Secret #6: Creating momentum and identity through Book Sellers!
Aho
99% of them were wrong when I asked this simple question.
Who are the best eBook Sellers online today?
The answer I received from most of my ezine list was Amazon.com.
Well here is the good news. Amazon.com is not the onlybookseller on the Internet.
Today at first glance things can be rather confusing. Booksellers or e-publishers are popping up all over. Each one seems to bring a new twist to the profession.
Electronic publishing is an industry that is still in itsinfancy. It encompasses eBooks, as well as print-on-demandtechnology. Many new innovative companies have beenattracted by the exciting possibilities and as a resultthere are numerous competing companies, software formatsand accompanying handheld readers and printer/binders.
In this new "Wild West" of publishing, with multiple readingchoices and no clear leader or standard yet established,confusion reigns for consumers as well as publishers.However, much as we have witnessed in other maturingindustries, the competition is fierce, resulting in rapidlyimproving technology, dropping prices with emerging standards.The purchase price of eBooks could be as much 80% less thana comparable book purchased through traditional bookstores.
It used to be you submitted to a traditional book publisherand waited to see if you were accepted. Today, there areall kinds of choices to become familiar with.
Now before we begin let's narrow down the field a little. There are 3 different types of booksellers that I amreferring to.
The first is an online bookseller that you need a publisherto contact before they will look at your eBook.
Second is a bookseller that charges a royalty percentage tosell your eBook.
And last but not least, an online bookseller that will sell your eBook for either a flat up front fee or for free. This means you retain 100% of the profits from your eBook sales.
Today we will be talking about the third, or the last example.
Why use online booksellers is probably what you are askingyourself right about now.
Here are the answers:
1. Books written by the Author never go out of print.
2. Authors can write what they want without formulas beingdictated.
3. Crossing genres isn't a problem.
4. All profits are kept and not shared.
5. eBooks can be changed and/or updated easily.
6. Authors have a global audience.
7. Increases your online identity.
8. Builds momentum for your sales.
Now, once again you also get to keep 100% of the profitsfrom your eBook sales. WOW!
Compare those figures to the normal print royalties: 7%on 50,000 copies for trade paperback, 8% on the first 150,000copies for mass market paperback, or 8% to 15% on 15,000copies for hardcover.
Another great advantage of this type of booksellers overprint books is that you always retain complete rights toyour title and your agreements will be non-exclusive(meaning that you may also sell your work through otherpublishers). Either party may terminate the agreement byusing a thirty-day email notification.
