What
better way to find out if your book will be popular? Earn royalties while
you discover how many the public will buy. You will have a proven
track record to give a publishing house if the book can go on to the
next
level. Leaving
your book to your loved ones continues your legacy as it grows and gives.
This,
the page you're on, is your first step to publishing that manuscript
you've spent so
much time writing. We'll take it to the next level for you and put
a proof copy in your hands. The
process from start to finish will take from 2 to 6 weeks or longer
if a lot of changes and revisions are requested. We are filling the
void
between photocopied books and expensive publishers. Publishers, print-on-demand
or traditional, have lots of hidden costs and those
are not a problem if they're
confident you have a winner. They will pick up all the costs, give
you an advance and simply arrange
a royalty from each sale to go to you. If they don't pick up the
costs then what you need to know is who pays for the books that
stock store shelves prior
to
them
being
sold,
who
pays
for
books destroyed on store shelves or returned tattered? Who pays for
the set-up to run your book and most important of all, what
will the cost be for subsequent runs after the initial set-up and first
run
is complete? Get it in writing!
Our
idea is
to simply bring your book to market. Give it a broad base through
Amazon plus you purchase some books to place on shelves of local
or regional book stores. You can now build a documented track on
sales numbers. Suppose you located your books in a population
base of 100,000. Then if one book sells per 100,000 per month
you could expect US sales to be 42,000 books per year by covering
the entire
country. In
order
to
meet that requirement there would have to be a minimum of 21,000
for books for the USA in print and unsold at any given time. That
could cost upwards of $25,000 based on a 200 page book. A publisher
would be more inclined to look at 50,000 or 100,000 book sales
per year to make you a no cost proposal.
What's
the bottom line, get the book printed with us. Get
on Amazon and start Internet marketing. Buy a domain name to start
your own Internet marketing as well. Purchase 30 books for your own
use.
Visit local bookstores (5) and leave 5 copies on consignment. Talk
to the nearest Chapters manager, they will
take some books on consignment and have authority to do so.
Your profit on a book of roughly 200 pages selling for $12.95
would
range from $2.00 to $7.00 depending on how and whom made the sale.
Your total
cost to start this scenario would be less than a thousand dollars
and that would put 30 books in your hands with subsequent
books costing
roughly
$3.00 US each. You need to purchase roughly 20,000 books from
a printer to attain that price or a cash outlay of $30,000.
This
has been a very optimistic example, most are fortunate to be able to
sell 250 books
per year and that is enough to pay your print-on-demand costs with
us in the first year, generating profits for you in subsequent years.

big, start small. |
