan. after that, you want to edit the book further. click author and next go to books tab.
your book also should appear here, I already published my book, so it's displayed under the published book, your book is still not published, so its display under unpublished book.
simply click the book and step into the settings page, in that you can edit all the settings of the book.
you can edit all the settings of the book by that, all the things including authors, co-authors, pricing, royalties.
after all the jobs are done, you can simply click publish button then it's going live.
I would like to post the link to my published book, so you can see how it's going to be published.
