These are more than product pages. D2D Book Tabs are where your book lives and breathes online. They give your readers a beautiful and convenient place to find out everything they need to know to make the decision to buy and read your book.
Using our Universal Book Links (UBLs), Book Tabs are completely independent of any single eBook retailer. Readers can click the Buy Now button and find your book everywhere it’s sold online. And they can choose a default store, so that the next time they click Buy Now on your book pages, they straight to where they prefer to get their eBooks.
Fewer clicks between your readers and your books means a better chance of making the sale! Book Tabs include:
- Your book and series titles
- Your name as the author, with a link for readers to find more books by you
- The cover image of your book
- A customizable book description
- Customizable page elements to help promote your book to readers
- A Buy Now button that uses our UBLs
- Thumbnails of other books in the same series
- Your author photo and bio, along with links and buttons for readers to follow you on social media, and to either sign up for your mailing list or notified when you have new releases
Quick Start Guide The moment you create a Universal Book Link, your D2D Book Tab pops into existence. So that’s easy! - Open your Book Tab—From the Universal Links Dashboard, you’ll see the second column is labeled Book Tab, and next to each book title you’ll see a light blue Book Tab icon. Click this to open the Book Tab for that book.
- Enter Edit Mode—Click on the Enter Edit Modebutton in the green banner to start editing the page.
- Edit Regions—Any area of the page that is outlined in green is editable. Simply click that area and either make a selection or type the content you wish for readers to see. You can select promotional messaging for the Buy Nowbutton (On Sale Now, First In Series, Free, etc.). You can also edit the text for your book description.
- Click SAVE CHANGES—Once you’ve made all the changes you wish to make, you can save the page to make it live.
- Share Your Book Tabs—You can share your D2D Book Tabs with readers by clicking on the address bar at the top of the page and copying the URL. Use this to promote your books in emails, social media, and websites, or on printed materials such as business cards, flyers, and signage.
