Are you aware of my ebook, “50 Ways to Sell Your Ebook?” I offer it for sale at my website for $3.95. http://www.matilijapress.com
Here is an excerpt from the Introduction to this ebook:
Some of you may recall when the big six publishers looked down their noses at the ebook concept and refused to get involved with something so new fangled and risky. They allowed the small and independent publishers to pave the way and prove the value of the ebook. Now, some of the big publishers are earning as much as 22 percent of their revenue through digital book sales.
Statisticians are busy keeping track of ebook sales. But few dare to guess at the number of ebooks available. Internet news source, Publicola, recently did some serious research through Amazon.com, RR Bowker, Barnes and Noble and others, and concluded that there are more than ten million ebooks available in the US. Publishing Industry stats show that 85 percent of print book publishers plan to produce both print and ebooks in the future.
Yes, ebooks are here and, apparently, here to stay. So it’s no wonder that authors are interested in exploring the digital publishing avenue. Many of the questions I field these days as the executive director of SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network) and a workshop leader and speaker at writers’ conferences and writers’ group meetings, relate to publishing and marketing ebooks. That’s why I decided to prepare this report for you.
