Embed preview into my own site

Once I get my books into production, I’ll be setting up a website to market them.

Is it possible to embed my Blurb ‘previews’ into that site ? Naturally I’ll create links to the relevant book when people want to order but it would be nice for them to be able to remain on my site and watch the preview there.

I agree…that’s something I’d like to see too. Being able to imbed the preview would be great way to advertise.

Perhaps you want to submit an enhancement request by submitting feedback and suggestion with Blurb.

Hope that helps. Brian {a passionately Blurbarian}

If  you are using word press you can get a plug-in to do that. You would need to get screen shots of whatever pages you want previewed.

Would be great if Blurb would just give us a code to embed!

Sign me up for the "me too" list. The preview is great tool, Blurb should be pushing it as far as it will go! 8^)

Yes, it was released earlier this year.

Go to the Make Books menu at the bottom of this page you’ll see Share, Promote, Sell. The details are in there.

So it is! Thank you blurb, just what I needed to start advertising my book. Once I could build a proper landing page with that embedded….

I’ve now got a handful of ads running on Facebook, let’s see what happens. Yup, I’m happy.
