• 14 Tips for Becoming an Indie Author

  As an indie author and publisher, you may start with one platform—Amazon’s KDP, Lulu, or maybe Leanpub. You may develop the appetite to publish your next title on that platform, too. That can be fine and actually quite useful—but even with Amazon being the ebook platform, increase your reach, and sell on additional platforms. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• website/platform to sell stories based on choose-your-own-fee pricing?

  For books, you can sell on leanpub.com, which uses adjustable sliders for pricing. They take 20%, but they set a minimum price of $7.99, which is probably too high for selling individual stories (they are aiming more at textbooks and technical trade books). Source: 10 months ago

• What minimum can I do with a laptop which can help me earn (legal) money (no matter how small, but guaranteed) in python. I wish to know the depth I need to go before I start earning literally anything. Oh and yes, It would be a plus if it were Remote work.

  Look up FREE books. So many peeps have written their own books and put them on the web. One place I also like to get free books is leanpub.com. Source: 10 months ago

• Ruboss is hiring a marketing intern for Leanpub

  Leanpub is the best way in the world for authors to publish books and courses using lightweight, AI-powered tools and many iterations to get reader feedback, pivot until you have the right book or course and build traction once you do. Source: about 1 year ago

• Trading Bot Course with full code

  That sounds very interesting and promising. You can sell your course in https://leanpub.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Free Software for Creating Lab Manual

  LeanPub (leanpub.com) has a fairly popular system for creating technical books that also allows you to sell the books (for $0 if you want, or for $7.99 or more, with coupons for free books to selected people, like students in your class). They use Markua (a Markdown version), but there is a path for transferring books from Word. Source: over 1 year ago

• Thinking of writing a guide to starting contracting

  I like that idea, I've seen that done on https://leanpub.com/. Thanks for that. Source: over 1 year ago

• If money wasn’t an issue (and neither was waste) what would you do that you can’t now?

  There is also leanpub.com (but that's technically oriented) and also there is lulu.com as well. Good luck! Source: over 1 year ago

• If anyone's trying to learn new data science skills!

  There were creators on their platform who literally pleaded for people not to take their course, since DC also holds a perpetual license on the videos that are uploaded. Some moved over to https://leanpub.com/, https://www.dataquest.io/, https://www.udemy.com/, etc for publishing. I can't really recommend any though as I have no experience with video courses.

• What are good online technical book editing websites with code syntax support.

  With Leanpub, you can write the book in Markdown and include code samples. You can sell the generated epub/pdf on their website or on other platforms. More info here: https://leanpub.com/create/book. Source: over 1 year ago

• One time purchase('pay what you want'), no signing up -does a site like this exist?

  A little late to the thread, but Leanpub offers a "Pay what you want" feature. Source: almost 2 years ago

• CLOG Builder Tutorial 4 a complete database app in minutes (link in comments)

  A little off topic, but if you have several Common Lisp projects with good writeups, please consider putting them in a book form. I do this using leanpub.com and it is easy to write and publish, as well as incrementally add new material and have users notified. Reach out to me for information on how I do this - I have a lot of fun, a recommended hobby! Source: about 2 years ago

• How to Help Your Students Who Are Struggling with the Cost of Books and Class Materials

  Leanpub.com provides two different services: one is a book-formatting tool based on Markup or Markua, the other is a storefront for selling e-books. I've used only the storefront, as I needed the extra power of LaTeX for formatting my book. Source: over 2 years ago

• Quitting the LMS?

  The textbook that I wrote and give students free coupons for on leanpub.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• World Scientific Publishing?

  So far, I have been self-publishing PDF through leanpub.com, but I've had 1–2 updates to the book a year, and so delayed doing paper publication. The book should be fairly stable for the next couple of years, though, so it may be time to bring it out in a paper edition. (The book is not easily convertible to EPUB or MOBI formats (hundreds of vector-graphics images), so electronic format will remain PDF.). Source: over 2 years ago

• What's the best site to post my books for free?

  If you have a way of directing people to a site, then leanpub.com lets you distribute ebooks for free (with people paying if they want to). You can also sell books there (minimum price $4.99). It is a moderately popular site for computer textbooks, and I have an electronics textbook there. I have a recommended price of $14.99, a minimum price of $7.99, but I issue coupons for free copies to my students. Source: over 2 years ago

• How much writing and research time for course development?

  If you want more control over the textbook than OER gives you, you can publish through leanpub.com and set whatever price you want (almost—you can do $0 or anything $4.99 and up). I did my textbook that way, but I give my students coupons for free PDF. Source: over 2 years ago

• Y’all, I just could not with this one

  One way to distribute resources for free is to publish them as a short "book" on leanpub.com and list the minimum price as $0. I've done that for the design report guidelines I wrote: https://leanpub.com/design_report_guidelines, which is a one-chapter extract from my electronics textbook. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What are the places where you self publish ebooks?

  I use KDP and have the places IngramSpark supplies for reach, but I also use Leanpub for the ability to do my own discounts and to provide an alternative to Amazon (some people just refuse to buy from there). The royalties there are really good too. Source: almost 3 years ago
