Creation

How do I create a Book Page on GoBook?

From your Dashboard, click the “New Book” button at the top right-hand corner of the page. Once you are on the Creation page, it takes only three steps to create a GoBook Book Page. First, enter your book’s Title and Description. Then, upload your Book Cover. Finally, add your book’s Purchase Links.

Once you’ve chosen your file and uploaded to GoBook, a preview of the Book Cover image will appear.

The final step is to add your Purchase Links. GoBook currently accepts Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Nook, and Kobo eBooks; Audible and Amazon Audio CD audiobooks; Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million paperbacks; and Amazon UK, Canada, and Australia international links. Simply copy and paste the book’s links from these stores into GoBook.

In addition to creating the Facebook post’s Title and Description, you also choose what image will be displayed when your URL is shared. There are a number of different background images to choose from, and your cover can be displayed on its own, on an iPad, or on a Kindle. More background images are being added all the time.

How do I upload a Custom Facebook image?

You can also upload a custom image to use as your Facebook post image instead of using one of the GoBook presets. An image size as close as possible to 1200 px by 630 px is recommended.

What is the FB Preview/Reset?
