Hivians are a creative bunch and we try to embrace creativity in all forms here at Hivelist. You may or may not know that we have a retail store where creators just like you can come and sell your products on our online platform, similar to Amazon, Etsy, and eBay.

We have a print on demand service that gives visual artists a way to put their creations on items like clothing, coffee mugs, stickers, home goods, wall art, and many different accessories. This is great for those with visual artistry talent, or communities and businesses that need a way to sell logo merchandise.

Store vendors can also create eBooks and upload their PDFs and ePUB files directly to their store and create a product and sell their eBook to their audience. But we are about to take this a HUGE step further!

HiveLIST Print on Demand Books

Thanks to the direction of one of our newest store vendors, @selfhelp4trolls, we have found an awesome printer that we can use to integrate into our store, allowing authors to now sell physical paperback and hardcover books! And we ARE NOT USING AMAZON!!! LOL. Actually the company is called LuLu and they have some really great tools for us to be able to process orders directly through their systems!

We are still working out the details on how we are going to implement this into our store for our vendors, but we are assuming it will be very similar to the print on demand process where there will be a form to fill out with the information needed for us to create your book as well as an upload form to upload your PDF file.

There will be templates available for authors to follow to get the proper formatting and sizing for not only your eBooks, but for use in printed versions.

At first we will only be offering a limited number of options. The supplier has many different options, but we are going to keep it simple to start. Again, we are still planning all of this out.

Ordering Process

Once we get the information and file from the vendor, we then set it up for publishing and the product is automatically added to the vendor's store on the Hivelist Store. Once a customer orders the book, the order is sent to the printer, printed and shipped directly to the customer!

Bulk Ordering

We will also have a bulk ordering feature for those that want to order 100-500 copies of their books and shipped to them. This way, they can handle all the sales and shipping themselves, as well as distribute in their local areas! Again, we are still working out all the detail so more information will be coming soon!

Global Distribution

That's right! With this new platform, we will be able to get your book out across many other channels like Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, LuLu, and more!

This works similarly to the way a music aggregator works in that we will be the middleman and distribute royalties from sales on the other networks as we are paid. We also handle all fiat conversions and pay out our vendors only in HBD, keeping you all in crypto!

Exciting Times Ahead For Hive Authors

Other than posting, until now, Hive authors haven't had a great outlet for their work. There is NFTs for art and music, but nothing great for authors. And writing is the CORE of Hive.

We are excited to be able to bring this offering to our store vendors and our community!

So if you have ever thought about writing a book, or already have work ready to go, we will soon have a printable solution for you!
