Julie Broad shows how to use IngramSpark's sell direct feature to create a shareable link for customers. You set the price, IngramSpark calculates what you keep after print and shipping costs, and you get a QR code or URL to share. The $3.50 service fee plus printing costs means you need to price books at least $9.01 to break even.

It's really straightforward because your book is already set up in ingramspark. So now all you have to do is choose which of your eligible books you want to sell, set the purchase price. It'll calculate your compensation for you and show you what the minimum price that is required in order to cover your print costs plus your shipping. You can see, for self promote and succeed, the minimum is $9.01. You decide if you want to limit the number of orders per link. Right now it maxes at 25 books per order. And then you create a link that you can start immediately sharing. So what's the cost of all this? Well, your wholesale print cost plus a $3.50 service fee. And that's it. It's so simple. And that's what I love about this. You get a QR code, a link, or an HTML code right after you create the link and you're ready to go.
