Self-publishing with iTunes Connect and iTunes Producer for iBooks is so easy! All you need to do is to follow a few steps and your eBook would be published! But before that, you have to create your iTunes Connect Account.
iTunes Connect is the platform developers use to sell apps in the iTunes App Store and publishers use to sell ebooks in the iBooks Store. This is also where you’ll manage your content, including contracts, pricing, banking and tax info. You can also access your sales reports.
You can create a Free Books account if you plan to only make ebooks available free in the iBooks Store. This is a quick and simple process that does not require you to enter banking and tax info. It’s a great option if you are located outside the US and just want to make your books available.
But if you want to sell ebooks in the iBooks store, you need to create a Paid Books account, set up agreements, set up banking and tax information, and wait for approval. This process can take up to two weeks or less.
So, are you ready to set an iTunes Connect Account?
