How to sell your PDF on Blurb's site

  • Updated

When you create a book on Blurb's site you'll have the option to purchase and then sell a PDF version of your book. Once you've purchased a copy of the PDF you can make it available for sale on our website. (Note that it's not possible to list your PDF in our Amazon or Global Retail Network distribution channels).

1. Go to your My Projects page, find the book, and click "Sell Book".

2. In the "Project Details" section enter any descriptive information for your book. Save your changes.

3. Click the "Sales Channel and Profit" tab. This is where you can set up the PDF or the print version for sale.

8. Look for the PDF option and click "Set up listing". (If this listing is greyed out it means you must first purchase a copy of the PDF yourself).

9. Click "Sell through Blurb Direct Sell".

10. Add a profit mark-up if desired. The mark-up is what you'll earn when someone orders a copy of that PDF. If you don't want to earn a profit leave the price at the base price of $4.99. (You won't earn any profit on PDF sales in that case).

11. Click "Save".

Your PDF version is now available to share and sell. When you share the link, your buyers will be taken to a page where they can purchase the PDF version (and or the print version if you've enabled that).
