Online Self Publishing is revolutionizing the book industry

Online self publishing is no longer a fad, and it is certainly no longer tagged as “vanity publishing.”

Some of the most successful writers are “making the switch” from traditional publishing and either opening up their own companies or working with the experts to create quality hard copy and ebook versions of their latest works.

Why the switch?

Business is about money, and most professional writers learn, usually after taking a couple of courses at the University of Hard Knocks, that they must pay close attention not only to the art and craft but also to the business of writing.

online self publishing Why, for example, should a traditional publisher get the lion’s share of the profits when they are the owners of the intellectual property--the assets--that are basic to that publisher’s business?

In recent years it has been customary to have authors sign “net” rather than “gross” publishing contracts.

By the time the publisher has subtracted all of their printing, distribution and marketing expenses, the author may end up with enough money to buy a fast food lunch or a couple cans of tuna fish.

Working with leading internet marketing companies They started to put together their own guerilla marketing plan that could obtain the same results with the added benefit of making more profits.

Then at that point, some of them have been able to sell their books to one of the traditional publishers for a hefty sum.

If it is a fiction work, the sale may include a feature film or TV movie or series contract.



Today there are many ways to cut the pie, and that’s because of a second revolution that has followed close on the heels of the self publishing one: internet marketing IT that shows individuals how to build a website that can become a traffic magnet.

One of the most powerful marketing companies on the internet is SiteSell. This company is not only low cost, but user friendly with a support system that surrounds web builders and newbie web marketers with every tool they would ever need to build a website that is strategically positioned to sell products and services.

A company such as SiteSell is basic to any online self publishing venture.
