How To Create a Sales Landing Page

Contents

In order to create a sales landing page, your book needs to be uploaded to BookFunnel first.

You don’t have to upload your EPUB file if you are only making a sales landing page.

A sales page only requires the book title, description, and book cover. If you think that you might want to distribute your book on BookFunnel someday, upload the book files too. You’ll save future you some time.

How To Create a Sales Landing Page

Once your book is uploaded, you can create your sales landing page:

Click the Add button at the top of your dashboard and select Add New Page.
Select A sales landing page.
Complete the form. Detailed how-to below.
Experiment with the price fields and then click Preview to see how the page changes. Example: Add a Retail Price that is higher than your direct price or store price and we’ll slash through the retail price on the sales landing page.
Click Save and Close.
You can find the link to your sales landing page by clicking Landing Pages on your BookFunnel dashboard. The Link For Readers is next to the page name and can be copied to your clipboard.

Sales Landing Page Form Details

When creating a new sales landing page, the form has three panels to complete: Sales Landing Page Details, Landing Page Settings, and Advanced Settings.

Sales Page Details

Page Name This is a convenient reference for you. Example: “Pride and Prejudice link for Spring Fling Sales Promo”.

Book to Display This is the book featured on the page.

Expiration Date Your sales landing page will expire at 11:59 PM PST on the date you select. You can edit this field later.

Big Button Link This is the link you want the big button on your landing page to take people to.

Big Button Text The text displayed on your big button.

Direct Sales Price USD and EUD The price of the book in your online store. If your store is USD only, leave the EUD field blank. If your store supports EUD, your page will display the price in EUD when a reader visits from a European country. You can also use text in this field like “ON SALE NOW ONLY $2.99.” If you aren’t sure how it will look, try it! Type in some text and then click Save, then click Preview.

Store Price in USD and EUD The price of the book in these retail stores. If your book is not available outside the US, leave the EUD field blank. If your book is available outside the US, you have the option to provide the price in EUD. When a reader visits your page from a European country, your page will display the price in EUD. If your book is priced differently in each store, leave the price field blank so that readers are not mislead.

Retail Price in USD and EUD Provide a retail price and we’ll slash through to make your offer even more enticing like this: ~~$9.99~~.

Think of the retail price like the MSRP at a car dealership– it exists to convince you that you’re getting a great deal. You can also use text if you want the page to show ~~REGULAR PRICE $9.99~~.

Experiment with text and then click Save, then click Preview to see how it looks!

Ebook Store Links

If you are a Books2Read author, provide your universal book link and we’ll grab your store links automatically. When a reader clicks a store link on your sales landing page, they will bounce through B2R and then to the store they selected. If you don’t want readers to bounce through B2R, paste your store links in manually.

If you don’t have a Books2Read universal book link, or want to paste some store links directly, just paste in the buy links for each store you would like the sales page to link to.

Audiobook Store Links

Paste links to the audiobook stores your book is available in.

Heading 2 This is a smaller font than Heading 1. Select “Use a custom heading” to type your own heading, or select one of our default options.
