I love how simple it is to keep track of clicks on custom links and to create Universal Book Links, which simplify the process for a reader to choose a retailer to purchase from.
Finley K. JamesUniversal book links are a MUST for any author... the universal links knows exactly where the closest store in the territory of the reader and automatically redirects them... Swift, clean and efficient.
Nicky WebberThe universal book link is worth money on its own, and it's free! You can link to your Amazon book to anyone, and it will take them directly to their country's Amazon...

Readers can find the major retailers where your book is available at a glance.
Big buttons make it easy for readers to get where they want to go.
Most readers have a "preferred store" set on StoryOrigin, so they bypass the StoryOrigin page and are redirected to their preferred retailer.
If the reader's preferred retailer is not available, they will see the retailers where the book is available.
Add your affiliate tags for multiple Amazon storefronts, so you can earn a commission when readers buy anything from Amazon after clicking your link.
StoryOrigin provides a link to an affiliate disclosure page on every universal book link, noting that an affiliate commission may be earned on purchases.
Put all of your books in order for readers or create assortments of books in unrelated universes.
Collect sign-ups for your mailing list by adding a Reader Magnet landing page to your Book Collection.
Input the details of your book (such as title, pen name, etc.), and StoryOrigin will generates a unique link that redirects readers to various retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play, or Smashwords.
Universal Book Links simplify the buying process for readers by offering a single link that accommodates different retailer preferences.
Universal Links are especially important when you're sending readers to Amazon, because they have different storefronts for different countries.
For example, there's amazon.co.uk for the UK, amazon.com.au for Australia, amazon.de for Germany, etc.
Yes, you can host a Universal Book Link (or any other landing page from StoryOrigin) on your own custom domain with the Custom Links / Website Builder feature.
Yes, you can also create Universal Audiobook Links.
Yes, you add your affiliate tags to your Universal Book Links.
Note: Amazon has different affiliate programs for their different storefronts (amazon.com vs. amazon.co.uk, etc.).
You can add your Amazon affiliate tags for amazon.com, amazon.ca, amazon.co.uk, or amazon.com.au, and StoryOrigin will automatically use the relevant Amazon affiliate tag depending on which storefront the reader is redirected to.
Universal Book Links require at least 1 retailer link added to them.
If your book isn't published yet, you will need to set up a preorder for that book, so there is a retailer page associated with it. Then, you'll be able to create a Universal Book Link for your preorder page.
Is there a 5 star rating system on this? Because StoryOrigin is at least 6 stars. At least! I've used the other platforms... and none of them approach the flexibility and power of StoryOrigin
W.H. LockI used to use several sites and groups to facilitate things like newsletter swaps, multi-author book promos, reader magnets, and reviews, but I can do it all and better on StoryOrigin.
A. F. StewartI love StoryOrigin. I've used other sites for promotions and newsletter swaps but this one is easier and more author-focused. Highly recommend for new or serious authors.
Gina KincadeStoryOrigin changed my life, and it's the BEST tool that actually works with increasing sales, subscribers, and reaching new readers.
Anca-Melinda Coliolu... compared to a lot of similar sites designed to help authors, StoryOrigin has the best UI, the most features and a great community of authors.
