If you're an author looking to self-publish your book, you need to get a ISBN. ISBNs are unique codes that identify your book and allow it to be sold internationally. You can get a free ISBN from a variety of sources, including your national ISBN agency or your book's printer.
Getting an ISBN number is a good idea for a few reasons. For one, you can avoid a big problem because many companies won't even look at a book without an ISBN. So if you ever want to make any money from your book, you'll need to get one. Another thing is that it helps you maximize the book's sales because when you get an ISBN, you add credibility to your book. Plus, because you'll have an ISBN, you'll be able to market your book much better, which leads to better sales.
If you are going to self-publish your book and at the same time want to build strong credibility for your book, then you need an ISBN (at least for the paperback book).
If you use my ISBN, then my company (imprint name) will act as the publisher of your book. You can also use my company logo and website URL on your book copyright page. This will give a professional look to your book.
I will also list your book on my company website and post it on our social media as a bonus.
There are platy of benefits to having your own ISBN for each publication (Ebook, Paperback, etc).
You hold the copyright and royalties. I will just assign your book to an ISBN from our own company. We don't limit and control your publication If you use our ISBN.
You won't be able to publish your book (ebook, paperback, etc) on Amazon or anywhere without an ISBN. The good part is that most book publishing platforms will provide you a free ISBN, but it comes with its own limitations and a few downsides.
The biggest downside of using a free ISBN is that everyone will know that your book is self-published. And, must book distributors or sellers would rather not list self-published books due to quality issues.
Your book ISBN is the identification number of your book. If you have put great effort into creating your book, then WHY not use your own ISBN.
ISBNs are a great way to track how well a book is selling. They're used by book stores, libraries, and distributors. If you have a book that you want to publish, you'll need to get an ISBN. Even if you're just writing a series of eBooks, it's a good idea to get a single ISBN to use for all of them. It's a one-time fee, and you can always make more books later!
