<p>Forget everything you think you know about selling your book online. We’re changing it. You won’t need SSL certificates, shopping carts, or piles of books in your basement. All you’ll need is a WordPress website. Oh, and a book.</p>
<p>MyBookTable allows you to have your own bookstore that links to online bookstores where visitors can buy the book.</p>
<p>You can find a <strong>live demo</strong> of MyBookTable in action <a href="https://www.stormhillmedia.com/book-table/" title="MyBookTable Demo" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>

<h4>Recommend Books</h4>
<p>Do you want to sell books by other authors? MyBookTable now has a “Recommended Books” tag out of the box so you can sell not only your books but other authors’ books as well.</p>
<h4>Advanced Search Engine Optimization</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>A Search-Optimized Page for Each Book</strong><br />
Having a search-optimized book page may seem small, but this option makes a huge difference in how many people find your book. Most authors cram all their books onto one page. With so many titles per page, no one book can rank or get coveted Google juice. MyBookTable allows you to create a page for each book, as well as a page with all books listed, so you get the best of both worlds. Edit one and it updates the other. This gives you a much better chance of ranking higher when someone searches for one of your titles.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Native SEO Controls</strong><br />
If you don’t currently use an SEO plugin, MyBookTable provides meta titles and descriptions as if you did, complete with optimized defaults in case you don’t want to bother optimizing it yourself.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Advanced SEO Integration</strong><br />
MyBookTable integrates with popular SEO plugins like WordPress SEO by Yoast and Scribe SEO. If you use one of these plugins, you get full access to their power.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Semantic Markup and OpenGraph</strong><br />
MyBookTable has built-in semantic markup, giving you the edge on search engines like Google and social networks like Facebook. We do all the heavy lifting for you, so your pages are naturally searchable.  This should improve Search Engine Optimization and social optimization.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built-In Tutorial Videos</h4>
<p>MyBookTable has built-in tutorial videos showing you how to use the plugin for maximum effect.</p>
<h4>Compatibility Mode</h4>
<p>With thousands of WordPress themes in existence, we can’t guarantee that MBT will work with every theme. So we have created a compatibility mode that allows for maximum compatibility with your theme. MyBookTable integrates with all the major theme frameworks, including Genesis, Woo Canvas, most Elegant Themes, and many Theme Forest Themes. Thesis is the only framework known not to work.</p>
<h4>Easy Shortcode Interface</h4>
<p>MBT adds an icon to the WordPress WYSIWYG Editor that allows you to add MyBookTable shortcodes to your site with just a couple of clicks.</p>
<h4>Built-in Breadcrumbs</h4>
<p>We have added breadcrumbs, which will not only make your book pages easier to use for your visitors, but will also improve search engine optimization. These breadcrumbs are fully compatible with the Genesis or Woo Canvas breadcrumb systems.</p>
<h4>GetNoticed! Theme Integration</h4>
<p>MyBookTable can import books from Michael Hyatt’s GetNoticed! theme. MyBookTable and GetNoticed! now work together seamlessly.</p>
<h4>Book Widgets</h4>
<p>MyBookTable gives you several cool book widgets. Including a featured book widget, genre widget, series widget, and more!</p>
<h4>Premium Features (Available with Paid Upgrade)</h4>
<h4>Affiliate Integration (Professional Upgrade Required)</h4>

MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media

A WordPress Bookstore Plugin to help authors boost book sales on sites like Amazon and Apple iBooks with great-looking book pages.

<p>So you’ve got an amazing book, and you want an easy way to market it on your web site?  Now you can!  The TotallyBooked plugin helps you present your books to readers in a classy, appealing way, while also supporting the book buyers and local bookstores who carry your book.</p>
<h3>HOW IT WORKS:</h3>
<p>Add your books to the TotallyBooked plugin, then organize them by genre, series, or even by author (if you have a co-writer).</p>
<p>Find the direct links to your book for eleven major online booksellers (Amazon, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Christianbook, Google Play, Indiebound, iTunes, Kobo, Smashwords, and Sony Reader Store) and paste them in our link boxes.</p>
<p>Wondering why we’ve included all these sellers rather than just an Amazon button?  Because book buyers at some of these sellers will refuse to stock your books, if you don’t have a link to their site included on yours.  We want to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.</p>
<p>Have an affiliate account at one or more of these sites?  No problem.  Build your affiliate link in the bookseller’s system first, then paste it into the applicable box in our system, and start earning affiliate credit immediately.</p>
<p>Once you’re done, our plugin generates a gorgeous Buy this Book section, with all your bookseller links displayed.</p>
<p>And that’s not all.  We’ve heard first-hand stories from authors about local bookstores refusing to host book-signing events, because that author only included links to online retailers on their site.  To protect you from that, our system also generates a local bookstore search, connected directly to Google maps.   This shows your support for local bookstores, and helps readers find a nearby store where they can buy or request your title.</p>
<p>Last, our system automatically generates a page for each of your books, plus a page for each series, and page for each genre.</p>
<h3>WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE BOOKS PAGES ON MY SITE?</h3>
<p>Many authors have already created pages on their web site for their books.  We know you’ve worked hard to build your existing pages, and we don’t think you should have to delete them all, just to use our system.   Plus, deleting your existing pages will break any inbound links to those pages from reviewers, book bloggers, etc, and generate 404 page errors for the search engines.  THAT is never a good thing.</p>
<p>Besides the auto-generated pages the plugin creates, our system also allows you to embed your books via shortcode, on your existing pages.  You can embed your books by series, by genre, or book by book, on any of your existing pages or in a blog post.</p>
<p>Ready to get started?  Click the download button now.  Have comments or feature requests?  <a href="http://www.tigerstrikemedia.com/contact-us/" rel="nofollow ugc">We’d love to hear from you</a>.  Oh, and our premium version of this plugin is releasing soon.  Watch this space for details.</p>
<h3>Shortcodes</h3>
<p>You can use the following shortcodes to display your books on your site.</p>
<p>You can also display a gallery of a genre with the shortcode (You can grab this directly from the genre list page)<br />
    [tb_genre_gallery slug=”the-genre-slug”]</p>
<p>Or a series with the shortcode (You can grab this directly from the series list page)<br />
    [tb_series_gallery slug=”the-series-slug”]</p>
<p>You can display a book anywhere on your site like this (You can grab this directly from the book edit page)<br />
    [tb_book id=”ID”]</p>
<h3>Advanced Usage</h3>
<p>We have developed Totally Booked from the ground up to be friendly and easy to use for both developers (Or your web guy) and authors who have better things to do (like writing the next national bestseller!) than to mess with plugins and settings on their website for hours or days on end.</p>
<p>Out of the box it just works (If it doesn’t, please <a href="http://www.tigerstrikemedia.com/contact-us/" rel="nofollow ugc">Let Us Know</a>) but if you want to change things, you can by taking advantage of the following advanced functionality.</p>
<h3>Templating</h3>
<p>Advanced users or WordPress programmers can completely template the entire frontend output of the plugin.</p>
<p>Simply create the following directory in your current theme: <code>THEME_PATH/plugins/totally-booked/</code></p>
<p>Into that, copy the file you need to modify into the above directory from the <code>totally-booked/templates</code> directory in the plugin directory, ensuring you keep the directory structure in the plugin.</p>
<p>EG: Say you wanted to modify the <code>gallery.php</code> file, you would need to copy that file to <code>THEME_PATH/plugins/totally-booked/loops/gallery.php</code>.</p>
<p>Ensuring that you never modify the plugins files will make sure that your changes are not lost when you need to upgrade the plugin.</p>
