Direct Audiobook & eBook Sales — Own Your Audience, Keep Control
Sell directly to your audience, earn more from every customer you bring, and still distribute your audiobooks and eBooks across major retail, library, and educational platforms.
Sell and Give Away eBooks and Audiobooks - Direct.
Lindie is built for creators who know that sometimes a book is the product, and sometimes it’s how you acquire customers.
Give books away intentionally to grow your audience, build your email list, or support speaking, consulting, or other revenue streams
Sell books direct and keep more of what you earn from the audience you bring
Monetize your storefront by selling other authors’ books and popular titles alongside your own
No book? No problem. We can help you turn what you already have into a book.
Built for Authors & Influencers With an Audience
Lindie is built for:
Business, leadership, and personal development authors
Influencers, speakers, and thought leaders
Creators with an audience they can send directly to their own bookstore
If you already have an audience—email subscribers, LinkedIn followers, podcast listeners, or social media followers—Lindie lets you monetize that reach through publishing.
Lindie works best when you already have a direct line to your audience.
How Lindie Makes You More Money
Lindie is designed to increase your total earnings by giving you more ways to monetize your audience—not just more places to list your books.
Higher earnings from direct sales: When you sell books directly through your own storefront, you keep more of the revenue from every sale—especially from the audience you bring.
Revenue beyond book sales: Giving books away strategically can drive revenue elsewhere in your business, including speaking, consulting, coaching, and services.
Ongoing income from your storefront: Once readers are inside your store, you can earn additional revenue from other authors’ books and popular titles—not just your own releases.
Wide distribution working in parallel: While you focus on direct sales and audience growth, Lindie continues distributing your audiobooks and eBooks broadly, so additional revenue streams keep running in the background.
You decide how each book earns money. Lindie gives you the flexibility to use it where it performs best.
One Store. One App. eReader and Audiobook Player Built-In.
Lindie gives you a single destination you can confidently send your audience to—a unified store and app where they can buy, read, and listen in one place.
You don’t need to manage your own storefront or technology. Lindie handles the platform while you focus on your audience.
Your audience gets access to:
A Full-featured eBook & Audiobook Store App where your books live alongside a large catalog of other titles—and where you can send your audience to buy.
Built-in eReader and Audiobook Player: Readers and listeners can purchase, read eBooks, and listen to audiobooks directly inside the app, without jumping between platforms.
They can buy your books, discover hundreds of thousands of other titles, and continue purchasing inside the Lindie ecosystem—while you earn a commission whenever they do.
How LindieWorks Alongside Traditional Distribution
Lindie combines direct sales with wide, traditional distribution, so your books are available everywhere audiences expect to find them.
