1. Amazon.
Amazon is the biggest and the most popularly known book publishing platform online. On Amazon, you publish your book yourself, put any amount you want and for every sale, for each book that is bought, you get seventy per cent. And, if there are mistakes in your book, if there are things you feel you should add after you’ve published, you can still go back and edit.
Publishing on Amazon is easy. You just have to own an account, use the account to sign up on KDP and publish your book after putting in the necessary details.
2. Scribd.

Here, after your book has been published, readers pay to read and not to buy. It is like a subscription and as soon as a reader pays to read, you will be paid too.
Scribd looks more advantageous because a reader can not buy your book and share it with other readers since the only access they have is to read and pay on the site. It is not like Amazon that you must have to buy.
So, anyone who needs your book must be ready to pay.
3. Lulu.
Lulu allows you to publish your ebook and convert it to PDF if you want.
4. Wattpad.
Wattpad is a social storytelling platform where users connect with their favourite writers and read and write original stories. Writers who publish on Wattpad can add tags to their stories that work similarly to hashtags on social media. Users can then search those tags to find the kinds of stories and types of content they are interested in reading. Wattpad is available in a browser or via an app on your mobile phone.
5. Good Novel.
Writers can use the platform to create without signing a GoodNovel contract, or they can apply for a contract by posting at least 5,000 words and clicking a button, after which GoodNovel will evaluate whether they want to offer a contract, and if so, what kind. If you want an Exclusive contract, it means that story will only be published there. You’ll be paid more.
If you want a Non-exclusive, you can still publish them on other platforms.
6. Apple Books
