Here’s a batch of new ecommerce books for the fall. There are titles on social media marketing, international ecommerce, launching a side hustle, creating demand, finding an online audience, growing a startup, and several titles on building a brand.

I compiled this list using Amazon. From Amazon’s “Books” category, I selected “Business & Money.” I then chose the “Processes & Infrastructure” sub-category and selected “E-commerce.” Next, I handpicked titles from that group based on customer ratings and relation to online selling. In addition, I chose a few titles from the “Business Development & Entrepreneurship” sub-category.
