I just uploaded and got approved my 3rd book. I know I have a while to go but just curious do you do ebooks or print books? I have 2 kids activity books and 1 coloring book. Don’t know what to expect as far as potential sales but you’ve had good success so congrats.
95% are print books. I haven’t had the sales with Ebooks that I’d hoped for so focus is on print books.
thanks for this video yes plz more information about ingramspark😀

Hello,
Congratulations on the dashboard, how do you get the platform updated? i always have the old version and i can't see all that data! Is there a process to follow or did it update you automatically? Thank you
Ingram did this automatically for me.
Very interesting information… Thankyou.!
Thank you!
@@globalselfpublishing ingramspark free like amazon
No, there are upload charges for IngramSpark. This means less competition though!
Hi Romney, great video. You mention money lost from returns but watching one of your other videos (to do with wholesale discount I think) you said you select 'No' for returns. Which do you favour, or have you still had sales selecting 'No' to returns?
I have just a select few books (Illustrated children's books) that I leave the 'Yes' to returns toggled on. I feel they have the best chance of being picked up by bookstores. The majority of the others, I see as online only sales therefore leave as 'NO' for returns. Hope that helps!
Yes thanks Romney, that’s helpful. Mines a children’s story book too and the prospect of paying for a bookstores clerical error ordering too many copies isn’t a good prospect but it’s just something to consider. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. Didn't knew about inframspark. One thing I agree is...if people have to pay uploading fee then definitely they will be serious and another plus point is it won't be over crowded.
Please upload more in depth.
One question though... I'm from India so...can I upload my book?
Or it is only for some specific countries?
Hi Lipika. Yes, you can absolutley create books and upload to IngramSpark from India. They actually have a printing facility based in India too.
@@globalselfpublishing Thank you for your response.
Hi! That's so interesting.
you publishing just with the code of ALLI?
how many books u publishing a months?
is better publishing all with 1 pen names?
I have 3 pen names depending on the Niche. I perhaps load 1 book to Ingram each month and the ALLi Membership code saves a lot of money over the course of the year.
@@globalselfpublishing how is possible that you have 50 books if you publish just 1 book a months? You do this because is better publishing less on ingram and they don't want too much books?
In 2020 and 2021 I was publishing 2 books per month on Ingram. That has slowed down now as I focus on more complicated books that take lots more tme with illustrations etc.
If I use KDP's free ISBN for paperback, can I then buy an ISBN for the Hardcover released on Ingram Spark for that same book? Thanks!
Yes you can.
@@globalselfpublishing great! Thanks again
If you are doing IngramSpark and KDP, how do you handle the ISBN on KDP? Do you use the same one for both?
Yes, use the same for both as long as everything is the same (eg. Title, subtitle, book size, page count...everything).
@@globalselfpublishing Oops! I already posted my book on KDP. I guess I have to take it down, get the ISBN and start again. So I need one ISBN per version (eBook, paperback, ...) but they are selling a bar code with 10 ISBNs. I also see that some websites generate the barcode for free. Then I see a QR code. Is there some place that explains all this? I have not seen one even with lots of Google searches. Thanks!
Is there any problem in uploading the same book with the same design on different platforms?
As long as it has the same metadata and you are in compliance with the catalog integrity unit of that platform you are fine.
IngramSpark offered me to accept a agreement to have my book on Target. Says some kind fee or something. Question; fee comes out of the royalty I earn from the sale or they go into my bank account and withdraw money. Hard to find the answer to this. Please help.
Hi John, I’ve been with Ingram for over 3 years now and I’ve never been offered or sent anything like this before by Ingram? My books have always just been placed with Target but I’ve never had to sign anything separately?
How about tax payment to IRS from Ingramspark earnings ? Especially for non USA resident (authors). Ingram wrote that they do not collect money for tax payment to IRs as Amazon does.
Unfortunatley I'm not a qualified Accountant so its best to check with your accountant for your own specific situation.
@@globalselfpublishing Thanks.I just want to ask your case : do You know If Ingramspark collect money from your sales ( for tax payment purpose) ?
No. I collect the income from Ingram and allocate a % of the revenue based on my overall Qrtly income each month to pay the Australian Taxation Office as part of my qrtly BAS.
@@globalselfpublishing thank you a lot.
@@globalselfpublishing ok you are right. But what about IRS from USA if you and other authors ( non USA citizens) sell books in USA ?
How many books do you have there
Approx 50
@@globalselfpublishing wow
sir, did ingramspark help with marketing for your book? im still kind of confused with this, did ingramspark also have ingramsaprk ads like ams to boost sales for our book?
Ingram offer very little regarding marketing opportunities. They don’t have the equivalent of AMS but because of their wide distribution, sales have organically come in because of their huge reach to over 40,000 online stores, libraries and traditional brick and mortar stores.
@@globalselfpublishing i see, their distribution channel is very wide indeed. i plan to publish coloring book for adult through them, did they accept coloring book? i know low content such as blank notebook journal are not accepted. thanks for your respond sir
Best you read this document or reach out to IngramSpark to confirm. www.ingramspark.com/blog/ingramsparks-catalog-integrity-announcement
