  Hello world,
  A few months ago I self-published some books. I have a box of each left and want to sell them online, though I’m not expecting big sales and my margins are small (it’s a hobby not my income), so buying big web site plans and plugins seems foolish.
  Yes, self-publishing is foolish to start with.
  It seems I can buy a $4 monthly ‘blogger’ business plan for WordPress, and then add WooCommerce plugin for free. I’m not actually expecting to earn $4 a month from the two books (I’m realistic not pessimistic) however this looks the cheapest way to sell online… unless I make links to a ebay site.
  Any advice out their in the world?
  Thank you very much.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, just to clarify on plugins, the Business plan is the only plan that gives you the ability to install WooCommerce. https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/

  Another option for selling, even with a free hosted website like bucketofwork.wordpress.com is to add a PayPal payment button to your site. Here’s how you can do that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  Hope that helps.
