Tips for selling physical publications
- Describe the format, page count, print method, paper and binding — collectors care about how it was made.
- Note the edition size and whether copies are numbered or signed.
- Use options for issue number, cover color or signed copies on a single listing.
- Light publications can ship cheaply; set a low flat rate or a free-shipping threshold for bundles.
- Print QR codes on flyers for zine fairs and readings that link to your shop.
Start a zine and small-press marketplace
